Vilas Coffee Table

A round coffee table in solid cherry with four turned legs that pass through the top as exposed round tenons.

Solid cherry
A round solid-cherry coffee table seen from directly above on a wood floor, four small round leg tenons showing through the surface near the edge.

The Vilas Coffee Table is a round low table in solid cherry, standing on four turned legs. Each leg runs straight through the top and is capped flush at the surface, so the joinery reads as four small circles set just inside the edge — structure left visible rather than hidden underneath.

The top is a single warm cherry field, its grain and soft figure running edge to edge. The legs are turned to a clean cylinder, tapering slightly toward the floor, and the whole piece is kept low and quiet — no apron detailing to distract from the top and the exposed tenons.

Built by hand in our Madison shop. Every leg is fit and seated individually, and the through-tenons are trimmed flush one at a time.
