Use Exotic Hardwood To Make A Unique Square Coffee Table

Defined Tag: Square Coffee Table.

Many homes contain the standard square coffee table. The term also describes rectangular coffee tables, because a square is a type of rectangle. Most buyers are content to buy the least expensive rectangular coffee table, which is fine. Sometimes a coffee table is just a table. Decorators, however, want every piece of furniture to make a statement, even the lowly coffee table. Wooden coffee tables bring a solid and warm feel to the room, and an exotic hardwood coffee table does that even better.

Teak is a tropical hardwood grown in southeast Asia. This yellowish brown wood is highly weather resistant and often used for boats and outdoor furniture. A coffee table (or any furniture) made from teak is beautiful and durable even without varnish or polyurethane. This is due to the natural oils of the wood. Old growth teak yields a dense termite-resistant wood that creates coffee tables with a solid presence and a warm ambiance.

A rectangular coffee table made from mahogany is a real conversation piece. A mahogany coffee table has a wavy thick grain that is reddish brown. These coffee tables take a polish very well, and naturally darken over time. For this reason, consider a square table in which the mahogany is finished with polyurethane, oil, or other clear coat. Coffee tables made with this wood are very durable. Mahogany is easily worked, resulting in rectangular coffee tables of great detail and beauty.

Many consider redwood furniture to be only for outdoor use. They limit their design choices by doing so. Use a square redwood coffee table to make a bold statement in the middle of your room. It has a distinctive reddish grain, so be sure that the surrounding decor can accommodate this splash of color. In a trendy turnabout, purchase an indoor redwood coffee table for use on your deck or patio.

Coffee tables don't have to be boring. Exotic hardwoods invoke an air of excitement. Tables and other furniture made from these hardwoods bring strong warm tones into the room. They polish well and are extremely durable. Before you buy your next square coffee table, move past the pine and chrome and consider an exotic hardwood instead.
