Sapperton 60-Inch Dovetail Coffee Table — In Almond

The Arts and Crafts makers who settled around Sapperton thought furniture should show how it was made, and that a good table should be ready for company. This coffee table is built for the company: friends spread along a sectional, a board game laid out, drinks and snacks within reach of everyone. Its broad top runs down into waterfall ends, and the oversized dovetails that join them are a detail worth a closer look.

It is made from reclaimed timber finished with a clear coat, so spills wipe up easily and the surface copes with everyday life. At 60 inches long and just over 40 inches deep it gives everyone on a large sofa or sectional a place to set something down, and at 18.25 inches high it sits at a comfortable reach from the cushions. The smaller coffee table from the same family can stand beside it when you need even more surface.

Pair it with a sectional or a big sofa and set it with a wide tray, a bowl and a few favourite books, leaving open space for plates on a game night. In a family room it is roomy enough for a puzzle and the snacks at once. This listing is for one coffee table.
