This floating top sofa table consists of Cherry with African Mahogany shelf and top. The straight board meeting the top of the curve was the basic element I started from. I then liked the negative space under the table top. Mortise and loose tenon joinery throughout. Finished with Arm-R-Seal.

Very nice build. What are the dimensions? I had a great time building a floating top table in the past and this is giving me the urge to give it another go.

Design question. The straight board meeting the top curve. All one piece or to pieces connected at the midpoint? It doesn’t appear to have a joint line.

The dimensions are 53” W, 15” D, 34” H
The curve and straight boards were cut from the same board and joined back together.

This is gorgeous. Many people have used the floating top and “negative” space similarly for sofa tables, and I really like the style… in fact I have used it myself on projects. But I particularly like how you have used it here, you have achieved an elegance that others have not. I especially like the subtly curved legs and the apron which reminds me of a Krenov piece.

I really like this table!

Great design. The piece looks fluid, original and functional. What more could you ask for? Awesome job.

Where do you by the invisible table struts?

I can’t stop staring at this design. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful work! I am going to have to try one of these – perhaps with a floating bottom shelf as well. You inspire me.
