I love a chunky wooden coffee table. There’s something very satisfying and warming about them. The rustic wood, flowing grains and heavy set character that really stands out in an interior living space. Solid wood coffee tables are statement pieces of furniture in any living room and there are a great range out there to choose from. But where is best to find them and what should I look for when buying one?

Chunky wood can be very expensive, especially when looking for a hardwood table like oak or walnut. There are however some cheaper alternatives in pine and spruce tables that can also offer that beautiful rustic farmhouse look.

I’ve made a fair few coffee tables in my time and had the most success with solid oak. Oak Is a great material to work with and it just has bags and bags of character. I’d say, if you can afford an oak coffee table then it’s worth it. They will last ten lifetimes and are unbelievably durable. The only thing worth noting is the weight. A solid oak chunky coffee table can weigh in at above 60kg. They can be very difficult to manoeuvre and will take two strong men to get them in place.

Chunky pine coffee tables on the other hand can be much more manageable. They weigh about half of an oak table and can look very nice when stained. They might not be as durable as the oak tables but they do look the part. Chunky, rustic and farmhouse styles all seamlessly roll into one.

There are plenty of different style chunky coffee table to choose from also. Some with shelving, some with metal legs and other that are just purely designed to look great.

I’d like to show you my top 10 favourite chunky rustic coffee tables. But before I do that take a quick look at some of my own best sellers. Unfortunately I don’t make them any more but it might give you some inspiration as to what kind of design you like best.
