Our Burled Coffee Tables are symbolic of a tree’s incredible capacity to flourish in harsh conditions. A burl is an abnormality formed from unsprouted bud tissue caused by flood, fire, fungus, insects or even rapid growth. Within the burl lies a very dense wood as well as an astonishing and distinctive grain that is exceedingly rich and full of character. A rare occurrence to people in the woodworking world, coming across a burled tree has been compared to stumbling upon a diamond in the middle of the forest. Usually reserved for thin veneer overlaying less exotic wood, we at Phillips Collection revere this uncommon natural phenomena too much to delegate it to such a fate. The Burled Coffee Tables sport a rustic live edge look, complemented by minimalistic forged iron legs that truly allows the wood to speak for itself.

This piece is crafted from natural solid wood. Color and texture in wood will vary and natural holes and subtle openings add unique character to your piece. Wood "breathes" and it is normal for cracks to present themselves over time. This is not considered a defect.
