The Amish House Artesa Coffee Table

The tempered glass top is designed to rest securely within the frame, typically held in place by discreet bumpers or recessed channels. This allows for easy cleaning and maintenance while ensuring the glass remains stable during daily use.

While all options are solid hardwoods, species like Quartersawn White Oak and Hickory are exceptionally dense and resistant to dents. Softer woods like Brown Maple offer a smoother grain pattern that takes stains very evenly, though they may show wear more easily in high-traffic households.

Because the shelf is constructed from solid wood and integrated into the frame, it is quite sturdy and capable of supporting standard coffee table items like books, magazines, and decorative baskets. We recommend avoiding heavy items exceeding 30-40 pounds to maintain the structural integrity of the shelf over time.

For the glass, use a standard streak-free glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth. For the solid wood base, simply dust with a soft, dry cloth and use a mild wood-safe cleaner occasionally; avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the finish.

Since this table is handcrafted from natural solid wood, every piece will feature unique grain patterns, knots, and color variations. These natural characteristics are part of the beauty of authentic Amish craftsmanship and ensure that no two tables are identical.
