These unique coffee tables are designed after antique grape crates once used in the vineyards of Europe. These original crates were loaded side by side on special, narrow, horse-drawn carts that traveled slowly between the rows of vines to the grape press. The original design of the crate was opened at the top for easy unloading of the grapes into the press. We redesigned the top with half split opening doors to make a storage room out of the table. You can use them as a storage chest. Our vineyard coffee tables are handcrafted from recycled genuine French oak wood wine barrels. The premium oak wood is harvested from the one hundred years old French oak tree by hand splitting them to get the straight grain and knot-free lumber that are regulated for winemaking. The natural wine tone is the result of using the interior side of the barrel staves that are soaked in wine. All wood has been hand cleaned, planed, and kiln-dried.
