Here are a couple examples of custom Brooklyn tables I made for a customer. The side table is 20″ x 20″ x 23″ tall and the square coffee table is 32″ x 32″ x 18″ tall. The customer wanted legs instead of caster wheels. I’m really happy with how they came out!
One of my first customers opened their doors a couple weeks ago (story here). Now New Yorkers can see my work in person and get a 5 star dessert at the same place. Most of my pieces have shipped to New York, and since my shop is in Arizona, I hope this helps those in NY with their purchases. So if you are curious about my work, stop by, take a look, and get some dessert. Also, this customer did the stain and finish on the wood themselves which goes well with their maple benches. The benches were not my work, just the 5 cafe tables.
On another note, it seems my website is getting some decent traffic from people searching for vintage/industrial furniture. Last weekend my site reached 10,000 hits.
After looking around on the internet, I couldn’t find any nice industrial style media console tables. So I got an idea from an early 1900s vintage French piece and started a new design. The way the frame is built, it has moulding around the edges with large iron rivets keeping it all together. The lower cabinet can hold audio/video components and the cloverleaf screen door allows your remotes to work with the doors closed. And there is a hole in the back of the cabinet for wiring. The back of the frame is built to hold and hide wiring from the TV down to the AV components. The solid walnut top measures 48″ x 22″ and the piece is 32″ tall. Weight is around 170lbs. The heavy 6″ cast iron wheels make it easy to move around. This would also make a nice console table or credenza. Priced at $1,350
I have 2 new designs in my head. I am currently working a vintage French industrial inspired media console/TV stand table with 6″ casters. It’s based on this vintage buffet from Briggs House Antiques (they are asking $5,000).
The main differences will be the dimensions (48″ x 22″ x 30″ tall), caster wheels and a solid walnut top. I found some really cool cloverleaf design sheet metal for the cabinet fronts. And I went with big rivets instead of bolts for the construction because I like the look better. So far this piece is really heavy. I hope it weighs less than 150lbs for shipping purposes. Here is the piece at about 95% done. Just need to install the casters. This piece is finished now and you can see it here: Link
And the other piece is going to be a rolling shelf or console table similar to Wisteria’s design which is unfortunately no longer made. I heard they had quality issues so they stopped selling it. I just bought some African mahogany and ordered the hardware for this piece. Should look pretty nice once finished. I’ll have one of these made by early February because I LOVE this design.
2/18 It’s done now and you can see some examples here Link
I made this to resemble a tool stand from a mid-century industrial factory. After some research and experimenting , I came up with a new dark stain for this piece and I love it. It has a real vintage look to it with lots of character, and so I named it the “Grandpa Stain”. The riveted iron frame has been distressed to give it a good “been in factory for a while” look. And it has a metal lower shelf which has been riveted in to the frame. It measures 26″ tall x 16″ x 16″.
Just finished this for a customer. It’s lower than usual, 15″ tall x 43″ x 23″. The drawers are extra big and it has larger handmade iron handles.
This French industrial era inspired coffee table offers sleek, architectural lines reminiscent of New York’s famous Brooklyn Bridge. The braces, button head rivets and bolts give this piece a cool, industrial look. The solid wood top and bottom slats were aged to a light grayish color and the ironwork has a flat finish with aged touches here and there.
The Brooklyn Coffee Table works perfectly in any city loft or apartment.

This versatile design can be tailored to suit your style. Mix and match steel and wood finishes, alter the size, create a console table or kitchen island, remove the wheels, add drawers, create a rust, chrome, or polished copper finish – the possibilities are endless. Below are a couple examples of custom Brooklyn tables.
Side table available: 20″ x 20″ x 23″
Square coffee table: 32″ x 32″ x 18″ (prices vary with size)
This dining table measures 5′ x 3.5′ x 30″ tall and is made of iron with a spruce top. The benches measure 44″ x 14″ x 18″ tall and were built for the table. It has a nice shabby industrial look to it with a rust patina sealed with a flat laquer, and grayish brown aged spruce. And it’s all really heavy!
I usually don’t post new furniture until it’s done, but I’m too excited to wait. I got the idea from a heavy duty vintage industrial workbench. I hope to have it finished this week. So far it’s been a lot of work making the 20 braces, drilling 58 holes (44 to go), and cutting 14 pieces of wood. But it’ll all be worth it when I am done. I named it the Brooklyn Coffee Table because it reminds me of the Brooklyn Bridge with all the rivets and braces. When it’s finished it will measure 39″ x 21″ x 18″ tall with 6″ casters.
I’ve been needing a stool for my workshop so I put this together yesterday. It’s 30″ tall and has leveling feet as well as foot rests at two different heights.
Just finished 5 cafe tables for a soon to be famous restaurant in NYC called DessertTruck. They started as a mobile dessert company selling 5 star desserts out of a truck. You may have seen them featured on the Foodnetwork during a Throwdown With Bobby Flay. Now they are trying something different and opening a restaurant on 6 Clinton street.
The tables came out very nice and are 20″ tall, wide, and high. They went with a 1.25″ thick butcher block style top and a natural patina on the steel.

This cut iron will soon be made into cafe tables.
Here is a matching side table I made for a client to go with this French industrial inspired coffee table here. It measures 20″ x 20″ x 26″ tall. Custom finishes and sizes are available. Price $375.
After numerous requests for a smaller version of my 2 drawer coffee table pictured here, I just finished one for a client. It also has iron handles I made instead of the wood pulls on the other table. Dimensions are 38″ x 20″ x 18″ tall and I can make them for $545 in this size if you are interested. There is also a matching end table.
Inspired from the French industrial era (circa 1940s), this table is constructed entirely of iron and is riveted together for a rugged industrial / retro look. It looks vintage but not beat up. The top measures 20″ x 18″ and it is 26″ tall making it ideal to use as a side table or an accent table. Priced at $325, contact us at 602-322-1111 for more information.
After making the previous French industrial era inspired table, I decided to make a smaller version without the drawers. It’s more at home in tighter living spaces like apartments and lofts. The frame is made of iron and the wood planks are aged to a nice gray and light brown patina. The caster wheels make it easy to move around rooms and also lock. Dimensions are 38″ x 20″ x 18″ tall. Price $395, call 602-322-1111
This table helped inspire this new design, the Brooklyn Coffee Table.
