Glass Top Lift-Top Coffee/ Dining Table

$2,995

This custom designed Contemporary American Coffee table is solid 4/4 Sapele (in the mahogany family). The tabletop is made from interior marine grade, quarter-sawn sapele plywood, bordered by sapele lumber. The glass insert is 1/4 inch annealed glass. The interior walls and the drawer boxes are made from the sapele plywood edged in sapele lumber. The "floor" of the table box is 1/2" Baltic birch plywood. The table is 62" long, 32 " wide, and 20" high when closed. The open table height is 271/2". The table top simply lifts to open, legs fold down. Closing is the reverse. The box-construction legs of solid sapele unscrew from the table and fit inside the corner compartments of the table for easy storing, moving, or shipping. Otherwise there is lots of storage inside. The drawers are "push to open." The drop down legs are hinged and snap into the closed position under the table top, and hide in the table when closed. With the drop legs down (optional) the table can support 175 pounds minimum. The finish is Minwax Gunstock stain followed by wet-sanded Watco Danish Oil and Watco Satin Wax. The true color of the table is somewhat darker than these poorly lit photos. Beautiful!

Jonathan Walkey is retired professional furniture maker who now makes selected pieces for discriminating clients. I am a one man studio, specializing in decorative arts and crafts, mid-century, Greene & Green, etc. furniture. my own personal style generally includes contrasting hardwoods with beautiful grains and hand worked inlays. In between commissions I simultaneously work on personal studio furniture projects.

I was raised in Lincoln Massachusetts where my father was the director of the DeCordova Museum of modern art. My mother worked as an expert in fine crafts and furniture . I attended many arts and crafts classes and summer art camps at the Museum. I was trained as a silversmith at age 11 and at age 12 built a 10 foot kayak made of wood and canvas. I was a U.S. Navy trained aviation mechanic and earned my living for 15 years as a master mechanic, working mainly on motorcycles. I am also a former carpenter, criminal appellate attorney, credentialed teacher, professional writer, and painter.

Today I apply my talents and interests to building fine arts and craft furniture. My lifelong continuing education combines training of the mind with training of the hands. What you buy from Jonathan is fine art as well as heirloom quality furniture built to last many lifetimes. These qualities are reflected in the cost of my work, neither of which should ever be compared with that of commercial furniture.
