In recent years, resin tables have taken the world of furniture design by storm — merging the raw beauty of natural wood with the bold, glossy aesthetics of epoxy resin. Whether it’s a statement resin coffee table for your living room, a custom resin dining table for family gatherings, or a handcrafted epoxy stool for your kitchen or studio, these pieces redefine luxury and craftsmanship.
In this in-depth guide, we’ll explore everything from material selection and styling options to product care. We’ll also spotlight the stunning Epoxy Resin Stools by Neo Woodcrafts, a brand known for bespoke, artisan-grade wood and resin furniture.
🌳 What is a Resin Table?
A resin dining table is a piece of furniture that combines natural wood with epoxy resin — a durable, glossy polymer that can be clear or colored. The resin is poured into or around the wood to create a solid, artful structure that preserves the natural imperfections, grains, and even voids of the wood.
Types of Resin Tables:
- Resin Coffee Table: Perfect for modern or rustic living rooms.
- Resin Dining Table: A stunning centrepiece for your dining space.
- Resin Console Tables: Sleek hallway or foyer additions.
- Resin Side Tables: Compact and stylish, ideal for bedrooms or lounge areas.
🍽️ Resin Dining Tables: Style Meets Functionality
Resin dining tables are more than furniture — they’re conversation starters. Combining live-edge wood slabs with vivid epoxy rivers or inlays, these tables are both functional and artistic.
Features:
- Seating capacity: 4 to 12 depending on size
- Finish options: Matte, semi-gloss, high-gloss
- Epoxy colors: Clear, black, blue, metallic, or even glow-in-the-dark
- Custom shapes: Rectangular, oval, round, or freeform
Ideal For:
- Modern loft-style apartments
- Rustic country homes
- Office boardrooms

Neo Woodcrafts offers fully customizable resin dining tables with options to choose your slab, resin color, leg design, and dimensions — ensuring each piece is unique.
☕ Resin Coffee Tables: Small Scale, Big Impact
Looking to add character to your living room? A resin coffee table is a compact showpiece that adds depth and personality to your décor.
Popular Styles:
- River Tables: Epoxy “rivers” flowing between live-edge slabs
- Geode Tables: Crystals and pigments embedded in resin
- Minimalist Resin Slabs: Straight-edged modern designs with bold resin inlay
Pro Tip:
If you’re working with smaller spaces, choose a round or oval resin coffee table with open metal legs to create a sense of visual lightness.
🔪 Epoxy Resin Chopping Boards: Functional Art
While tables are the heroes of your furniture setup, smaller items like epoxy resin chopping boards bring the same artisanal aesthetic to your kitchen.
Benefits:
- Food-safe epoxy finishes
- Durable and scratch-resistant
- Easy to clean and sanitize
- Doubles as charcuterie or serving board
Neo Woodcrafts offers hand-poured chopping boards in maple, walnut, or olive wood with vibrant resin accents — great as gifts or everyday essentials.
🪵 Choosing the Right Wood for Resin Furniture
The wood for resin work is just as important as the resin itself. At Neo Woodcrafts, premium hardwoods are carefully selected for their grain patterns, durability, and sustainability.
Best Woods for Resin Tables:
Wood Type
Characteristics
Walnut
Rich tones, elegant grain
Maple
Light color, smooth texture
Oak

Stabilizing the wood before resin work ensures there’s no warping, cracking, or moisture-related issues over time.
