Thanksgiving in Redmond isn’t just a holiday — it’s a production. You’ve got the turkey roasting, grandma’s stuffing recipe that nobody’s allowed to mess with, mashed potatoes that could double as insulation, and that one cousin who shows up just for the pie. But here’s the real secret to hosting a memorable feast in 2025: a custom dining table from Stedman Design.
Let’s talk about it. Because while everyone else is stressing over green bean casseroles, you could be the one who makes the whole family go, “Whoa… where’d you get this table?”
Your dining table isn’t just a piece of furniture. It’s the stage where Thanksgiving plays out. It’s where the laughs happen, the arguments over cranberry sauce vs. jelly begin, and where folks pass down stories and gravy in equal measure.
Now imagine that table is custom made, built from beautiful live edge or classic hardwood, designed to match your home and your personality. You’re not just serving dinner — you’re serving style, legacy, and comfort.
Look, we’ve all seen those factory-made, cookie-cutter dining tables that come in a cardboard box with 147 screws and a vague instruction booklet written in six languages and illustrated by someone who’s never actually seen a screwdriver.
But a custom dining table? That’s craftsmanship. That’s character. That’s “you had this made for this room” energy. At Stedman Design, every table we make is crafted with intention, artistry, and wood that deserves better than a warehouse shelf.
Let’s break it down…
Whether your home is modern, rustic, or somewhere between “Pacific Northwest Zen” and “tech-meets-timber,” we build dining tables that fit. We’re talking size, style, finish — the whole nine yards.
Want a table big enough to seat your extended family and a couple of neighbors who just wandered in smelling pie? Done. Want a sleek, minimalist design that still holds sentimental weight? Got you covered.
At Stedman Design, we love using repurposed and locally sourced wood whenever we can. Why? Because trees in the Pacific Northwest grow with that same gritty determination you’ve got when you’re trying to deep fry a turkey in the rain.
Using local and reclaimed wood means your table isn’t just new, it’s renewed. Every grain tells a story. And you? You’re adding the next chapter.
You’ve worked hard all year. The kids grew two shoe sizes. You juggled Zoom calls with dinner duty. You deserve a holiday hosting flex — and a custom dining table delivers just that.
Oh yes it is. And you can bet your aunt’s sweet potato casserole people will notice. Whether it’s a warm walnut slab with a natural live edge or a stunning maple piece with handcrafted legs, it becomes an immediate conversation starter.
Suddenly, people care less about the turkey and more about where the table came from. You might even catch folks casually stroking the wood grain like it’s a therapy session. That’s impact.
Your Thanksgiving table should last longer than your leftovers — and way longer than that store-bought folding chair you duct-taped last year.
We build dining tables meant to survive:
Kids climbing under them.
Friends dancing near them.
Pets sleeping on them.
Too many pies sitting on them.
This isn’t fast furniture. This is future heirloom furniture.
Here’s the deal: you’re not ordering a table from a catalog. You’re collaborating. When you work with Stedman Design, we’ll walk you through the process — from selecting the wood species and dimensions to choosing the finish that fits your aesthetic.
Got a favorite stain? A Pinterest board? A drawing on a napkin? We’re here for it.
You’ll get regular updates, progress photos, and a say every step of the way. This is your table. We’re just the artists helping bring it to life.
This year, instead of hiding that rickety old table under a tablecloth and pretending it's “vintage,” let’s upgrade. Let’s build something beautiful, strong, and unforgettable.
Let your dining table set the tone for the holiday. Let it say: “We don’t just gather. We celebrate.”
And when someone says, “This is the nicest table I’ve ever eaten on,” you just smile and say, “Thanks. It’s custom.”
We’re based right here in the Pacific Northwest, and Redmond is one of our favorite places to deliver. You’ve got the tech, the trails, the families — and now, you can have the best darn dining table on your block too.
We’ll even handle delivery and setup, so you don’t have to worry about hauling a slab of hardwood through your front door while your kid asks where the marshmallows are for the yams.
Whether you’re planning ahead for Thanksgiving, dreaming of a statement piece, or just want to stop using that weird half-table you inherited from your college days, now’s the time.
