The coffee table studio · Pretoria workshop
Build the table. Watch the price as you go.
Four board finishes on a welded steel frame, made one at a time. Change the size, board, legs or colour and the price updates instantly, priced off real merchant costs. Spin it to see how it goes together.

What is on screen now is our standard size, not your order. Change the answers below to your own measurements — the drawing and the price update as you go. Nothing is locked in, and nothing is ordered until you have a written price. How this works
Pick one to start, then change anything. Nothing is locked.
Measure the doorway it has to go through before you order. A welded frame that will not turn through the opening cannot be fixed on the day.
The clear opening, not the door leaf — measure between the frames with the door open, and check any passage or stair corner it has to turn on the way in. Left alone we check against a standard 760 mm inside door, but that is our assumption, not your measurement. If you already know a welded frame will not go in, tick Bolt-together frame below. A piece that cannot be carried in on the day is not something we can put right at our cost.
Measured off the legs, so it never lands on one. On a narrow top with the legs well in, it moves inboard until it fits.
Two arms, each its own length and depth, form one L-shaped top banded round the corner. Just measure each wall.
Advanced
More inset looks lighter, more "floating". Less gives more end support.
Every colour costs the same: two coats, priced by the steel there is to cover.
Each shelf is a welded steel sub-frame with a board top, priced off the tube and board used.
The shelf runs between the legs, so it can never overhang the ends. How shallow it can go depends on the frame — the rails sit on the legs, and the board has to cover them.
We build one-offs all the time. Whatever you type here goes on the build sheet and we price it with the rest — it just will not appear in the drawing above, because the 3D preview can only show the options listed here.
A separate stand — lift it off, or move it to another table.
Each shelf sits on its own welded rail pair, so you can place it exactly where you need it.
Enter something's real size and it's drawn to scale on the table. Anything that won't fit turns red and shows you by how much. Drag pieces in the drawing to reposition them.
Millimetres, measured off the thing itself. Or start from one of these:
Your own equipment is never charged for — it's just drawn in to check the fit.
Each table: materials plus welding and painting. Delivery is R 300 for the whole order, however many you buy.
Delivered assembled, carried in and levelled where you want it. R 300 anywhere in Pretoria, added on top of the price above. Outside Pretoria we don’t deliver — you’re welcome to collect from the workshop.
Shortcuts — only if you want them
AI turns your description into a real design right away — no waiting on us, nothing to review. Change anything afterwards.
A dot means it's already set. Tap any item to jump straight to that step — or describe what you want in the box above and we'll find it, spelling and all.

Real steel, real board — same hands.
The coffee table studio is new — nothing to photograph from this bench yet. What's pictured is a real desk from the same Pretoria workshop: same welded steel, same board, same process. We'll swap this for a real coffee table the moment the first one's finished.
Drawn in the desk studio — A-frame legs, two-shelf side unit.
The finished desk, out of the Pretoria workshop. Not a render.
Every price on this page is worked out the same honest way — real merchant costs for exactly what your own design uses, nothing rounded up or guessed.
