Mission Coffee Table

The mission coffee table comes from mission style furniture that dates back to 1895. It’s known as the Arts and Crafts style furniture as termed by Joseph McHugh. McHugh termed it so because of its rustic style and straight line.

If you are looking for the perfect mission style coffee table then read on because we want to help you find the perfect straight line, wood-centric piece that will perfectly fit the character of your décor.

The style of this coffee table is a direct result of a man named John Ruskin who inspired the whole Arts and Crafts movement. It represents a style of furniture produced by craftsmen who are proud of their own handiwork. The entire movement started in both Britain and the United States and still continues on today. The mission style of furniture was originally crafted as a response to the sameness and anti-uniqueness of the industrial revolution. So craftsmen produced unique pieces that were authentic and individual.

The mission coffee table is a beautiful piece of furniture retaining all of the meaning that was intended back in the days of the industrial revolution. They really will add nice lines and a unique artistic touch to any home they are added to.

Even though in today’s world the mission coffee tables are manufactured en mass some of the furniture is still handcrafted. And most of these style of coffee tables are created using environmentally friendly production of wood. When crafting the frames out of wood this reduces the need to waste whole solid wood pieces. The current coffee table with mission style is hand crafted to create the style and the shape of the piece but then modern techniques of staining and painting are used to produce stylish and strong furniture pieces.

Most mission coffee table pieces today are manufactured with woods that are solid birch. They are hand crafted through an environmentally friendly process and most are reasonably priced. You can find the tables made from complete solid wood but those pieces will be much more expensive (sometimes as much as 5 times more expensive).

However if you do your research you can find a high-quality mission table for a very decent price (normally they go for around $300 for a coffee table).

If you seek a hand crafted and unique piece of furniture that can add a real sense of art and style to your room then you cannot do better than a mission coffee table.
