Kidney Bean Coffee Table | XXL Version | Walnut

 

The XXL Mid-Century Kidney Bean Coffee Table

If you have a truly massive room that requires an uncompromising center statement piece, this XXL kidney bean coffee table is the absolute largest model I build. I designed this piece specifically to command presence in expansive architectural spaces, deep custom sectionals, and grand living room layouts.

Because of its enormous scale, this table acts as a structural anchor for your room, offering a vast surface area to display the full, uninterrupted beauty of the walnut grain.

Choose Your Material: Plywood or Solid Hardwood

I offer this coffee table in two distinct, high-grade material styles depending on the aesthetic of your collection. Both options feature quality walnut with absolutely no stains, dyes, or synthetic plastic glossy clear-coats to chip, scratch, or cloud over time. Because wood is a natural product, your custom piece will feature its own unique, beautiful grain signature.

1. Architectural Walnut Plywood

Constructed from high-grade, architectural-quality walnut veneer plywood. With this option, I intentionally leave the layered plywood edge entirely exposed. Charles and Ray Eames famously championed honest materials, turning structural plywood edges into an iconic design feature rather than something to hide. It is a raw, authentic tribute to mid-century industrial design.

2. Solid Walnut Hardwood

This version is built entirely from quality solid walnut hardwood. Because it is solid wood, the natural grain runs continuously over the top and down through the steep edge bevel. It is a traditional build meant for those who want the clean look of solid hardwood, with the added benefit that solid hardwood stands up to daily abuse a little better and can usually be sanded down and refinished should something awful happen to it years down the road.

Crafted by Hand, One at a Time

• The Beveled Edge: The underside features a thin straight section at the very top edge before angling sharply away from the top, giving the massive coffee table surface a light, floating appearance.
• The Tapered Legs: Supported by three solid walnut legs, turned by hand in my shop, and splayed out at a classic mid-century angle using quality mounting hardware. The legs come with mounting bolts pre-installed, so assembly is effortless: you simply screw the legs into the brackets until they sit tight and flush against the mounting plate.
• The 5-Coat Finish: I meticulously hand-apply five separate coats of quality oil and wax. It is a time-consuming process, but it yields a tactile matte sheen. It is not plasticky or dull—it simply lets the natural, rich glow of the walnut breathe. Every table includes a straightforward care guide (no harsh chemicals or spray furniture polish—just a damp cloth and water).

Made to Order For You (Local Pickup Only)

Every single piece is built from scratch by me in my workshop. Because this is an authentic, handmade process, your table will take 5 to 6 weeks to craft (though it could be sooner if I am currently running a batch—feel free to message me for a real-time schedule update).

When it is finished, it will be stamped, signed, and numbered on the underside as a true registry of its craftsmanship. Please message me prior to purchasing to coordinate your local pickup details.
