This live edge rectangular end table emphasizes dependable structure with a handmade trestle undercarriage. The top shows natural figure along a gently irregular edge while the working surface stays level and smooth for everyday use. A satin‑matte finish protects against routine contact and keeps reflections subdued under lamp light.

Because the trestle spreads load efficiently, the table feels sure‑footed without heavy legs at the corners. That makes it easy to place beside a sofa where reach matters and walk paths are tight. The footprint respects small rooms while offering practical space for a lamp, a notebook, and a glass on a coaster.

Style it with linen or paper‑shade lighting, a compact vase, and a tidy stack of current reads. The profile blends with classic rustic palettes and also tempers more polished rooms that need one natural element. Align the straight back edge with your seating and let the live edge face outward where it can be seen.

Care remains simple: dust, dry after a damp pass, and avoid abrasive tools. Felt pads protect floors and help with seasonal rearranging. Expect subtle variety from board to board—quiet rays, small knots, and tone changes make each piece distinct while the joinery keeps the stance composed through years of use.
