About Us — Pexlyape

Handcrafted Natural Solid Wood Tables

Homes feel warmer when things are made with care. At Pexlyape, we focus on a single craft: hand-built solid-wood tables. Our forms are calm and simple, with proportions made for comfort. We let the grain show and make pieces that settle naturally into your space.

Nature & Sustainability

Materials matter. Pexlyape uses responsibly sourced, kiln-dried hardwoods from partners who care about traceability and good forestry. Our finishes are low-VOC and safe for the home. The goal is clear: make tables that look good, feel good, and treat the environment with respect.

Functional Beauty for Everyday Living

Good design should work quietly. Every Pexlyape table welcomes daily life—meals, talks, focused work. Surfaces clean easily, joinery is built for repeat use, and finishes protect while showing character. We want a table that keeps pleasing the eye—and the hand—year after year.

Who We Are

Founded in 2024, Pexlyape is a small studio of designers and makers who love natural materials. From our workshop and showroom at 3600 South St, South Chesterfield, VA 23803, we build and ship directly to customers—keeping pricing fair, quality steady, and communication personal.

What We Make

Pexlyape centers its work on solid-wood tables—dining, coffee, console, side tables, and desks—available ready-to-ship or made-to-order. Each design comes in select sizes and finishes. We also support custom dimensions, edge profiles, stain matching, light carvings or inlays, desk grommets, and matching benches.
Our studio keeps production focused: about 20–40 tables per month depending on complexity. In-stock pieces usually leave in 1–2 business days; custom builds complete in 3–5 weeks.

We build with kiln-dried hardwoods (target 6–8% moisture) from reputable U.S. suppliers. Bases are matching solid wood or powder-coated steel from small U.S. fabricators for strength and clean lines. Finishes are low-VOC oils or durable lacquer for clarity, protection, and easy care.

Construction & Performance

Panels are laid out for stability and reinforced where needed. Typical tops are ~30–38 mm thick depending on size and species. We target flatness within about 1.5 mm per 600 mm and keep machine fits tight. Bases include threaded levelers for uneven floors, and hardware kits are test-fitted for smooth assembly. For everyday residential use, dining tables are engineered to carry a distributed load around 100–150 kg (220–330 lb) without racking.

Our Process — From Raw Wood to Refined Table

Selection: Boards are chosen for moisture balance, straight or expressive grain, and sound structure—with traceable supply.
Shaping: Precision milling and CNC cutting deliver repeatable joinery so legs align and aprons sit square.
Handwork: Edges are eased, profiles refined, and transitions tuned so touch points feel welcoming. Knots are stabilized; underside shaping keeps the table visually light.
Finishing: We sand through the grits, raise and set the grain, then apply oil for a matte, tactile feel or clear lacquer for greater scratch and spill resistance.
Quality Check: We inspect alignment, hardware fit, flatness, finish clarity, and balance. Each table is signed off and logged for future service.

Custom Projects are simple: a short chat to understand the room and use, quick sketches to align on details, and a few email iterations until it feels right. We typically book 4–8 custom slots per month to keep timelines realistic.

Packing & Delivery protect the work end-to-end. Tops and bases are secured with foam and corner guards; hardware and instructions ship in a clearly labeled kit. Most domestic shipments go via UPS, FedEx, or DHL with tracking.

Care & Longevity

Daily care is easy: dust with a soft cloth, wipe spills promptly, and use coasters or trivets for very hot items. Avoid long exposure to direct sun or excess moisture. Refresh oil annually (for oiled pieces) or use a gentle non-silicone polish (for lacquer). With basic care, your Pexlyape table builds a graceful patina and stays strong for years.

How We Work

At Pexlyape, design refines the collection, craftspeople blend traditional joinery with modern tools, quality control checks each detail, and customer support stays with you from first question to after-care. Checkout is SSL-protected (PayPal, Visa, MasterCard). We ship nationwide with tracking and typically reply within 24 business hours. If something isn’t right, contact us—we’ll work toward a repair, replacement, or refund that feels fair and keeps your trust.
