Meet our new reclaimed wood media console…….

Ok, it is might be more of a ‘he’ than a ‘she’ with all the reclaimed wood /industrial vibe. But it is in our family room where we have the mammoth sectional, which is way too masculine. So I like to address every other piece of furniture in the room in feminine terms.
With this latest addition we’ve finally managed to cover that huge wall .

We found her at Maya Home, a store based out of Columbia, SC that specializes in recycled and reclaimed wood handcrafted furniture. I don’t exactly remember how I found them, might have been either through their Facebook page or through Craigslist. Got to admit, I was a little skeptical about buying the piece from a lesser know company and that too without seeing. But the dimensions and style of the piece were perfect for our space (you can read more about our limitations here). So we decided to go ahead and order it. And I’m so glad we did! Their customer service was great (they even worked with us diligently to find a white glove shipping service) and we got the piece in a week.
It was actually a buffet/ side board. We converted it to a media console by drilling two holes for the cables using a circular drill bit from Home Depot.
Here is proof that the piece is made of real wood! Look at how thick it is!
You know me, I have to sneak in a side angled shot;
There is tons of room inside for all the stuff and more yet it is surprisingly much narrower than our old console. View from the other side of the room.
One more shot….
As you can see we are thrilled with our latest reclaimed wood find. Any other reclaimed wood fans out here?
By the way here’s how you install floating shelves.
That’s a cute find Vidya, I liked everything about the site and their stuff except the price tag 😉
Thanks Shruthi. Actually the price + shipping was a lot cheaper than the ones we looked at Joss and Main & One kings Lane.
Sure, I like reclaimed wood. This is awesome and not a cookie-cutter piece, so you did great. It blends well with the flooring too. Happy new media console!
Thank you Sue.
Thats nice..,I saw the similar one in HomeGoods for $499…still felt expensive
$499 is actually a great price for something like this. Our sideboard is huge; 65″ Long , 36″ high, and 18″ deep. Similar size media consoles in PB, C&B, and Home Decorators run in the 1.5-2k range.

Vidya…sideboard is fabulous and I agree about you on price..our from PB and it cost us over 1k. looks great in your family room.
Thanks Nayana. Yes, they are so expensive! We were lusting after the Restoration Hardware ones for so long!

I love reclaimed wood pieces too! Got a Rajasthani window from Hammer and Hands (via etsy). But the piece they had that I coveted the most was a Goods Carrier sign from a truck. They weren’t thinking of selling it, more store decor.
Wow Goods Carrier sign sounds really interesting. Will check the store out.
Vidya
Love it. I have been looking and they are never the right size. I went to website and don’t see it. Was it custom? Does it have a name? Thank you.
Thank you Stacey. I think their stuff is usually one of a kind. This was the only piece they had like this. I know that they have closed their SC store but their store in CA is still open. Maybe you can reach out to them and they can find a similar piece for you? You can even mention that I sent them to you. Their customer service was really great and they did a good job with my order trying to find the best shipping etc.
Vidya
Thank you. I actually live in Ca.
