Arcadian Cottage specializes in handcrafted furniture using reclaimed barn wood that is over 100+ years old. The specific wood we select is becoming rare as old barns and structures slowly disappear across the United States. We are most recognized for our farm tables using this historic wood. Our tables are made to resemble those found in an early 1800’s American or French farmhouse. The old wood tells stories of times past with natural aging, knots and nail holes to make an authentic art piece of history, while being environmentally friendly at the same time. All tables will have a historic look. Variations in the table top – color, nail holes, knots, wood grain and saw marks are to be expected and celebrated. The "imperfections" in this wood give our tables character and will become classic family heirlooms to be used for many generations.
Our tables are highly sought after because we are unique in complementing the reclaimed barn wood with a French style waxed finish. Wax finishes have been used by fine furniture craftsman for hundreds of years. Our wax finish along with our application process brings out the beautiful, natural patina and highlights the uniqueness of the wood’s tone and grain texture. Unlike oil or water-based finishes that need to be fully stripped per the occasional water ring, scuff mark or scratch – wax finishes are easily maintained like polishing shoes. Some of our clients enjoy the look of the natural wear of their table while others want to keep the original sheen. We will gladly provide care instructions upon purchase of our tables.
Arcadian Cottage is an original artisan owned, handmade Etsy shop. Our master furniture craftsman, Christopher McGean, has been building furniture for over 25 years. We are small business that enjoys working with clientele that value our talent and individual attention. All of our wood furnishings are handmade by us in our workshop in Phoenix, Arizona. Our craftsmanship is based on the techniques of how fine furniture makers have been building wood furniture for hundreds of years. Our wood selection, exclusive finish process and attention to details, make our reclaimed barn wood furniture stand out from other makers.
Thank you for supporting our small business!

5 out of 5 starsMy sister had seen a picture of arcadian cottage's petite farmhouse table on ETSY and just loved it. I decided to buy it as as a surprise for her. When she received the table she was so excited and happy with it. It was very well made of reclaimed barn wood....Very strong and sturdy with the distressed white legs and dark table top. A piece of furniture that would last for many years. When the table was received the packing was amazing. It came on a wooden pallet with wooden slats to hold it in place. The table top rested on a type of shipping blanket. The whole table and wooden slats protecting the table were totally and completely well wrapped. Best I've ever seen in receiving an ordered piece of furniture. Thank you Arcadian cottage for the beautiful petite table. Well done.

5 out of 5 starsThe table is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I ordered a custom 9', bar height table to sit behind the couch in our lower level rec room. The table arrived today and it has truly exceeded my expectations. The character of the wood, the quality of the construction, the look & feel of the finished product...all tops! You'll be hard-pressed to find this quality at twice the price. Package was properly protected for shipping. The entire process from order to delivery took more than three months and the delivery window was 10 am - 4 pm (the driver arrived at nearly 6 pm) but the finished product is truly worth the wait. Very, very pleased with the purchase. Thank you, Christopher!

5 out of 5 starsI got my table today and I absolutely love it. It arrived in a timely fashion. It was very well wrapped and protected. The shippers called me the day before to schedule the delivery. They put it on the driveway for me. I could not be happier with the end product and the whole process. I will be buying more items from Arcadian Cottage.

5 out of 5 starsAll my life have wanted a beautiful old refectory table and when Chris delivered this to me shortly before Christmas I knew my dream had come true. Made of old growth pine and recycled iron nails, with all of its small holes and signs of wear, it is the crowning glory to our dining room/ library. We love it so much I can hardly put a tablecloth on it. The waxed finish is so beautiful and shows the grain. This is a family heirloom and my grandaghter has already claimed it for the future. Thankyou Chris for getting it to me for Christmas! Best gift ever!
