There is no single price per square metre for a bespoke timber and resin table. Timber, dimensions, resin volume, the base, CNC work, finish, reinforcement, delivery and personal details can all make a substantial difference to the budget. This guide looks at published European prices in 2026, explains what goes into a quote and explores when commissioning a table in Bratislava can make sense for clients in Austria, Germany, Czechia, Poland or Switzerland.
The short answer
Bespoke timber and resin tables sit firmly in the premium furniture market. As checked in September 2026, Germany’s Schwarzhirsch lists several oak tables from €1,999 and walnut models from €2,049, with some rarer timbers priced higher. Fantasteak, for example, lists a live-edge ash and resin model at €3,950. These are examples, not like-for-like quotes: dimensions, bases, finishes and delivery must be compared separately, and published prices can change.
That does not set a fixed price for a table made in Bratislava. At Ahoj Epoxy, we do not apply one flat price list to every bespoke commission. Our project calculator considers the type of piece, the timber-to-resin ratio, timber species, dimensions, thickness, metal base, engraving, electronics, premium specification and delivery.
The honest answer is: agree the specification first, then the price. Bratislava’s appeal is not a promise that we are always 30% cheaper. It is the combination of potentially more favourable costs for some skilled work, our own workshop, several manufacturing processes under one roof and practical road connections across Central Europe.
Three tables, three different approaches
These pieces feature in our business portfolio. They show why a design starts with more than resin colour: the format, timber grain, resin river and base all shape the table’s character and the way it can be used.
Azure River Dining Table
A large-format table with live edges, deep blue resin, striking grain and an open geometric steel base.
Deep Blue Round Table
A compact round table combining richly figured timber with translucent blue-violet resin and a striking sense of depth.
Live-Edge White Resin Table
Natural timber edges and a clean white resin river create a lighter composition for a dining or meeting space.
The photographs show genuine Ahoj Epoxy pieces. Descriptions reflect the features documented in our portfolio; dimensions and lead times are agreed separately for each new commission.
Same size, very different price
A 200 × 100 cm oak table with a narrow dark resin insert and a simple U-shaped steel base is one kind of commission.
A table of the same size using an exceptional walnut slab, a wide clear deep-cast resin section, an intricate live edge, brass inlay, CNC work, a bespoke base and delivery to Zurich is a very different project.
The surface area is the same. The hours of work, material costs, manufacturing risks and logistics are not.
What makes the biggest difference to the price?
| Factor | Effect on price | Why it matters | Can the cost be managed? | Where not to cut corners |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | High | More timber, resin and machining | Yes — with well-planned proportions | Leave enough space for comfortable use |
| Timber species and slab | High | Rarity, slab width and grain | Yes — consider an alternative timber | Correct moisture content and timber quality |
| Resin volume | Medium to high | Material and casting time | Yes — through the river design | Choosing the right resin system |
| Metal base | Medium | Steel, welding and finishing | Yes — use a standard base design | Stability |
| CNC work and engraving | Low to high | Set-up and machine time | Yes — simplify the design | Fit at critical interfaces |
| Surface finish | Medium | Sanding, coating and polishing | To a limited extent | Surface protection |
| Delivery | Low to high | Size and destination | Yes — with a modular design | Protective packaging |
| White-label and business documentation | Depends on the project | Samples, drawings and quality checks | Use an agreed, repeatable process | Specification and sample approval |
1. Timber species is the first major variable
The starting point is not the word ‘resin’, but the solid timber itself.
Oak often offers a good balance of availability, character and suitability for larger pieces. Walnut tends to cost more, particularly for a wide, attractive slab. Olive, elm, strongly figured timber and exceptional solid slabs can push the budget further.
In its catalogue checked in September 2026, Schwarzhirsch lists oak resin tables from €1,999, walnut versions from around €2,049 and an olive model from €2,649, available on enquiry. These starting prices illustrate how timber choice can affect the price even within one maker’s range; they are not a like-for-like comparison of identical specifications.
2. The individual slab matters as much as the species
An exceptional 110 cm-wide oak slab with beautiful branching grain can cost more than an ordinary narrow walnut slab.
That is why a workshop should look beyond the species name when discussing timber.
With a bespoke commission, you are paying for a particular slab’s potential to create the size and character you want.
3. A larger table does not simply cost proportionally more
Moving from 160 to 180 cm may make only a modest difference.
Going from 240 to 300 cm may require a completely different slab, a stronger base, reinforcement, different transport arrangements and more handling time.
A useful calculator therefore needs to account for more than material quantity alone. At larger sizes, a table can become a different manufacturing proposition altogether.
4. Tabletop thickness
A thicker top uses more costly material and is considerably heavier.
It also takes more time to flatten, sand and transport.
A top around 40 mm thick often has a substantial presence without unnecessary weight, although the particular design may call for a different solution.
5. Resin costs more than its price per kilogram
It is tempting to estimate a table’s price from the cost of a kilogram of resin. But the raw material is only one part of the picture.
The right deep-casting system, pigments, moulds, sealing, controlled pours, curing time, machining and polishing all matter.
A wide, clear resin river often costs more than a narrow dark insert. With transparent resin, bubbles and visual quality demand much closer control.
6. Clear resin leaves nowhere for imperfections to hide
A small visual imperfection may barely show in black resin.
In a clear casting, bubbles, contamination and poorly prepared edges remain visible.
Achieving a high-quality clear insert therefore takes more preparation and inspection.
7. Colour affects the price, but rarely drives it
A straightforward black or smoky pigment is rarely the main cost driver.
Layered effects, metallic compositions or a specific brand colour with sample approval require more trials.
For a large table, though, timber, dimensions and the base usually have a greater effect on the budget than pigment.
8. The table base
Ready-made U-shaped or trapezoidal legs generally cost less than a fully bespoke steel base.
A large table may still need a concealed frame or reinforcement, whether or not it is visible in the finished piece.
The base is no place to cut corners. A beautiful top on an unstable frame is still a poorly made table.
9. CNC machining
CNC work might mean a few simple holes, or hours spent machining a relief, a logo inlay or complex shapes.
Saying ‘we use CNC’ tells you very little about the cost on its own.
Machine time, tooling, set-up and hand finishing are costed against the actual design.
10. Logos, power sockets and wireless charging
A simple engraving may add relatively little to the price.
An integrated power system needs suitable fittings, a machined recess, a cable route and access for maintenance.
Electronics can account for a substantial share of a boardroom table’s budget. A straightforward dining table may not need them at all.
11. The finish
High-gloss polished resin calls for a different process from a satin furniture finish.
Oil, hardwax oil, polyurethane and lacquer differ in how they are applied and maintained.
A good finish is more than a decorative final layer. It determines how the table handles water, cleaning and years of use.
12. A low price can hide missing preparation
An Instagram photograph cannot tell you whether the maker checked the timber’s moisture content, reinforced a long top, properly finished the underside or allowed the resin to cure fully.
The lowest quote may reflect genuinely efficient production. Or it may leave out something whose absence only becomes apparent a year later.
Compare what is included, not just the total at the bottom.
13. A German market reference for 2026
Schwarzhirsch’s main collection, checked in September 2026, includes oak models from €1,999 and walnut models from €2,049. Individual product prices and offers can differ. Compare the selected dimensions, thickness and base rather than treating a collection’s starting price as the price of every table.
Its Blackforest product page lists a production window of 8–14 weeks. That is the other maker’s stated lead time, not a delivery promise from Ahoj Epoxy.
This is not an average price for Germany. It is one real maker’s published reference point for bespoke resin furniture.
14. Another market reference — with an important distinction
Fantasteak lists its ‘Esstisch aus Wildesche mit Epoxidharz’ ash and resin model at €3,950, including its stated 20% VAT, with shipping separate (checked on 18 September 2026). The page describes a one-off live-edge piece, with bespoke work available on enquiry. Confirm availability, dimensions and the included base for the model you want; this is not a flat price for a different specification.
The company lists a Vienna showroom, making it a useful reference for the premium furniture market in Central Europe.
The distinction between a tabletop and a complete table alone shows why ‘resin table’ is not a sufficient brief for an accurate price.
15. A headline ‘from’ price needs context
A low starting price is good at attracting clicks.
But if it applies to a small coffee-table top without legs and you want a 240 cm dining table, it tells you very little.
The Ahoj Epoxy calculator asks about the type of piece, timber-to-resin ratio, timber species, width, length, thickness, electronics, whether you need a top only, the metal frame, engraving, protective finish, packaging, delivery and premium specification. Those are the details that should shape a real quote.
16. Why commissioning in Bratislava may offer better value
Skilled labour accounts for a substantial part of bespoke furniture production.
Where workshop overheads and labour costs are lower than in a more expensive market, the finished piece may be competitively priced even after delivery is included.
That is not a guaranteed saving on every commission. A simple table made locally in Germany may cost less than a complex walnut and resin project from Bratislava.
17. Where potential savings matter most
In pieces that involve a great deal of skilled work.
A large solid timber top, clear casting, bespoke metalwork, CNC machining, engraving and a hand-finished surface all involve many hours of production.
The greater the share of hand work and specialist processes, the more worthwhile it becomes to compare quotes across markets.
18. When commissioning abroad may not save money
For a straightforward standard table, the calculation may favour a local option.
For a small piece where delivery absorbs the entire price difference.
For expensive, rare imported material with broadly similar costs across Europe.
For a piece that needs several days of installation far from Bratislava.
19. Austria: a practical neighbouring market
Vienna is close enough that delivering a bespoke table from Bratislava can involve a shorter journey than delivery from some parts of Austria.
Potential savings in workshop production need not be outweighed by a long-distance delivery charge.
The proximity also makes arranging a sample or a visit more practical for a substantial commission.
20. Germany: compare bespoke with bespoke
Compare a Bratislava workshop’s quote with a German bespoke furniture maker, not with IKEA or a mass-market online shop.
A published starting price of around €2,000 for a particular German resin-table model can be a useful reference. The meaningful comparison comes when both makers quote for the same size, complexity and specification.
What matters is the delivered total: the table, packaging, transport and any installation.
21. Czechia: more than a question of price
Brno and Moravia are conveniently placed for road delivery from Bratislava.
Prague is further away, but still within a straightforward road-delivery route.
Price is not the only consideration: Czechia also has excellent bespoke workshops.
22. Poland: specialism matters
Poland has an established furniture manufacturing industry.
Telling a Polish client ‘we are cheaper’ without a specific, comparable quote would miss the point.
Specialist expertise, the portfolio, resin quality and the particular design are more useful reasons to choose a workshop.
23. Switzerland: work out the landed cost
For a labour-intensive bespoke piece, comparing a Swiss quote with one from Bratislava can be worthwhile.
Switzerland is outside the EU. Allow for road transport, customs clearance and applicable import VAT when planning the budget. The arrangements depend on how the piece is imported and should be confirmed for the individual delivery.
For a substantial dining or boardroom table, those costs may still make sense. Compare the full landed cost, not just the workshop price.
24. Plan efficient delivery at the drawing stage
Removable legs, a modular base and well-planned packaging can reduce the volume to be transported.
A very long boardroom table can be designed in carefully engineered sections.
A discreet joint can sometimes make a significant difference to delivery costs and make installation safer. Any saving needs to be calculated for the actual project.
25. Collecting from the workshop
For clients in Vienna or the surrounding region, collection may reduce some logistics costs.
A large top still needs a suitable vehicle, a secure transport frame and enough people to handle it safely.
Saving on delivery should not mean taking a polished tabletop home on an ordinary roof rack.
26. What to send us for an accurate quote
The length and width.
How many people it needs to seat.
Your preferred timber.
A reference image for the resin design.
Whether you need a tabletop only or a complete table.
Your ideas for the base.
The delivery address.
Any extras, such as a logo, power sockets, lighting or engraving.
For business projects, drawings and any white-label requirements.
27. Manage the budget without compromising the look
Consider oak instead of an exceptional walnut slab, if it suits the design.
Choose a narrower resin river.
Use a standard steel base design rather than a complex bespoke structure.
Leave out electronics you will not actually use.
Explore a modular construction to make delivery more economical.
Let a beautiful natural slab take centre stage instead of adding costly decorative effects.
28. Where not to cut corners
Correct timber moisture content and quality.
A suitable casting system.
Reinforcement for a large table.
A stable base.
The surface finish.
Protective packaging.
These are the details that determine whether a saving still feels like a saving several years later.
29. Think about value over the table’s lifetime
Bespoke furniture makes sense as a lasting investment, not a trend-led purchase for one season.
Solid timber can be refurbished, finishes renewed, bases recoated and individual scratches repaired, depending on the materials and damage.
If a table is used for ten or twenty years, the difference between €2,000 and €2,500 looks rather different from the day you buy it.
30. Lead time and price are connected
A proper production sequence takes time.
Schwarzhirsch’s Blackforest page, checked in September 2026, states a production window of 8–14 weeks. It is a useful illustration of the time bespoke work can take, not a lead time for your Ahoj Epoxy project. A well-made commissioned piece is not necessarily a five-day job.
An express schedule is only possible when the materials, curing time and workshop capacity genuinely allow it.
31. Why a price discussed on the phone is only a guide
Until the actual slab has been chosen, part of the budget remains uncertain.
Dimensions and design can give us a price range, but the final quote should be confirmed once the material is selected.
That is more straightforward than an enticing fixed price followed by unexpected extras.
32. Private and business commissions include different work
A private client typically commissions a unique top, a considered design and delivery to their home.
A business commission may also include drawings, samples, electronics, quality checks, packaging specifications and coordinated installation.
The same tabletop can therefore come with a different scope of services for a home and a commercial project.
33. White-label manufacturing
An interior design studio can commission Ahoj Epoxy to manufacture a table and sell the finished piece under its own brand.
The benefit is not just the purchase price. The studio gains access to resin casting and CNC manufacturing without running those facilities itself.
Keeping the files, jigs and agreed material formulations for repeat orders can make subsequent production more efficient.
34. What good value really means
It is not simply the lowest number.
Good value means getting the design, materials and quality you want within a sensible budget, without avoidable repairs or a delivery headache.
A higher quote with sound construction and secure packaging may ultimately cost less once the piece is safely delivered.
36. What the Ahoj Epoxy calculator takes into account
Our calculator considers dimensions, timber species, the timber-to-resin ratio and the premium specification separately.
You can specify integrated electronics, a top without legs, a metal frame, an engraved logo or name, a protective finish, specialist packaging, delivery and installation.
This makes the basis of the guide price clear: a bespoke piece is priced from its specification, not a magic flat rate.
Your resin table pricing questions, answered
What does a resin table cost in Europe?
The German models referenced in this guide have published starting prices around €2,000, while the Fantasteak example is listed at €3,950. These September 2026 examples are not a European average or a quote for your project: size, materials, the base and delivery all affect the total.
What will my Ahoj Epoxy table cost?
The exact price depends on dimensions, timber, resin, the base, finish, extras and delivery. We do not publish a single fixed price list for every bespoke table.
What has the biggest effect on the price?
The timber and individual slab, dimensions, resin volume, metal base and complexity of the design.
Does walnut cost more than oak?
Usually, but an exceptional oak slab can reverse that comparison.
Does clear resin cost more?
Often, because casting clear resin to a high visual standard requires more care and control.
Can I order just the tabletop?
Yes. Our online calculator includes a top-only option.
Can I reduce the cost?
Yes — through material choices, resin volume, a standard base and efficient logistics, rather than compromising essential quality.
Is commissioning from Austria worthwhile?
It can be, particularly around Vienna, where Bratislava’s proximity makes the practical arrangements easier. Compare the full quote for your project.
What about clients in Germany?
For a demanding project involving substantial skilled work, it may offer good value. Compare the complete specification and delivered cost.
What about clients in Poland?
Not necessarily on price alone. Poland has an established furniture industry, so our specialist capabilities and the design are more relevant reasons to choose us.
Can you deliver a table to Switzerland?
Yes, with delivery arrangements, customs clearance and applicable import VAT taken into account for the individual project.
Can an interior design studio commission white-label production?
Yes.
The key question is not just the price — it is what the price includes
There is no meaningful single price for bespoke furniture without a specification.
A €1,900 table and a €4,000 table could have identical dimensions yet differ completely in their timber, resin clarity, metalwork, finish and construction. The figures alone do not tell you which offers better value.
Start by defining the brief, then compare like-for-like specifications and delivered totals. For European clients, Bratislava can be an appealing option for projects involving a great deal of skilled work and practical road delivery.
Ahoj Epoxy makes bespoke tables in Bratislava for private and business clients across Slovakia and Europe. Send dimensions, a reference image and your delivery town for an initial estimate. We then choose the actual timber, resin and base and prepare a quote for your project — not an internet average.
