A farm table, also known as a harvest table, is a simple wood table that often incorporates a rustic finish with long planks of distressed wood. The legs of a farm table are usually simplistic in style. Benches are often used on one or both sides of the table—but dining chairs work just fine too. Despite the name, farm tables aren't always used on a farm (but we won't stop you if you'd like rural al fresco dining).
