I was a bit nervous about how raffia would hold up in a living room, but this table's texture is surprisingly sturdy and adds a warm, organic feel. The leather trim gives it a polished edge that keeps it from feeling too casual. I’m really happy with how it anchors the space.

The full-grain leather trim along the edges is what sold me — it catches the light and makes the whole piece feel way more expensive than it was. Set it in front of my sofa and it instantly anchored the room.

The raffia texture has this subtle woven grain that catches the light differently throughout the day, way nicer in person than in photos. The leather trim follows the curved edges so cleanly, it makes the whole thing feel a lot more expensive than it was.
