Why choose Stolařství Mikel? A Czech solid wood table from the Beskydy Mountains

At a time when most furniture is manufactured in large factories on the other side of the world, more and more people are asking: Where does my table actually come from, and who made it?

At Stolařství Mikel, we believe that a table is not just a piece of furniture. It's a place where families gather, where stories are created, and something that should last for decades. That's why we do things differently – slower, more honestly, and with maximum emphasis on quality.

A small workshop in the heart of the Beskids

We are not a large production facility. We are a family workshop hidden in the Beskids, where every table passes through the hands of the same people from start to finish. We don't produce hundreds of pieces per month. We only make as many as we can do properly. This approach allows us to have full control over each table and guarantee a quality that large factories would find difficult to maintain.

Exclusively Czech wood

We only select oak and ash from Czech forests, mainly from the higher altitudes of the Beskids and surrounding areas. No imports from Asia, no unknown origins. Each board has its own story – we know where the wood comes from, and we strive to process it so that its natural beauty stands out.

Czech wood also means a lower carbon footprint, better traceability, and support for local forestry. Do you want to know the differences between oak and ash? Read our article Ash vs. Oak – which wood is better for a dining table in 2026.

Handcrafted by an artistic blacksmith

One of the greatest specific features of our tables are the metal bases. We do not rely on mass-produced legs from large-scale manufacturing. We collaborate with the artistic blacksmith Roman Křenek, who shapes each base by hand.

The result? An original, sturdy, and aesthetically clean piece that mass production can never fully replace. Each base bears the mark of human labor and craftsmanship – exactly as honest furniture should be.

Quality over quantity

Nowadays, many manufacturers focus on the highest possible production volume. We take the opposite approach. We prefer to make fewer tables, but each one properly.

Every piece that leaves our workshop undergoes several inspections. We dedicate time to wood selection, drying, processing, and final surface treatment. Thanks to this, we can confidently say that our table will last not only for you but also for your children and grandchildren.

A table with a soul

What we value most is that our tables are not anonymous. Each of them has its own story – from the selection of the log in the forest, through manual processing, to the final oiling.

We want you to buy a table that you will have a connection with. A table you'll love sitting at, which will be part of your family rituals, and which will gain patina and beauty over time.
