Solid Oak Church Communion Table: Column Pedestal [834AS]

A solid red oak communion table built on a column pedestal base rather than an enclosed cabinet. The columns lift the top clear of the platform, so the table reads as substantial without becoming a solid block of wood in front of the pulpit. It was designed to sit with the 830 and 830W pulpits, whose columns it echoes.

The front carries the inscription "This Do In Remembrance of Me" as standard, included in the price.

THE TWO-TONE WHITE FINISH

Most churches order this table in a single stain. The option worth knowing about is white with a stained top and base, which puts a painted white body between two stained oak surfaces. It suits a lighter contemporary sanctuary, and it picks up existing white chancel millwork in a way a full stain cannot.

It costs nothing extra. The two-tone finish is the same price as the plain stain at every level, which is unusual and worth a look before you default to a single color.

WILL IT FIT YOUR PLATFORM?

Overall dimensions are 48"W x 24"D x 32"H and it weighs 175 lbs. At four feet wide this is a moderate footprint, so it works on platforms that could not take a six-foot table, and the open pedestal base helps it sit in a tighter space without crowding.

The weight is worth noting. At 175 lbs on a 48" table this is considerably heavier than it looks, because the mass is in the columns and the base. Plan on two people to position it, and consider the caster option if your platform gets reconfigured for concerts, meetings, or fellowship events.

It ships fully assembled by freight truck. The carrier calls ahead to schedule a delivery appointment, so plan on someone being there to receive it. Lead time is approximately 10 weeks from receipt of order, since each one is built to your finish.

CHOOSING A FINISH

Light Oak #35, Medium Oak #43, and Dark Coffee #37 carry no additional charge. Twelve further stains are available at a 10% upcharge, including 711 Pecan, 128 Chestnut, 514 Dark Cherry, and 235 Black Pine. The two-tone white option is available across the whole range at no extra cost.

If you are ordering this table to go with a pulpit you already own, you can ask us for stain samples first. Wood takes stain differently from piece to piece, and a table finished in a separate production run will not match your pulpit exactly even in the same color. Ordering the pieces together is the only reliable way around that.

WHAT IT MATCHES

The 834AS was designed for the 830 pulpits, both in solid red oak with a clear acrylic front panel:

• 830 Pulpit—solid red oak top, base, and columns with an acrylic front
• 830W Pulpit—the winged version, for a wider platform

The pairing works because the table repeats the pulpit's column detail in solid oak while the pulpit keeps its acrylic front, so the two read as a set without the table competing for attention.
