life shows through in natural variations and texture. The carved llofte pattern around the drum sides creates visual interest without feeling overdone, balancing rustic material with refined detailing in that natural wood tone. This works well in living rooms or bedrooms where you want a statement occasional table that doesn't dominate. Style it alongside upholstered pieces or alongside other natural materials—linen, wool, rattan. Worth noting: elm's open grain means it can mark more easily than harder woods, so use coasters with drinks.
