• Live Edge: The advantage of a live - edge design is its natural and organic look. Each live - edge table is unique, as it preserves the original shape of the tree trunk's edge. It brings a touch of the outdoors into your interior space, creating a rustic and warm atmosphere.

• Straight - Cut Edge: The straight - cut edge offers a clean, modern, and formal look. It is more suitable for a contemporary or minimalist interior style and also easier to match with other furniture pieces in a room, giving a sense of order and precision.

• Resin and Wood with Matte Finish: A matte finish has a soft, non-reflective surface. It provides a more understated and sophisticated look, and is less likely to show fingerprints and smudges. Also, they are often preferred for a more natural and subdued aesthetic.
