Just Fine Tables loves to move around the house in our offerings, such as.. Kitchen Islands, Custom Farm Tables, Wine Bar – Buffet Tables, Side – End Tables, Coffee Tables, and the like (bedroom furniture). …AND on occasion we will move outside with an outdoor dining table, a cocktail / coffee table with a chair or two.

Regardless, To Know What We Are Doing, You’ll just have to keep checking back here from time to time to see what we are doing for folks in the Greater Birmingham area furniture market… Or…You Might want to Go Visit Our Friend’s Consignment Store, Encore Resales Consignment and Furniture Store in Pelham where a number of Our Items are On Display plus lots of others.

Later. Got to complete a Hall Bench, a Bed Headboard & Foot board, and if time permitting a couple of Wine Bar-Buffet Tables before we trip out to Tennessee and Texas to visit family and friends.

A reprint from our Just Fine Tables blog (December 26, 2011)

Custom COFFEE TABLE with Matching END / SIDE TABLES (…ALL with Lower Shelves) were delivered to their new owner just before Christmas for them to enjoy over the Holidays and forward. The new custom built coffee table and matching side tables were ordered to replace an old existing ensemble of the same.

The Coffee Table and End / Side Tables are displayed below before being moved upstairs in their new home:

Custom MAPLE TOP Coffee Table with Matching End / Side Tables & with Lower Shelves

The tables were all built ’sight unseen’ based upon the customer’s desires and best thoughts for what the lady customer wanted. She knew the basic dimensions of what she wanted and that she wanted the tables to all have lower shelves for baskets and the like. However, she was undecided on what type wood top and stain color she wanted in the tables. In response to that question, we at Just Fine Tables offered her a selection by looking over past custom built farm tables. We asked that she look over some examples of past work to help in making a selection. She did! …and selected the Maple Top as the best example of what she wanted.

We at Just Fine Tables will check back with the customer after we return from a much needed vacation with our Texas based Children and Grandson to get the final determination if the Coffee Table and End / Side Tables met with her satisfaction. We think they will as her husband said that the new tables looked a lot better than their current ones.

Note: If we find that the tables are not what the customer wanted, we at Just Fine Tables will buy them back as we always want our customers happy with our work.

A modified reprint from Just Fine Tables.com

Just Fine Tables (now located in Calera, AL) delivered a Customer Designed Wine Bar – Buffet Table and a Customer Sized Coffee Table with Lower Shelf this past week to their new owners to enjoy over the holidays and for years to come. Both items were built from scratch. Yes, they are virgin “Made-in-America” tables built by Just Fine Tables.

For the Wine Bar-Buffet Table, the customer requested an additional shelf for added wine bottle storage. The idea was to have extra storage at the bottom of the wine bar and that the typical upper shelf would provide immediate and easy access to current wine serving with an expanded area on the shelf for hors d’oeuvres, cheese, and the like. The Wine Bar-Buffet Table is pictured below in its new home:

Dark Stained Maple Top Wine Bar with Dual Wine Storage Shelves

For the Coffee Table with Lower Shelf, the customer requested that the table have a Rustic Looking Top (i.e. used & beat up) sized approximately 2′ x 4′ and that it have a Lower Shelf for some decorative and useful baskets. Note: This coffee table is the first one built by Just Fine Tables to have a lower shelf. The Custom Coffee Table is pictured below in its new home:

2' x 4' Coffee Table with Lower Shelf

It is truly fun helping customers to see their wishes completed and that they can continue to enjoy their wishes for years to come. Luckily, we at Just Fine Tables have more fun items to complete (3 table set [sides & coffee] with lower shelves , a bookcase, a bed’s headboard & foot board, and a “Step-up-to-be-Tall” Stool for our Grandson who will turn 1 year old Christmas Eve) over the next week.

Have Wished Everyone a Merry Christmas & a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year!

MAN CAVE Solid OAK Coffee Table

We had an outstanding response to our offering that we described as a MAN CAVE Coffee Table (which it really was…when you see it below). The Man Cave Coffee Table was Solid Oak and really tough. Absolutely great for a College Dude or the like.

"MAN CAVE" Coffee Table

The Man Cave Table SOLD very soon after it was delivered to Encore Resales. A nice lady purchased it for her college-bound son. (p.s. The party stuff was not shown in the original table ad.)

Custom Stained Wood Top Side / End Table on Metal Base
With the coffee table away from our shop, we moved to help our partner, J’s-”AVE”, upgrade a side table. We removed the old top and constructed one of our custom wood tops on the table’s metal base and VIOLA’, this is what we got:

Custom Stained Top Side / End Table on Metal Base

Open Side of Custom Stained Top Side-End Table w / Storage

You might note that this was originally one piece of a ‘nested table’ unit. Since we only had the one table, we viewed this table as being multi-purposed depending on what the user wants. The pictures show the table viewed from either side. You will note that one way, it is closed and the other way, it is open (i.e. the basket) where you could put a smaller table, a basket as shown, or say a magazine rack.

The Side-End table is available to you at Encore Resales, Pelham, AL.
…unless it has sold already.
