Solid Acacia Wood Coffee Table

Acacia wood, prized for its durability and distinctive grain patterns, stands as a popular choice for coffee tables. Derived from the Acacia tree, which is abundant in various regions, this hardwood is known for its rich colour & natural resistance to water & pests.

The manufacturing process begins with harvesting mature Acacia trees, which are then milled into planks to expose the wood's intricate grain. These planks are kiln-dried to achieve optimal moisture content, ensuring stability and minimising the risk of warping or cracking. Next, our skilled craftsmen shape the wood into table components and sand the assembled piece to achieve a smooth surface without compromising the natural texture and depth of the grain patterns.

To enhance their longevity, our acacia wood coffee tables undergo a protective finishing process, in which a clear lacquer is applied to create a barrier against moisture, stains, and scratches. The protective finish not only safeguards the wood but also enriches its natural tones, highlighting the unique variations in the grain. The result is a stunning coffee table that seamlessly combines durability with the warm, inviting aesthetics of acacia wood, ready to grace your home for generations to come.

Key Benefits

• Impressive Janka Hardness: Acacia wood earns acclaim with its remarkable Janka hardness rating, typically around 2300. This high rating signals exceptional strength, providing robust resistance to dents & minor scratches, ensuring it stands up to the rigours of daily use without significant wear & tear.
• Distinctive Grain Patterns: Acacia wood showcases a diverse range of grain patterns, adding character & uniqueness to each coffee table. The interplay of different grain variations enhances the visual appeal, creating an individualistic & captivating aesthetic for your living space.
• Sustainable Choice: Renowned for its rapid regrowth, acacia wood ensures a constant & sustainable supply. This fast-growing hardwood promotes responsible forestry practices, making it an environmentally friendly choice for conscientious consumers.
• Stain Resistance: Acacia wood's inherent resistance to stains is attributed to its dense & tight grain structure, which creates a natural barrier against liquid penetration. This feature minimises the absorption of spills, making it easier to wipe away stains & maintain the wood's pristine appearance.
• Insect Resistance: Acacia wood's inherent hardness & natural oils act as a deterrent to wood-boring insects, such as wood worms and beetles. These characteristics make acacia an unappealing environment for insects to thrive, reducing the risk of infestation and potential damage.
• Rectangular Coffee Table: Tailored for rectangular living rooms, these tables boast ample surface area for both practical functionality and stylish displays. Their elongated shape harmonises seamlessly with linear room layouts, adding versatility to your living space.
• Double the Organisation: Two drawers in this coffee table offer ample storage for remotes, magazines, games, or other living room essentials, keeping your tabletop clutter-free and maximising its surface area.

Care Guide

• Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to regularly dust the surface of your acacia wood furniture, preventing the buildup of dirt and debris.
• Spills and Stains: Address spills and stains promptly. Blot up any liquids with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. 
• Cleaning Solution: For occasional deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution (like a few drops of dish soap in warm water). Apply the solution to a damp cloth, wring it out well to avoid excess moisture, and wipe down the table surface. Dry thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.
• Protect from Heat and Moisture: While your acacia coffee table boasts a clear protective lacquer, it's still wise to use coasters for glasses of hot mugs to minimise the risk of heat damage and water rings. This simple practice helps preserve the table's pristine surface for years to come.

Sizing Guide

Distance from Seating: Leave approximately 45-60cm between the coffee table and the seating to ensure an unrestricted flow within the living room and ample space for comfortable movement. 

Measure Your Sofa: Aim for a coffee table that’s roughly two-thirds the length of your sofa for a balanced and proportional look. 

Height: Aim for a coffee table that sits within 5-10cm of your sofa's seat height. This ensures a comfortable reaching distance for items on the table, making it convenient for activities such as grabbing a magazine or setting down a cup.

Factor in Other Furniture: Leave a distance of approximately 75cm between the coffee table and other pieces of furniture, such as TVs or armchairs to prevent a cluttered feel. 

Consider The Shape of Your Living Room:

• For smaller living rooms, round or oval coffee tables will help create a more open and spacious feel. 
• For long & narrow living rooms, a rectangular coffee table will fit perfectly as it elongates the room visually, balancing out the narrowness.
• For large & open living rooms, square or round coffee tables will add visual interest and definition to a large space. Square tables are ideal for creating distinct seating areas, while round tables encourage conversation and open flow.
• For L-Shaped living rooms, round or oval coffee tables help soften the angles of the L-shaped layout and provide easy access from all sides. They also create a more fluid and cohesive look.
