The BOX Furniture | Bespoke Live Edge & Waney Edge Dining Tables

At The BOX Furniture, we create bespoke hardwood dining tables that stand out as statement pieces — crafted to size, built to last and designed to bring warmth, texture, and individuality into any setting.

Each table is handmade in our UK workshop using premium hardwoods such as oak, elm, ash, and walnut, chosen for their exceptional grain patterns and natural strength.

Whether for a one-off domestic commission or a large commercial project, our focus remains the same: timeless design, precise craftsmanship and truly unique results.

One-Off Commissions & Commercial Projects

Our expertise extends beyond individual homes. While many of our clients come to us for one-of-a-kind dining tables for their kitchens or dining rooms, we also work with restaurants, bars, hotels and commercial interiors to produce multiple hardwood tables in a cohesive style.

Each piece shares a design language — for example, the same leg form, edge profile, or finish — yet remains unique, as no two slabs of timber are ever identical. The result is a collection of bespoke hardwood dining tables that complement each other while celebrating the individuality of natural wood.

For domestic customers, that means a table tailored perfectly to their home. For commercial clients, it means a consistent aesthetic across a dining space — handcrafted tables that still carry their own story in every grain and knot.

Live Edge Dining Tables – Raw Beauty, Handcrafted Precision

Our live edge dining tables are made from carefully selected slabs of oak, elm, or walnut, retaining the tree’s natural form along the edge. No two tables are ever the same. The irregular grain, knots and natural contours are left visible, giving each piece a distinctive identity.

We use traditional woodworking methods alongside modern joinery techniques to ensure that these natural shapes are both beautiful and structurally sound. Bow tie joints (also known as butterfly joints) are often used to stabilise natural splits within the wood, emphasising craftsmanship while preserving the authenticity of the material.

A live edge oak dining table or live edge elm dining table from The BOX Furniture brings organic movement and texture into any dining environment — from rustic farmhouse kitchens to high-end restaurants or open-plan hospitality spaces.

Waney Edge Dining Tables – Elegant, Natural and Timeless

Our waney edge dining tables offer a slightly more refined take on the live edge design. The waney edge retains the natural contour of the tree, creating a smoother, more balanced aesthetic. These tables embody the organic charm of the timber while providing a subtle, polished silhouette that suits both traditional homes and contemporary commercial interiors.

Each waney edge oak dining table or waney edge elm dining table is made to order, with the edge hand-finished to enhance the natural flow of the grain. Whether paired with slim steel legs for an industrial edge or solid hardwood bases for a more traditional feel, these tables become unforgettable centrepieces — refined yet deeply organic.

Built to Size – From Compact Spaces to Large-Scale Projects

At The BOX Furniture, every dining table is made to measure. From small four-seater tables to statement pieces spanning over three metres, we build to your exact specifications. We also design and manufacture multiple-table commissions for commercial environments — ensuring consistency of tone, form, and finish across an entire collection.

You can choose:

  • Hardwood species: oak, elm, ash or walnut.
  • Edge style: live edge or waney edge.
  • Finish: natural oil, lacquer or custom stain.
  • Base design: steel, hardwood or bespoke metalwork.

Because everything is produced in-house, we can match existing furniture, accommodate unique spaces and deliver truly bespoke hardwood dining tables that fit perfectly — in both size and character.

Craftsmanship That Stands Out

Our hardwood tables are not just furniture; they are functional art pieces made to last a lifetime. Using sustainably sourced timber, expert joinery, and precision finishing, every table showcases the best of British craftsmanship.

From single bespoke commissions to full restaurant fit-outs, we ensure every piece receives the same level of care and attention. Each table is finished by hand to enhance the depth and colour of the wood, sealed with durable coatings suitable for both domestic and commercial use.
