Figuring out which shipping option is best for you is a combination of where you live, how quickly you need it, and how much you’d like to do yourself. The cost of your table will not be affected by how we get it to you.
If you have a specific situation or you’re not sure what will be best for you, reach out!

Where possible, we like to deliver your table to you ourselves! This reduces the number of handoffs and we can ensure that it is all set up and fits your space the way you imagined. For our own deliveries , we blanket wrap your table along with tables for 15-20 other families and load them into a cube van. To fill the load we do need to coordinate tables for a number of people, which means that we may need 2-6 weeks (depending where you live) after your table is finished in order to complete the load.
Our driver heads out on his route to make the deliveries according to the scheduled appointments we’ve arranged for you. It's important to note that we need to work together to set up these appointments as a typical route will take our driver through New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania and other states so we aren’t able to just delay a delivery for a day or two. We’ll do our best to work with your schedule so we need you to also work with ours! It typically works out well.
When our driver arrives at your home, he may need some help to bring your table pieces inside where he will assemble the table for you. A couple of extra hands will also be needed to flip the table over. He’ll answer any questions you have and then take away the packaging so you are ready to enjoy your new table. We currently offer this service on the East Coast of the US and are working on expanding where we can provide our own delivery.
Delivering to you ourselves is the most personal option and gives us a chance to actually meet you.
If you prefer to have a team deliver your table and set it up for you, you’ll want to see if white glove delivery is available in your area. For a white glove delivery, we blanket wrap your disassembled table to prep it for shipping to our partner’s hub in North Carolina. We send a pallet to them every 2 weeks or so.
Once it arrives in their warehouse, they queue your table up to move through their system to the local depot. The local company will make an appointment with you for a team of 2 people to deliver your table to your home, set it up and take away the packaging. This is the ‘done for you’ option but it can take up to 6 weeks after leaving our shop to get to you.
We can ship your table with a freight carrier like RL Carriers to pretty much any destination in Canada or the United States. When we ship with a freight carrier, we package your table in layers of styrofoam and cardboard and contact the carrier to come pick it up.
It travels through the carrier's system until it arrives in a warehouse that is local to you. They contact you to book a delivery appointment, then deliver it curbside. In all cases, the safest way to ship a table is disassembled, so you will need to bring it into your home and assemble it. It’s typically pretty straightforward, and we provide assembly instructions and hardware.
If speed matters to you, this is one of the quickest ways to get your table to you.

“I couldn't be happier with my custom table and experience with Loewen Design Studios. … Delivery was the perfect finishing touch. The owner's brother delivered and assembled the table in my dining room. It's clear this family business takes real pride in their work. Thank you guys so much!”

“This is a very special, custom built heavy piece of furniture. The color and size was made to order for our exact needs. The white glove service was great; the delivery guys unpacked it, put it together, and took away the trash. It’s the perfect table.”

After getting two damaged tables through Wayfair, we decided it was worth the investment to get a real wood table. I'm so glad we did. This table fits in perfectly with the vintage mid-century chairs we had already purchased, and it looks great in our home.

Not only did they help design the table from scratch for our space, but they carefully constructed and deliver our table from Canada. The quality of the woodwork is impeccable and we would recommend working with Lowen Design Studio to anybody. We are so happy with our purchase!

Walnut is a dark brown hardwood with variation in colour and grain. Its color ranges from a dark brown to a blonde to a reddish brown. It can have straight grain or very complex interesting grain patterns. It’s important to note that when we say “Walnut” at Loewen Design Studios we mean the wood. Sometimes you’ll see others use “Walnut” to mean a color of stain on a different wood. We definitely mean the wood, which has much more exciting variation and richer browns than any walnut stain I’ve seen to date.
Walnut is an excellent wood that people have been using for furniture making for a very long time. There are some really simple reasons for this.
Walnut is one of those unique things that’s both a great material to build with - it’s strong and durable - and it’s beautiful. So often you need to build something strong then make it pretty on top. Walnut does both of those at the same time. It’s the best.
While I love listing the wonderful things about Walnut, it’s also worth mentioning that it isn’t perfect. It is hardwood, but it isn’t the hardest hardwood. It will hold up to a lot but it is more dentable than something like Maple. The nice thing is that it’s a little less dense so it isn’t quite as heavy as some other woods.
Walnut does also have natural color variations. They tell the story of the trees that make up the piece. This is part of what makes Walnut so special. One piece of walnut won’t be exactly like another, so the piece of furniture you get won’t match another exactly. Walnut does always look like walnut, but within a range.
All in all, walnut is excellent, but only if it’s right for what you’re looking for. It certainly isn’t right for everything all the time. But the brown of walnut is very wonderful. It really can’t be duplicated by any stain on another wood. Believe me, I’ve tried.
