Even better, since they’re fairly flexible in between links, you can restyle them often into different configurations: outstretched and long, coiled and compact, or even twisted into a serpentine shape.

Perfect for spaces with transitional style, this wooden piece from Wayfair will spice up your coffee table in seconds. Note that at 27 inches wide, the piece is quite large at its full length, but you can easily coil it up a bit if you’re styling it on a smaller surface.

Reclaimed Wood Chain

This sweet reclaimed wood piece is an excellent find for rustic or farmhouse-influenced spaces, and it’s one of the less expensive chains I found, too. Each chain has slight variations in wood tones, so it’ll add a lot of visual interest to whatever spot you put it in.
