The Chablis, Thick Top Tavern Trestle Table (Trade)

$4,225.00
| /

The Chablis runs on the same pegged tavern trestle as its siblings, two angled sawhorse ends joined by a full stretcher rail underneath, but its proportions set it apart from the rest of the family. The legs run a full five inches thick against a top just two and a half inches deep, an inversion of the usual ratio that gives the base a heavier, more sculptural presence than the top alone would suggest. It's the kind of detail you register with your hand on the wood before your eye catches it.

Every board is reclaimed solid wood, and it carries that history plainly. Expect honest cracks, a few small chips along the edges, and grain that shifts from warm gold to pale silver across the length of the top. We don't sand any of that away, it's the difference between a table with an actual past and one built to imitate it. At eighty-four and a half inches, it sits comfortably alongside our other mid-size tables, roomy enough for a proper dinner without asking for a ten-foot dining room. Set it with a mix of vintage and modern chairs and let the thick, sculptural base do the visual work. Seats six with ease, eight if you're pulling chairs in close.

Q&A

•Why are the legs so much thicker than the top? A: It's a deliberate proportion, not a construction oddity. Five-inch legs under a two-and-a-half-inch top give this table a grounded, sculptural base that reads more substantial than its top thickness alone would suggest, a detail most people notice with a hand on the wood before they clock it visually.
•Is it made the same way as your other trestle tables? A: Yes, the same pegged tavern base: angled sawhorse ends, a full stretcher rail underneath, no metal hardware holding it together. Only the proportions differ from piece to piece.
• How many can it seat comfortably? A: Six with ease, eight if you're using narrower chairs and setting it close for a gathering.
•Is the wood genuinely reclaimed, or new lumber finished to look aged? A: Genuinely reclaimed. The cracks, chips, and shifting grain tone across the top are marks of the wood's life before it reached us, not an applied effect.
•Where does the name Chablis come from? A: Chablis, the wine region in Burgundy known for its cool, mineral character. The grain on this particular top carries a lot of that same silvery streaking, so the name felt fitting.
