My Staple Summer Cocktail Recipe: Campari & IPA Spritzer
Someone has been looking at my browsing history. I've been drooling over the dylan table for the last two weeks. The West Elm table is a close runner up. Of course I'd love the Chilton table, but my budget just won't stretch that far.
I loved the RH tables but couldn't afford the price tag. Solution? Found a six foot long steel-frame aquarium (yes!) stand. Flipped it on it's side and spray-painted it a flat charcoal grey. Went to local scaffolding company and bought three planks of, um, distressed spruce. Peeled all the gum off :-S and sanded the bejeebers out of them. Cut off manky ends and screwed them to the aquarium stand. Voila!! Total cost - $15 each board, stand $40.
Why shop at big retail establishments when you can get this table from a local woodworker here in Los Angeles? The price is equal or less than these big chains, and it's local and the most of the reclaimed wood is locally sourced as well. The big three reclaimed furniture companies in LA:
Croft House - http://crofthouse.com/
Arbor Exchange - http://arborla.com/
District Millworks - http://districtmillworks.com/
AT needs to set a better example and recommend less cookie cutter options... I agree with JACK213 that great sources can be found locally. In the Bay Area check The Wooden Duck... Every city/town has unique local stores- and the boring ass chains.
My scarred, barnwood table top is on two antique sewing machine bases.
How timely -- I'm proud of the table I had made by a guy from a reclaimed wood company; kind of a collaborative design.

The local options I have found are few and far between and generally much more expensive than what's pictured above. I'd like to try to DIY, but that doesn't always work out. I simply love the metal legs on the Dylan table, but I think it unlikely that I could ever recreate that.
I bought a used one off Craigslist. It was an Ikea birch table that the seller stained to a nice golden-y colour and then attached $5 iron pipes. The feet cost about 25 cents each at a hardware store. I paid $50 for it and everyone thinks it was this really expensive custom table. I've never told anyone to look under the table to see the Ikea sticker still there, stuck permanently due to the stain.
These are beautiful tables. I'm working on a DIY project, affixing iron table legs to a similar type of wood table top I found in a vintage furniture store.
