At Elsie Green, our reclaimed wood coffee tables are rooted in the same philosophy as our farm tables: timeless design, honest materials, and pieces meant to be lived with.

While the coffee table as we know it became popular in the early twentieth century, the spirit behind it is much older. In European homes, low tables were often placed near seating areas to hold books, candles, and shared drinks. They were practical, unfussy, and built to last. Over time, these everyday pieces developed the patina and character that only years of use can create.

We carry that tradition forward by crafting our reclaimed wood coffee tables by hand in Southern California using salvaged wood from barns, warehouses, and old buildings across the western United States. Every plank tells a story through its knots, grain patterns, nail marks, and subtle variations in tone.

We choose reclaimed wood not only for its beauty, but for its history and sustainability. By giving existing materials a second life, we create coffee tables that feel collected and storied from the very beginning.

The result is a piece that anchors your living space with warmth and authenticity. A reclaimed wood coffee table is not meant to be precious. It is meant to hold your morning coffee, your favorite books, and the small everyday moments that make a house feel like home.
