Bookmatch live edge dining tables are beautiful one of a kind tables.  They are made with two 'sister slabs' (meaning that these slices were side by side on the tree) of wood that are laid up beside each other.  Knots and other imperfections are filled with epoxy. The result is a table that is truly unique and symmetrical with both sides being almost mirror images of each other. Typically bookmatch tables are also live edge tables, which then have a balance and symmetry that is very pleasing to the eye.

Bookmatch tables are typically made of walnut, though they can also be made of ash. Each one is so unique as the beauty of these tables actually comes from the imperfections in the wood. Some have wilder live edges and others have calmer ones. Because of these variances, we often have some tops in stock so you can choose the one you like best or, if we start from scratch, we can have you involved in the selection of the wood. It is also worth noting that because these tables require a more specialized wood selection, we do need a bit more time for production. But you’ll find they’re definitely worth the wait.

We build every table to order so you can have the table that’s perfect for you. We can customize the size, the wood, the finish, the edge and the base so the table fits your style and your needs. Whatever you choose, you can be confident that you will receive a beautiful hardwood table, custom built for you.

At Loewen Design Studios we build stunning high quality hardwood tables. Where we really shine though is in helping people figure out the best dining table for them. We’d love to help you figure out what your perfect table looks like. Reach out to start working with our design team on creating the tables that’s best for you.

Important Notes:

All of our tables are made from solid hardwood. As a natural product, each piece of wood has its own uniqueness.

• Natural wood has variation in the grain. 
• Solid wood will expand and contract in different climates
• Most of our walnut has sap wood, which introduces some variance in color into the wood

For us, these properties make these tables more interesting. If you have any questions, please reach out. 

Our standard shipping process involves us sending your table with a freight carrier for curbside delivery. To send your table with a carrier, we will securely pack it up in several layers of packaging, finishing it off with cardboard. We will pack your tabletop, legs, and extensions (if applicable) in different boxes, arrange for pick up and send you the tracking information. Once your table is in your local depot, the local carrier will reach out to arrange for delivery. In this case, delivery means that your table will be delivered to the end of your driveway. From here you can bring the boxes into your home and assemble the table. Assembly is generally pretty simple and we will supply all hardware and assembly instructions. Most tables can be carried in and assembled by 2 people; larger tables may require some additional hands. These shipments are typically delivered within 7-14 days of when we ship.

We also offer white glove delivery as an option for deliveries to most metro areas of the US. (if you are wondering if white glove delivery is an option in your area, please message us). For this service we blanket wrap your table, legs and extensions and send them to our white glove delivery partner in North Carolina. Again, once the table is in your local depot, you will be able to book your delivery which means that 2 people will bring your table to your home, carry it in, assemble it and remove all the the packaging. Timelines for white glove delivery typically range from 14-28 days depending on the delivery location. Message us for more specific information for your location.

Whichever delivery option you choose, you will receive a table built specifically for you. We will build, finish and pack your table which takes 4-6 weeks. After that we arrange for shipping. If you need your table sooner, we may be able to expedite production or the shipping. In this case, reach out to us and we’re happy to chat about what the options could be.
