Hand-carved Monkey Pod Round Side Table With Glass Top

The Hand-Carved Monkey Pod Round Side Table with Glass Top is a solid wood accent piece measuring 60.00 cm in width, 60.00 cm in depth, and 41.00 cm in height. Weighing 64.00 kg, this table has a substantial mass derived from its dense hardwood construction. The total volume occupied by the packed unit is 0.1700 cubic meters. Designed in an ethnic and carved traditional tropical style, the furniture piece functions primarily as a low side table, a decorative accent piece, or a compact alternative to a standard coffee table.

The primary material used is Suar wood, commonly referred to as monkey pod wood. This timber is recognized for its prominent grain patterns, varying from dark brown to lighter golden hues, and its exceptional density. The cylindrical drum base is carved entirely by hand from a single block or thick sections of this hardwood. Artisans carve an intricate floral pattern across the entire exterior curved surface of the wooden base. This relief carving creates deep recesses and raised botanical motifs that showcase the natural texture and color variation of the monkey pod timber. The manual carving process ensures that no two bases share the exact same chisel marks or grain alignment.

Resting on top of the carved wooden drum is a circular glass panel. This glass top is heavy enough to remain stable through gravity alone, resting directly upon the leveled upper perimeter of the wooden base. The transparent glass provides an unobstructed visual path to the interior upper rim and the detailed carvings below, while creating a smooth, flat horizontal surface usable for placing objects. The combination of organic, rough-hewn carved wood and smooth, reflective glass creates a distinct mixed-material construction.

With a height of 41.00 cm, the table sits low to the ground, aligning with traditional low-profile seating arrangements or lounge settings. The 60.00 cm diameter circular top offers a surface area capable of supporting lamps, books, beverages, or decorative objects. Due to the 64.00 kg weight, the table remains exceptionally stable and stationary once positioned on a floor surface, requiring deliberate effort to move. The base sits flat on the floor, distributing the heavy load evenly across its circular footprint.

Maintenance of the table involves standard care for solid wood and glass furniture. The glass top can be cleaned with standard glass cleaners and a microfiber cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. The carved wooden base benefits from occasional dusting using a soft brush to reach into the recesses of the floral patterns, avoiding excessive moisture to preserve the natural finish of the suar wood. The construction utilizes no synthetic board materials, relying entirely on solid monkey pod timber and thick safety glass to achieve its physical form and durability.
