“The live edge is the tree's last signature. I make sure it is always the first thing you see.”
Tuan Tran is the workshop’s live edge specialist - the man responsible for shaping the edges on almost every floating shelf that leaves Ashdeco.
He’s the kind of craftsman who can apparently tell the difference between Burmese teak and Indonesian teak just from the smell while cutting it. Nobody in the shop is entirely sure how that’s even possible, and honestly, nobody wants to argue with him about it either.
Mostly because Tuan Tran is almost always right.
What everyone does understand is this: when a piece comes through his hands, the live edge never feels decorative or forced. It feels natural, like the tree itself decided where the final line should be.

First impressions are defined at the threshold of a home. This Handcrafted Live Edge Console Table is not just a utility surface for your keys and mail; it is a bold, sculptural statement of nature’s raw elegance. Crafted from a massive, singular slab of solid wood, this piece brings the untamed beauty of the forest into the refined environment of your modern interior.
The Soul of a Single Slab
What defines a piece of furniture as "functional art"? It begins with the material. We use high-quality solid wood to ensure that every table possesses a grounded, heavy presence that mass-produced alternatives simply cannot match. When you run your hand across the surface, you feel the "honesty" of the wood-the warmth of the grain, the story told by every natural knot, and the intricate color shifts that occur across a single piece of timber.
Our artisans treat the wood with a deep respect for its history, opting for a finish that enhances the organic texture rather than masking it. This is real wood in its most authentic form, providing a reliable and durable platform for your most cherished decor.
Why Choose Our Live Edge Console?
In a world of factory-molded furniture and thin veneers, this console stands apart through its dramatic live edge. We deliberately preserve the natural silhouette and rugged bark-line of the tree. This creates a stunning visual tension between the wild, unpredictable contours of the wood and the clean, industrial lines of the hand-welded metal legs.
Unique Identity: Because the wood decides the shape, no hai tables are ever identical. Your entryway will feature a one-of-a-kind silhouette.
Masterful Contrast: The thick-cut slab offers a monumental feel, balanced by a minimalist base that allows the wood to "breathe" in your space.
Artisan Finish: Every edge is carefully refined to be smooth to the touch while maintaining its wild, "unrefined" aesthetic.
Versatile Placement & Intentional Design
Designed with a slim profile, this table anchors various spaces without obstructing movement:
The Entryway: Create a welcoming focal point that greets guests with the scent and sight of natural timber.
The Sofa Table: Place it behind a floating sofa to bridge the gap between seating areas, perfect for lamps, candles, or your morning coffee.
The Hallway Gallery: Transform a simple corridor into a sophisticated display area for artisanal vases or family heirlooms.
Your Vision, Bespoke Dimensions
We understand that every home has a unique architectural rhythm. This product is fully customizable to fit your specific needs.
Custom Size: Whether you need a compact 4-foot accent or a grand 8-foot statement piece, we can source the perfect slab for your project.
Thickness Options: Our standard slabs are approximately 2 inches thick for a substantial, "heavy" look. However, we can accommodate requests for even bolder, thicker profiles or sleeker, thinner cuts. Please note that custom thickness adjustments or significant scale increases will incur an additional fee.
Because this is a solid wood product, it remains a "living" material. Please embrace the natural "imperfections" that come with authenticity. You may notice minor knots, unique grain swirls, or small seasoning checks (tiny cracks) that occur as the wood adapts to the humidity of your home. These are not defects; they are the fingerprints of nature. To maintain the integrity of the slab, avoid placing it in direct, harsh sunlight or near extreme heat sources.
Furniture Placement
Position your furniture away from direct sunlight, or use blinds or curtains to reduce sun exposure.
Always set your furniture on a level surface to preserve its balance and structure.
Cleaning & Upkeep
Regularly wipe down your furniture with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth.
Avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia, as these can ruin the finish and damage the wood.
Weight Capacity & Use
Respect the recommended weight limit for each piece to ensure its durability.
When moving furniture, lift it instead of dragging or pushing to prevent surface scratches or joint damage.
Preventing Mold & Mildew
Quickly wipe up any spills to stop moisture from penetrating the wood.
In areas with high humidity, use a dehumidifier to maintain an ideal moisture balance.
Shipping Cost
We offer free shipping on all orders.
Return Policy
You can return your item within 30 days of the delivery date.

Please Note: Returns are only accepted for items with manufacturer defects or those damaged during shipping.
Craftsmanship vs factory
What separates handcrafted from factory-made
Both are solid wood. Both look beautiful in catalog photos. But the difference shows up when you live with the piece for 10 years and again when you pass it down.

Soul of wood
No two tables are ever the same
Every plank carries its own grain, color, and knots. These aren't flaws - they are time's signature, the fingerprint of a tree that lived for decades. When you touch a Ashdeco table, you're touching the years it stood through.

Everything you need to know about our pieces, commissions, and care.
How long does shipping take?
In Vietnam: 3-5 days. International: 10-14 days. Larger pieces (tables, cabinets) may take longer due to custom crating. All shipments include tracking and insurance.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide. Shipping is calculated by weight + dimensions at checkout. You'll see the exact quote before paying.
How long does a commission take?
4-8 weeks depending on complexity. A 6-seater dining table takes ~6 weeks, a console cabinet ~4 weeks, a large sideboard ~8 weeks.
50% deposit is required when you confirm sketches. The remaining 50% is due when the piece is finished, before shipping. Full refund within 48 hours of deposit if you change your mind.
How do I take care of my wood piece?
Wipe with a damp cloth — no chemicals. Apply wood oil 1-2 times per year (we include a starter bottle). Avoid direct sunlight and big humidity changes.
What if my piece develops cracks?
Wood expands and contracts with humidity — minor cracks are natural and part of the material. Major cracks within the first year: we fix free. After 1 year, we charge labor only.
Can I return a piece?
Ready-made pieces: 30-day returns (must arrive intact). Commissions: final sale (since they're custom-made for you). If anything arrives damaged, we'll repair or replace at no cost.
