Dining Table Furniture

Testimonials

"Hello Tamara. We are enjoying the table very much and it immediately became the feature of the store we had hoped for. It is an exquisite combination of striking contemporary design with the warmth, integrity and sentiment of recycled timber."
Leandra Micallef, Ziggurat, Melbourne
"Hi Tamara, thank-you to you and David for the fantastic table, it is absolutely fabulous, love love love it. I can't wait to show Paul when he gets home.
I'm looking forward to our first meal tonight using the table and to many family celebrations on such a wonderful piece of furniture.
Thanks again."
Claire Fisher, Prahran East
"When we came across The Sabine, from The Brown Dog Furniture Company, we knew we'd found it. We had high expectations for our custom made table and bench seats, and the team at Brown Dog didn't disappoint. It's definitely a 'forever piece'. Not only are we delighted with the product, but the service, follow up, care and attention from Tamara and David was exceptional."
Kevin Moreland, Stradbroke Island
"From the moment I saw an image of your Sabine table to the moment it transformed our kitchen, I was delighted by the service, efficiency, level of care, artistry and design savvy of Brown Dog Furniture. What a wonderful contrast to the mass production so readily available across the country. Instead of a faceless product made from imported timbers, designed to disintegrate ready for a new order in a short time, we had David hand deliver the most spectacular reclaimed wood built into a striking table which will be enjoyed by our children's children. Prior to that point, Tamara had patiently offered options and gentle advice that reflected a refreshing understanding of her buyers and product. Many, many thanks. The table has made a very simple room quite striking."
Tosca & Hayden, Airey’s Inlet
"Love the table, beautifully crafted. Turned out exactly as I would have hoped. Thank you very much. Very happy doing business with you and happy to recommend Brown Dog Furniture to anyone. Thanks again."
Brendon Goddard, Brighton
"I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am about the stools. They look amazing and are a perfect fit for our kitchen bench. Thank you so much for all of your assistance. It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with you from start to finish. Your professionalism and attention have been such a breath of fresh air - as you might be able to tell, I’m slightly jaded by dealing with too many businesses who seem to pay no regard to their customers. Brown Dog Furniture is on entirely the other end of that spectrum."
Emma Cornwall, Elsternwick
"It is a stunning table. The wine markings in the French Oak are really spectacular and the leg finish ties in beautifully. It is just what we had envisaged. The movers also did an excellent job and it arrived in perfect condition."
Bruce & Jan Cleland, Adelaide
"Just to let you know the Eyre dining table arrived last week and we are thrilled with the end result. The wine markings along with the minimalist approach to milling, ensures the authenticity of the final product that looks superb. The table also works extremely well with the brushed steel legs and fits in well with our decor. We are more than pleased with the end product that confirms our trust in your workmanship. It will certainly be a talking piece with our family and friends when they join us here in the Margaret River Region. I suspect it will end up with a few more red wine stains over the coming years."
Wayne & Jill McGriskin, Yallingup, Western Australia
"I love my new table thank you and it has been much admired by my friends in recent days. I look forward to hosting many functions in my winter garden at which the table will be the star! I was also very happy with the service I have received from Brown Dog, from my first visit to the showroom to the final delivery and installation. It has been a pleasure to deal with a company who put customer service high on their list of priorities and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who is looking for a similar product. I particularly appreciated the phone calls on delivery day informing me of the delay due to heavy traffic conditions."
Linda Herd, South Yarra
"We are incredibly pleased with our Brown Dog dining table. David was a pleasure to deal with and was more than accommodating in meeting with us and showing us through the various options. We love the unique style of our table and the history behind it. It is a show piece in our home."
Justin Jamieson, North Fitzroy
"I absolutely LOVE the stools - they look fantastic and work perfectly in the space. I took a quick snap of them to send to some friends (attached) which I thought you might like. They really are great, the height is perfect for my bench tops and the seat size along with height of the cross bar make them really comfortable to sit on."
Katie James, East Brunswick
"I am very pleased with the table and the kids love it too. As my indecision on colour and size was evident I was particularly pleased with your versatility, changing both without bother at time of delivery. Thank you."
Simon Hansford, Black Rock
"We have now had our table and bench for two weeks and I have to say that we love them to bits! Breakfast and evening meals are quickly becoming our favourite times of the day and we find ourselves lingering over them like never before. The old world (wood) meets new world (steel) is a truly unique combination and compliments our new apartment to a tee. Also a special thanks for putting up with various oohing and aahing with the colours and being so patient throughout the process. The icing on the cake was to have David personally assemble the table and bench, even with our dog chewing his pencil in the meantime. We owe you one! Thanks again, we will warmly recommend you to friends and family."
Riia Jaakkola & Mark Hudson, Richmond
"We wanted a dining table that was cleverly designed, well made and yet allowed the timber to speak for itself. Brown Dog Furniture’s combination of richly coloured ironbark with satin stainless steel brings out the best in each material, with dimensions that reflect a solid piece of furniture that is here to stay and yet contemporary at the same time. The finish is silky smooth but the signs of the timber’s previous life and natural features have been embraced. Our family and friends will gather around this table for many years to come, quite possibly beyond our lifetimes."
Leeston & Stuart McNab, Adelaide
"This range of tables from Brown Dog display all the qualities of an iconic design, so well thought out with attention to detail very evident. The sleek steel legs show off a contemporary, clean, minimalist feel, combined with a timber top of beautiful imperfections — the perfect balance. Each of the Brown Dog pieces will bring warmth and strong design to any space."
Alexandra Ponting, Interior Designer, AP Design House, 15 Latrobe Tce, Paddington, Brisbane
"After searching high and low for the perfect communal table for our cafe, we came across the Sabine range by Brown Dog Furniture. Having dealt with a few high-end stores, we were surprised and delighted at the personal, attentive and genuine care and service provided by Brown Dog. No job / query was too hard and the ability to customise our table made things very easy! In the end, the final product surpassed expectations and is absolutely stunning — a real statement piece. Thank you!"
Nedim & Majda Rahmanovic, Twenty & Six Café, North Melbourne
"Many people have commented on the table (Sabine side table) at the entrance. Everybody seems to love the shape of those legs."
Tony Owczarek, Collingwood
"We saw the Sabine Side Table in the window of The Brown Dog Furniture Company's North Melbourne store and fell in love with it. Tamara and David were responsive to our enquiries and a pleasure to deal with. The recycled wood and quirky design make this a unique piece. We will treasure it for years to come"
Pauline & David, North Melbourne
"I'm very glad I happened upon your story in the paper or I may never had heard of Brown Dog Furniture. I'd been hunting around for a while so it was such a surprise to see exactly what I'd been looking for right there on the page … even the colour I wanted! The tables are just as I'd hoped and look fantastic in situ with all the lovely colours absorbed from their former life. The flame red legs are great and are my favourites but the charcoal ones are good too. I'm sure we'll have many great times around them. Thanks and all the best for you and the company."
Ksenija Perkich, Bellevue Hill, Sydney
"We are delighted with the table. The table top is stunning with plenty of colour and texture. We had been looking for something unique for quite a while and nothing we saw had excited us. Your design has managed to perfect a balance of classic, rustic and industrial and we look forward to breaking it in with the first of many dinner parties."
Gareth & Rebecca Soden, Brisbane
"We absolutely love the table, and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The materials are unique, and have been put together with great skill and craftsmanship. Thanks again."
Hayden Baker, Redfern
"Stylish, streamlined, highly useable, durable and moveable, - Brown Dog Furniture, we thank you."
J&Y, West Melbourne
"I searched far and wide for a piece of furniture that was both original in its design approach and sustainable. The Sabine side table is made with true craftsmanship, something that is rare these days. It is truly something to admire."
April Simpson, Brisbane
"I really appreciate your concept of recycling historic timbers to create modern furniture, especially the beautiful contrast you have created of old against new. It’s rare in today’s world of offshore manufacture to have finely crafted individual pieces available. The piece I purchased is a lovely addition to my home and comes with such an iconic Australian provenance of the very old reclaimed winery barrels."
Shane Gardiner, Malvern
"Thank you so much for two wonderful pieces of furniture; a desk and a bench seat. The delicate blend of old (recycled timber) and new (colourful metal legs carefully crafted to be functional as well as beautiful) really works in our apartment. Your attention to detail has not gone unnoticed. I expressed an interest in the bench seat on display in North Melbourne, so when you delivered the desk you brought the bench along too so I could see if it worked in the space. And of course, it did. I needed it for a party in less than two weeks time and you managed to work around that obstacle too. The party was a huge success and we managed to seat four people comfortably. Thanks again for spectacular service and a beautiful product. "
Susanna Castello, North Melbourne
"We just happened to see a Brown Dog Furniture in an Age weekend magazine that led us to their website and the Sabine dining table just jumped out at us! It was the attraction of a table top of old wine vat French oak, the striking orange steel legs and the mention of the chocolate Labrador as emblematic of Brown Dog Furniture’s design philosophy that had us thinking it might be the table we had been looking for! This led to a visit to David and Tamara’s show room, an effortless process to choose how the table would look and then the final “unveiling” in our home of the incredibly beautiful and extremely well crafted Sabine dining table. Just can’t help admiring it as we walk past it, eat off it, read at it, gather around it……..Thanks David and Tamara! "
David and Vanessa Jones, Northcote
"I love the table and so does the rest of the family! The table was immediately easy to live with…exactly the right size and the wood grain is beautiful to touch. Thank you so much for really helpful advice about colour combinations. It all works well. I also appreciated David and yourself coming to the house and personally adjusting the table to suit our chairs – great service!"
Glynda Kinsella, Ivanhoe
"We couldn’t be happier with the table. It turned out even better than we had hoped! A wonderful birthday present that will be enjoyed every day for many years to come. Also appreciated your attention to detail and focus on customer service. Little things like offering to change legs after installation really makes a difference – and gave us the confidence to take a punt on the brilliant yellow legs! Thanks again"
Paul and Lia, South Kingsville
"Thank you Tamara and David for delivering the table last week. We are absolutely in love with it. Each time we walk into the room, we make a comment to each other ‘gee that’s such a great table’, ‘I’m so glad we spent the money on that’, ‘look at the colours and texture coming through’ etc. etc. It is beautifully crafted and well made, we thinks it’s just divine. So again, thanks for dropping it off, fitting the legs perfectly for the chairs and for your lovely customer service. It’s been a pleasure dealing with you."
Kristie and Oliver Jarman, Sunshine
"We are absolutely thrilled with the finished piece, it compliments our dining space beautifully, we adore the history and character of the reclaimed timber blended with the modern powder coated legs, we are so glad we went with the French Blue! We just had our house warming and our new table was the centre of the evening, extracting many comments and conversation about the history of the French Oak and design. We are looking forward to having many more lovely evenings around it."
Sherridan and Garry Jones, Mentone
"Thank you Tamara and your team for our beautiful Addis Table! From the moment we saw it we knew it would be perfect for our home. I really appreciated your advice on leg colour and your customer service was amazing! Most of all I love the warm character in the timber, the history of the French Oak, mixed with the funky modern steel legs. Look forward to dealing with Brown Dog furniture again soon! "
Greg Uffelmann, West Footscray
"I'm very grateful for the fabulous service you've offered me - it has been a pleasure dealing with you and others at Brown Dog, and I am singing your praises to my friends.
The table is now heart of the house. I've reupholstered 4 old Parker 60s chairs that go very well with it (more chairs on the way). Getting up in the early morning and seeing the sun shine in on the table top is a real treat - and we've had what now seems like many memorable meals around it. So it has been a celebrated choice, and makes the dining room space special."
Alison Larkins, Canberra
"Words really don't explain how much I love my new table and bench seat. They are beautiful, better than I hoped for actually and all round, from purchase to delivery, it has been a great experience. You guys deserve heaps of praise for your product and your service. "
Stephen Boxshall, St Kilda East
"Our Eyre dining table is fantastic. The colours in the ex-wine vat oak are amazing, the red legs look perfect in our dining room and friends we’ve had over all love it. Thanks again."
Mike and Carrie Stanford, Crows Nest
"Thank you so much for our tables, it is great to see them in our home and admire their beautiful lines. The leg colour is just as we had hoped and the timber is beautiful."
Catherine and Bruce Jenkins, Strathmore
"We are delighted with the table. It is perfect and has been much admired already, so thank you very much for your professional delivery of service and goods. I have been happily recommending your company as it has met all my expectations which were very high. "
Karen Vesey, Elsternwick
"Dear Tamara Thank you very much for your time and advice in helping me select my Eyre Dining Table. The French Oak is stunning and I could not be happier with the finished product. "
Kate Baddock, Seaforth, Sydney
"We love our table! It's really beautiful and some people have asked already where it's from and I’ve passed on your details. The service you provided was spot on. Thanks heaps and we hope to see you some time in Spotswood."
Toula Ploumidis, Candied Bakery, Spotswood
"Thanks so much Tamara, and to David for installing the table today. It looks fabulous and will work wonderfully serving its new job as the "heart" of our home. Thank you for your help in the process, you and David make such beautiful furniture, we feel very privileged to own a piece."
Kate Frencham, Northcote
"Thanks again for such a beautiful product. I am incredibly happy with it. Worth every cent!"
