What is a plank top table?
1 Answer
The plank top table is a modern interpretation of the traditional harvest table. Some plank top tables from modern brands feature cosmetic grooves in a solid tabletop that allow them to appear planked. The grooves are superficial, but this feature allows the boards to work together without the threat of gaps materializing. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage plank top tables.
