The Lewis leg is a square U shaped leg with the flat part on the floor.
What is it?
The lewis leg is a square U shaped leg with the flat part on the floor. For consistency of look and strength, It is made from wood that is the same thickness as the top. The type of wood and the finish will be the same as the table top. It comes with adjustable feet to help level the table.
Can I customize it?
Yes - you can customize the height and width of the legs to suit your table.
How does it work with seating?
The nature of the lewis leg design means that the person on the end should be able to stretch their legs through it. We typically inset the legs about 14” from the end. If you prefer that they’re placed differently, we can definitely do that. On the sides of the table, there are two verticals that may make it difficult to tuck chairs all the way in right at those spots. Similarly, if someone needs to sit right where these verticals are, they will need to adjust accordingly.

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.

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.
