Kolvern Skalavik Wood Coffee Table

A 36 inch square lift-top coffee table with hidden storage, a warm brown distressed wood-grain lid over a distressed black base, on solid wood bun feet.

The overall footprint is 18 inches high by 36 inches wide by 36 inches deep, a full square rather than a rectangle, so it centers evenly in front of a sofa instead of running long down one side.

• Trunk Silhouette

  The square case reads like an old steamer trunk rather than a plain box, with riveted metal brackets at every corner and edge holding the black case together. Turned bun feet lift the whole piece slightly off the floor.

• Two-Tone Finish

  The lid is a warm brown, distressed wood grain that reads worn on purpose, while the case below is painted a rustic black that lets some grain show through the distressing. The contrast keeps a large square piece from reading as one heavy block.

• Assembly

  Assembly is required at home: the bun feet and the metal hardware attach to the case with the Allen wrench included in the box. The lid and storage well arrive already built, so assembly is limited to the base and feet.

• Care

  Dust the wood lid and the black case with a dry or slightly damp cloth, working with the grain on the distressed top. Use a coaster or a trivet under drinks and hot items, and wipe up spills quickly so they do not sit in the worn, open-grain finish.

• Materials And Finish

  The lid is pine veneer over engineered wood, and the case and feet are solid wood, all sealed under the same two-tone finish: warm brown on top, black on the base. Metal bracket accents at the corners are the only non-wood material on the piece.

• Seating Or Clearance

  This is a coffee table, not a bench, so treat the top as a surface rather than a seat, especially with a lift mechanism underneath that is not built to carry standing or sitting weight. Leave 44.25 inches of clearance in front of it so the lid has legroom to swing fully open without hitting a sofa or an ottoman.

• Size In The Room

  The table is a full 36 by 36 inch square, so it centers evenly in front of a sofa instead of running long down one side the way a rectangular table would. With the lid raised it reaches 22.75 inches tall, so check the room has enough height under any shelf or window above it.

• Weight And Use

  At 72 pounds, plan on two people to carry and position the table once it is unboxed, since the weight sits low and is awkward for one person alone. Keep heavy decor off the lid itself, since it needs to lift freely on its spring hinge rather than carry a stack of books.

• What Ships

  The table arrives with the case and lid built, the bun feet and metal hardware included in the box for you to attach, along with an Allen wrench. There is no cushion, no leaf, and nothing sold separately for this piece.
