How Long Does a Resin Table Take to Make?
The making is 2 to 3 days for a simple slab table on a steel base and 5 to 8 days for a river or complex piece. Resin adds its own clock: each pour waits 12 to 72 hours before the next, and a deep pour needs 7 to 14 days to fully cure. So a river table takes a few weeks from the first pour, plus the maker's waiting list.

Drawing your table. This takes 20 to 50 seconds.
Your request is already through, so you can close this page if you need to.
That's an AI concept, not a drawing to build from. Every slab is different: the maker shows you the real boards before anything is cut.
We couldn't do this one. Some photos don't work: a clearer, wider shot in daylight usually does.
Your request is in: you'll still get a call with a price.

From slab to your door
| Stage | How long |
|---|---|
| Choosing the slab | Up to you: the maker sends photos or has you in |
| Making: cutting, flattening, the mould | Part of 2 to 3 days for a simple slab table, 5 to 8 days for a river or complex piece |
| Each resin pour | 12 to 72 hours before the next |
| Full cure | 7 to 14 days |
| Sanding, finish, base | Part of the making days |
| The maker's waiting list | Ask: tables are made to order |
Cold slows resin down and heat speeds it up, which is why makers keep the workshop at a steady 18 to 20°C. A table for a date, a wedding or a new house: tell the maker the date first.

Questions we get asked
How long does a resin table take to make?
The making is 2 to 3 days for a simple slab table and 5 to 8 days for complex work. Resin adds its own time: each pour waits 12 to 72 hours before the next, and a deep pour needs 7 to 14 days to fully cure.
Why does resin take so long?
It goes in layers of about 2 to 5 cm, each one curing 12 to 72 hours, and the last needs 7 to 14 days before the top is flattened and finished.
Can I have it for a date?
Tell the maker the date before anything else. Slabs and curing can't be rushed.
