From a one-of-a-kind console crafted from reclaimed pine to handwoven rugs made of chemical-free materials, these eco-friendly items will be a welcomed addition to your home.

Take a look!

A photo of a wooden console table with a flat surface on top of three wedge-shaped alcoves. This eco-friendly item has a lamp and a work of abstract art on top of it and is set in a room with a green chair and a patterned rug.

Rustic and Refined

Crafted in reclaimed pine salvaged from pallets, the Sorrento console from Urban Barn features a three-arch design and comes in a natural finish. Because the wood for each table is uniquely distressed, every console is one of a kind.
