by Workshop Detroit
In recent years, modern farmhouse dining tables have become the centerpiece of many homes, blending rustic charm with contemporary elegance.

Our commitment to craftsmanship and the environment shines through in each of our tables, providing customers with furniture that is as durable as it is beautiful.
Let’s take a deeper look at some of our most popular modern farmhouse dining tables and explore what makes them stand out in terms of design, materials, and sustainable values.

The Ambassador Table: A Timeless Favorite
One of our best-selling pieces, the Ambassador Table, perfectly encapsulates the marriage of farmhouse style and function. This modern farmhouse table isn’t just furniture; it’s a story waiting to unfold in your home. Crafted from reclaimed wood, the Ambassador features a stunning 2.75-inch thick solid wood top that commands attention with its bold presence and durability. Each grain, knot, and texture whispers tales of its past, whether sourced from a deconstructed Detroit house or commercial building, giving your dining space a piece of history infused with character.
What truly sets the Ambassador apart is its solid wood legs, which echo the same natural beauty and strength as the tabletop. This seamless design choice not only provides sturdy support but also maintains a cohesive, rustic charm throughout. While many tables combine materials, the solid-wood construction of the Ambassador Table delivers a timeless simplicity that’s both bold and graceful.
Its clean lines and versatile design make it equally at home in traditional or modern interiors. And because no two pieces of reclaimed wood are alike, each Ambassador Table is a unique work of art, ensuring that your table will be a one-of-a-kind centerpiece that draws the eye and sparks conversation for years to come.
The Urban Farmhouse Table: Industrial Elegance Meets Rustic Charm
For those who appreciate the combination of wood and steel, the Urban Farmhouse Table offers a unique take on the classic farmhouse design. Like the Ambassador Table, this model boasts a solid wood top, ensuring that the rustic charm of reclaimed lumber remains at the forefront. However, it introduces an industrial edge with its steel frame.
Underneath the sturdy wood top, a robust steel frame provides additional support and durability. At each end of the table, distinctive steel "X" details add a modern, industrial touch to the overall design. These bold accents make the Urban Farmhouse Table stand out from more traditional farmhouse tables, while still maintaining the warmth and character of reclaimed wood. The juxtaposition of wood and steel gives this table a unique balance between rustic and industrial, making it the perfect addition to homes that embrace both modern and vintage styles.
With its mix of materials, the Urban Farmhouse Table brings both visual interest and longevity to any dining space. The solid wood top provides a warm, inviting surface for family gatherings, while the steel elements offer contemporary flair and enhanced durability.
The Grand Urban Farmhouse Table: Where Grandeur Meets Craftsmanship
For those seeking a bolder, more substantial piece, the Grand Urban Farmhouse Table offers all the beloved elements of the Urban Farmhouse Table but with an added emphasis on grandeur. The key difference lies in its 2.75-inch thick solid wood top, which gives the table a more robust presence and increased durability. The extra thickness amplifies the table's rustic character, providing an even more dramatic surface for family meals and gatherings.
The steel frame and "X" details remain, ensuring the Grand Urban Farmhouse Table retains its industrial edge. This table is ideal for larger dining rooms or open-concept spaces where a substantial table can anchor the room. Like its counterpart, the Grand Urban Farmhouse Table combines the best of both worlds: the warmth of reclaimed wood with the strength of industrial steel.
The Parsons Urban Farmhouse Table: Sleek Simplicity
If you love the look of the Urban Farmhouse Table but prefer a more minimalist design, the Parsons Urban Farmhouse Table might be the perfect fit for your home. This table shares the same solid wood top and steel frame as the Urban Farmhouse Table but omits the steel "X" details at either end. The result is a sleeker, more streamlined design that appeals to those who favor simplicity without sacrificing the quality or durability that Workshop Detroit is known for.
The Parsons Urban Farmhouse Table is versatile in its design, making it a great option for modern or transitional interiors. The absence of the "X" details allows for a cleaner, more understated look while still incorporating the charm of reclaimed wood and the strength of steel. It’s an ideal choice for those who prefer subtle elegance but still want the quality craftsmanship that defines all of our tables.
