The Drift Tree Trunk Side Table is an organic-modern side table, hand-cut from a solid trunk of rough-cut maple by the makers at Bertu Home in the heart of Ohio. Use a single stump as a modern side table, nightstand, or stool, or group several as a sculptural coffee table — each hand sawed, sanded, and finished with a durable commercial-grade finish that honors the unique markings of the wood. Made to order, and no two pieces are exactly alike.
Please note: these are prone to cracking — that is the character of solid wood. Cracks can be as wide as 1/2" due to the drying process; the idea is that most cracking happens before the piece is sprayed, shipped, and in its new home. Sizes and markings vary slightly from stump to stump.
Why buy Bertu Home stumps?
Kiln dried. Our stumps all go through a drying process in our kiln, sometimes for up to a month, brought to a specific moisture level. This helps with major cracking, long-term moisture issues, and bugs.
Eco friendly. To replenish the trees we use, we plant 50+ trees a year and practice salvage logging. Some trees fall naturally; some are damaged by wind, lightning, flood, disease, or other disturbance and must be removed; others are cut because people want them off their land. Salvage logging may reduce erosion, reduce the intensity of future wildfires, and slow the buildup of pest insects.
Family owned. These are made from our family to yours. We hand cut, de-bark, sand, and finish every piece with care. See how we do it here.
Commercial grade. These stumps are meant to be loved and used. Each is finished with a durable commercial-grade finish tough enough for spills, kids, and hotel and hospitality settings.
"I love natural elements. I'm inspired by them and I love being surrounded by them. I also love modern furniture and accessories. When thinking of new products a few years back, I wanted to do a modern twist on something considered rustic. Thus the whitewash stump table was born! It's important to our family to not only design and manufacture beautiful things, but to provide the best quality and experience. There is a lot of love that goes into each stump, as we hand pick and finish each one per order. Add a little piece of nature to your home in a modern way!" -- Gretta Jones // Bertu Home
Important information about our stumps
1. Please unpack your stump immediately and leave it out of any packaging. These are real pieces of wood and need to breathe!
2. For outdoor stumps: though these are kiln dried and can be used outdoors, humidity in different climates can affect the top finish, most often in direct sunlight. We do our best, but we cannot control climate, and solid wood and the elements are unpredictable. The great thing about these logs is you can always sand them down and refinish.
3. Wood naturally moves. These are solid pieces and are prone to cracking. You may get more or bigger cracks in the first few weeks as the wood acclimates to its new home and climate.
4. These stump tables have nylon glides (feet) underneath to make them easier to move (they are heavy!) and to allow airflow to the wood. Airflow is most effective on hard flooring; on rugs or carpet, check the underside periodically.
5. We are not liable for any damages to property or people. If you have any concerns or questions, please write or call. We are always available, honest, and transparent about our products.
