Olive wood furniture occupies a rare space in home design — genuinely handcrafted, sustainably sourced, and marked with a grain so distinctive that no two pieces are ever identical. Whether you're furnishing a hallway, adding a statement side table to a living room, or investing in a functional piece of art that doubles as a chess table, olive wood brings warmth and character that manufactured furniture simply can't replicate. Our Tables collection carries a range of handcrafted olive wood tables for different rooms and purposes. Here we compare three standout pieces.
1. Hallway Table with Metal Frame
£189.00
The Olive Wood Hallway Table with Metal Frame is the most versatile and accessible piece in this comparison — a solid olive wood console table on a black metallic frame, designed for hallways but equally at home in a living room, bedroom, or office. The combination of sustainably sourced solid olive wood and a clean black metal frame gives it a contemporary-rustic character that works across a wide range of interior styles. Finished with a blend of food-safe oils that enhance the natural grain and protect the wood, it's built to last and improve with age. At £189.00, it's the most affordable table in this comparison and the most practical everyday furniture piece — a hallway essential that makes a strong first impression.

The hairpin leg design is a contemporary classic that lets the natural olive wood slab take centre stage, and the combination of organic wood grain with the geometric precision of hairpin legs creates a genuinely striking contrast. Suitable for living rooms, offices, waiting areas, and balconies, it's a piece that works as furniture and as art simultaneously. At £413.99, it's the most premium table in this comparison and the most distinctive — the kind of piece that becomes a talking point in any room.
