Vanguard Live Edge Table

This black walnut coffee table from Slab Studio Hong Kong is beautiful and solidly built. The wood grain and finish look premium, and the hidden drawers are super practical. It has a clean, modern look that fits perfectly in my space.

Generally speaking, I'm very happy with my purchase and the furniture looks fantastic
+ is of great wood quality/materials.

I ordered it online and got an immediate message from a Slab Studio Hongkong team member by email to double check the order and type of wood (glad they did it as I did not pick the correct one).

It took 100 days in total from the day of purchase until the day of delivery here in Paris. So be prepared to wait a bit before getting it delivered at home (they are announcing a few weeks to make it and then 60 days for shipping here in EU).

The furniture was delivered in a big wooden box and was very well packed with just the 2 sliding glass doors and 2 legs/feet to be mounted. Not a single scratch or anything like that thanks to the wooden box and lots of protection within the box. Well done for all the preparation and cautious packing work.

The wood seems to be of very good quality and the furniture is 100% aligning with pictures and description. The general feeling and look of it is making it kind of premium.

The only point to be aware of is about the upper sliding doors as the rails in which they are sliding is simply wood. Meaning that while the sliding is very smooth and functional, the sound of the sliding is not 100% pleasant (it would be nice having a kind of material in the grooves/rails to make the sliding sound more pleasant/discreet).

But the above mentioned point is not a big blocker or negative aspect as you can see I still put 5 stars in my rating.

Also, please don't be anxious about the fact that the order status is not getting updated in your account. My status kept being the same from day 1 whatever the advancement of the order. If you have questions about your order, please feel free to engage with the Slab Studio Hongkong team so they can let you know about its advancement.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Yeung at Slabstudio. The craftsmanship of the pieces he made for me — a bed frame and matching night stands — is exquisite. The proportions, joinery, and finish are all flawless, and the overall effect in my bedroom is exactly what I had hoped for.

What impressed me just as much was the communication. Even though Yeung is halfway across the world from me, he was more responsive, clear, and reliable than most businesses in the city where I live. He always replied promptly to my questions, sent multiple progress photos, and made the process feel easy and transparent from start to finish.

It’s rare to find a maker who combines this level of artistry with such professionalism. I recommend Slabstudio wholeheartedly and will definitely turn to Yeung again for future projects.

We were a bit hesitant about ordering from a less well known seller, but decided to take the chance after seeing the FB photos from the factory... and we are so glad we did! The bed arrived in less than 8 weeks from purchase (we're US based), and it's a beautiful king bed, very high quality wood and construction. This would cost 2-3x+ what we paid for similar quality in the US. Highly recommend this studio!

We ordered a shoe storage and are in love with this piece, the quality was fantastic, it was fully hardwood which is rare to find in shops today. Yueng helped arrange a split payment to allow the payment to be made in 2 installments which I very much appreciated. Emails were often within an hour of receipt and answered any queries we had. I was so happy with the product I ended up ordering again from the company!

We are so happy with the console, it was beautifully built from great materials. With all email queries Yueng would respond swiftly. The product arrived in a crate with good packaging to avoid any possibility of damage. We would definitely buy from this company again and have recommended them to family and friends.

This is my third piece from Yeung at Slab Studio Hong Kong, and once again, I'm beyond impressed. The solid black walnut bookshelf is a stunning addition to my space. Elegant, timeless, and crafted with exceptional attention to detail. Each piece I've received from Slab Studio has its own unique character, and this one is no exception. The grain, finish, and overall design reflect true craftsmanship.

Shipping took about 75 days from the time I placed my order, which was well worth the wait. The bookshelf arrived in a meticulously built crate that ensured it was perfectly protected during transit. It’s clear that Yeung and his team care deeply about both the artistry and the customer experience.

If you're looking for heirloom-quality furniture that blends beauty with integrity, Slab Studio delivers every time.

I was looking for a shoe cabinet for my entryway, but had a hard time finding pieces that were not just particle board and cheap construction. I messaged Slab Studio on WhatsApp and they were very responsive throughout the process from helping me pick the right wood and stain to match my space, providing progress updates and photos, and shipping status updates on request. They even were gracious enough to customize the cabinet with soft-close doors.

The cabinet exceeded my expectations. The quality is clear from the moment you see it in person. The walnut finish is smooth and rich, with visible wood grain that gives it a premium feel.

It arrived in a wooden crate, which protected it very well, but was also took some effort and tools to open. That is an understandable tradeoff for a high quality piece being shipped across the globe.

I would highly recommend Slab Studio for their furniture. The solid wood construction and high quality finishes look at home with other mid-high tier furniture like RH, Arhaus, etc.

The bed is absolutely beautiful! We love it. The wood color and grain are as pictured. The craftmanship is amazing. The bed arrived in a crate. All of the pieces were carefully wrapped. Only a few bolts were needed to put the bed together. All of the other parts fit perfectly together. I would highly recommend using Slab Studio Hong Kong. If you are ordering for delivery to the US it does at 45 days for arrival after production, but it is worth it if you can wait.

I have recieved my coffeetable and I am very happy :-) I had big expectations and was'nt dissapointed. The wood (dark solid american walnut) is very beautifull and the craftsmanship is of high quality. It fits my other furniture and the livingroom perfectly. I am certain I will enjoy and have this furniture for many years.
It took aprox. 4 monts from placing the order to delivery in Copenhagen and the intire process was smooth and hasslefree. The deliverytime was communicated when I ordered the furniture so I expected the deliverytime.
The wooden box in which the furniture came was solid and ensured the the furniture was'nt damaged during transportation.
I am VERY satisfied and I won't hesitate to buy furniture from Slabstudiohongkong in the future.

The bed is beautiful. It arrived in good condition and was easy to assemble. The craftsmanship is very good and my daughter loves it!

We got a this cabinet in unstained ash. They reached out to us to confirm whether this was on purpose (it was), and around two months later this beauty of woodworking showed up. It's astonishing quality, doubly so given the price.

Only complaint is that we didn't have any shipping info until we got a call from freight delivery after it had already cleared customs. That's minor, however, since the folks are responsive to email, so you can always get a human to talk to.

I recently received my TV console from Slab Studio Hong Kong, and I am truly impressed. The quality of the black walnut wood is superb, with every detail—from the smooth finish to the precise joinery—showcasing exceptional craftsmanship.
Throughout the process, Yeung provided attentive and professional service, keeping me informed with progress updates and responding promptly to my questions. His dedication and clear communication made the entire experience exceptional.
While the creation and delivery process does take a while, about 110 days to door in the US, the artistry and quality of the console more than justified the wait. This piece not only serves as a functional addition to my living space but also stands out as a beautiful work of art.
If you’re considering a bespoke furniture piece that balances functionality with meticulous craftsmanship, I highly recommend Slab Studio Hong Kong.

Quite a long postage time but it was worth the wait. Really great product and beautifully made with quality parts. Very happy with the purchase.

I ordered 4 cabinets for my kitchen. In the past I ordered a side table for my couch. I was afraid of the shipping from so far as I am in the USA, but to my surprise it was super easy. The furniture are my favorite. They are cherry and the finish is impeccable. The furniture are high quality and the craftsmanship is excellent. They came mostly assembled, and putting the together was a breeze. I needed some cabinets to have different dimensions that what was offered and they were able to fulfill my requirements. I couldn't be more happy, and I am planning to order some large wardrobes next.

To put it short, I simply cannot recommend this vendor enough.
To put a few more words to it: Well, this was my first time buying a piece of high end furniture and being of fairly modest means I knew I wanted a cabinet in a very particular style and which would last for a very long time. I found slabstudio early in my search and fell in love with this piece, I was however hesitant to shell out this amount of money, but search as I might I simply could find another cabinet from other vendors in a similar style that I liked as much.

Finally I bit the bullet and contacted slabstudio regarding a custom order. The original piece as advertised comes with two sliding doors with open slats but this didn't quite match the aesthetic I wanted. I therefore asked if it would be possible to modify one of the sliding doors so as to have it match the drawer section while retaining the sliding door function and slabstudio after some clarification, including me sending some rough mockups made in paint, replied that they could certainly do that for me.
The entire ordering process was very pleasant and they were quite helpful.
I made the order on 8 november 2024 and recieved the piece, which was very securely packaged, on 17 february 2025.

Now I live in denmark so a delivery time of just over 3 months for a custom piece of high end carpentry shipped all the way from Hong Kong is quite fast in my book.

Lastly i would to note that slabstudio included shipping expenses and import taxes in the price. Again, I live in Denmark so I was somewhat sceptical of this, thinking that surely i'd be getting a call from customs so they could slap me with that 25% VAT. It turned out to be true though and the cabinet was delivered without having to deal with customs.

The cabinet itself is beautiful. From the wood itself, the finish and the detailing. It is quite solid and I almost blew out my back getting it up the stairs to my second story apartment. Additionally, the custom sliding door could not be closer to what i had envisioned, to the point that I suspect they straight up used the same size and type of recessed grip handle as I used in my mockups.

I highly praise slabstudio for their work and thoroughly recommend them. Excellent customer service, excellent craftmanship and the price is remarkably cheap compared to my local market so I will almost certainly be buying from them again if I can save up enough to buy something else in this price range.

I purchased this all walnut Japanese Style television console in the biggest size they offer but I wasn't quite happy with how short it was, but that wasn't a problem for these guys. I told them I needed it a few inches bigger and they made it happen. I was worried the proportions were going to be all off , that was not the case. Everything came out perfect. The shipment came well boxed so there was no damage during shipping.. I'm looking into buying more pieces from these guys again..

I purchased two separate pieces; both are stunning! They’re exactly what I was looking for, and probably the best furniture I own right now. The craftsmanship is excellent. They were shipped carefully, and arrived in perfect condition. Yeung is extremely communicative, helpful, and courteous. I would definitely order from here again.

J'ai commandé un buffet, un meuble TV et une console. Excellent travail ! Je vous suis très reconnaissant ! Les meubles sont très beaux et bien réalisés ! Le propriétaire de l'entreprise était constamment en contact avec moi et discutait de tous les détails concernant le mobilier. Je suis incroyablement satisfait du résultat, qui a dépassé toutes mes attentes ! Merci beaucoup!

Incredible piece of furniture, looks absolutely beautiful, the wood is so well put together and it goes so well in my new home which is my first place! Yeung was great the whole way, always really responsive on WhatsApp whenever I messaged him. Couldn’t rate the customer service or overall experience any higher, will definitely purchase from him again!

I ordered the Japanese Oak TV Stand in White Oak and it exceeded my expectations.

For anyone who was wondering if this is a legitimate company, yes it is. I felt like I was taking a huge risk especially with the minimal reviews, costs and long lead times, but after receiving the product I can honestly recommend this company to anyone. The quality of the product is exceptional, and I can tell this is piece of furniture is going to last a lifetime.

Yeung maintained good communication throughout the entire process and answered all my questions quickly and transparently. We discussed and confirmed the measurements upon ordering and also drilled cable holes for me in the back of the unit.

While not the cheapest prices and wait times, it is worth the investment. Very happy customer!

High quality and looks exactly like in photos. Drawers move very smoothly. Customer service was amazing, and good communication avout measurements and shipping during each step of the process.

Beyond impressed with the workmanship, exotic wood and shipping. Absolutely stunning piece, arrived without a scratch! Most amazing company to deal with and customize to my specs.

My custom cabinet turned out better than I had ever hoped. Yeung has used top quality materials and superior craftsmanship. The hand rubbed finish is second to none. I will absolutely be making more purchases in the future.

Très beau meuble. Service client très réactif et professionnel.
