If you like the look and feel of genuinely old wood, you should take a look at Irish Coast dining furniture. The pieces in this collection are individually bench-made and hand finished, crafted from reclaimed and recycled solid hardwood, in a way that allows all the wood's character, flaws and all, to shine through. Each piece thus has its own distinctive look and feel. The name Irish Coast comes from the construction method, a jigsaw-style assembly that was popular in 18th-century Ireland. However, in a perfect example of our contemporary global connectedness, Irish Coast furniture is designed in the US for an American company and made in Vietnam. The smaller Irish Coast table measures 55" x 36"; raise and unfold the leaf and you have a 71"-long table.
