Resin Top Coffee Table Appraisal

Live-Edge Wood Coffee Table with Resin Top

This is a rustic live-edge coffee table, likely crafted from a substantial wood slab, featuring an irregular, organic shape characteristic of 'live edge' furniture where the natural edge of the wood is preserved. The dominant colors include deep reddish-browns of the wood, with significant portions of exposed dark-toned bark or outer wood, possibly enhanced with a dark stain or natural charring. The top surface of the table appears to be covered with a thick, glossy, and clear resin coating, which encapsulates the rough, uneven texture of the wood below, including its natural imperfections and voids. This resin layer gives the table a smooth, reflective, and durable finish. Visible details include areas where the resin has dripped down the sides of the table, hardening into white, stalactite-like formations, indicating either a recent application or an issue with the curing process or method of application. The legs, partially visible, appear sturdy and are also made of wood, likely in a similar rustic style, possibly branches or irregularly shaped wood pieces. The table exhibits a robust, natural aesthetic, emphasizing the raw beauty of the wood. The craftsmanship appears to be a blend of natural materials and modern finishing techniques. The resin drips suggest a homemade or less professional application, which could impact its perceived quality and value. Given the modern use of live-edge wood and resin, it is likely a contemporary piece, possibly from the late 20th or early 21st century. The overall condition suggests a well-used item, with the visible resin drips being a notable condition issue.
