Heritage Elm Side Table - Natural

Heritage Elm Side Table - Natural | Online8 New Zealand

Timber with a past: this reclaimed elm side table is left natural so around 80 years of history shows in every mark and knot. Reclaimed elm has a heavy, interlocked grain that a dark finish tends to mute — left natural, it is the whole point of the piece. The open slide-under base lets the table tuck under a sofa or bed edge, putting the top over your lap rather than beside you. As each piece is genuinely reclaimed, natural variation is expected and no two tables are alike. Arrives assembled.

Why It Stands Apart

• Reclaimed Timber (~80 years old): Handcrafted from salvaged elm, so no two tables are alike.
• Natural Elm Grain: Heavy, interlocked figure left visible rather than muted under a dark finish.
• Open Slide-Under Base: Tucks beneath a sofa or bed so the top reaches over your lap.
• Arrives Assembled: No build required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How old is the timber?
The elm is around 80 years old and genuinely reclaimed, so natural variation in grain, colour and marks is expected — it is exactly what makes each table unique.

What does an open base mean in practice?
There is clearance beneath the table, so it can slide partway under a sofa or bed frame. The top then sits over you rather than beside you — useful for a laptop, a book or a plate.

Natural or black?
Same table and dimensions. Natural shows the elm grain fully and suits Scandi and coastal rooms; black grounds a lighter space and hides marks better.

How do I care for it?
Dust as needed with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish, and use coasters under wet or hot items.
