Knotty Alder Face Grain Wood Tabletops
Our Knotty Alder face grain tabletops bring an inviting, relaxed warmth to any space. Known for its soft grain patterns, light golden-brown color, and naturally occurring knots, Knotty Alder delivers a rustic, approachable look that feels comfortable and lived-in without sacrificing hardwood strength.
Each tabletop is handcrafted to your exact dimensions in our New York workshop. The face grain layout highlights Alder’s natural character—subtle grain movement, knot variations, and warm earthy undertones—creating a surface with personality and charm. This makes it a perfect choice for farmhouse-inspired interiors, cottage and coastal spaces, casual dining rooms, cafés, and commercial environments looking for a friendly, organic hardwood presence.
Lightweight in appearance but solid in construction, a Knotty Alder tabletop brings timeless rustic beauty and natural authenticity to any home or business setting.
Usage
Our hardwood tabletops are built for a wide range of residential and commercial applications, including dining tables, office desks, conference tables, kitchen islands, and retail or hospitality spaces.
For restaurant and café installations, visit our Restaurant Tabletops page to learn more about commercial-grade builds and bulk ordering.
Finish, Care & Maintenance
Our tabletops are sealed with a premium, 100% VOC-free hardwax oil engineered for commercial-grade durability.
The finish is highly resistant to spills, stains, moisture, and everyday chemicals, making it ideal for restaurants, cafés, offices, and busy homes. It provides a natural matte sheen that enhances the wood grain while protecting it for long-term use.
Cleaning is simple — wipe with a mild soap-and-water solution or a gentle all-purpose cleaner. While the finish can handle regular commercial cleaning products, we recommend avoiding extremely harsh or abrasive chemicals to preserve the natural look of the wood.
If you prefer a wood-safe solution, we offer an approved cleaner here: Hardwood Surface Cleaner.
View available finish options on our Color Swatches page.
Lead Times
Each tabletop is handcrafted to order, with typical production times of 1–3 weeks, depending on size, species, and finish. If you have a project deadline or need expedited scheduling, please reach out through our Contact page.
Shipping & Delivery
We ship tabletops nationwide. Smaller pieces ship parcel, while larger dining or conference tops ship via freight.
Every tabletop is professionally packaged and secured for safe transport. You’ll receive tracking details once your order has shipped.
C-Channel Reinforcement
For wider or longer tabletops, optional steel C-channel reinforcement can be added to the underside for increased stability and long-term flatness.
This upgrade is recommended for commercial installations or extra-large builds. Learn more about how C-channels work on our C-Channel Reinforcement page.
