The NEW Addition to the Motley Family!


We now have beautiful wooden tables that were designed and built for the Motley by the master craftsman Del Cover of San Diego. In accordance with our mission statement, we wanted our tables to be another example of sustainable and environmentally conscious business practices.
So then…What makes these tables so special?

In 2003, the most powerful wildfires ever recorded in California swept through San Diego’s forests. Fires are vital to the natural cycles of forests and when allowed to naturally occur do not damage trees. However, prolonged prevention of fires caused irreparable damage to the forest, past the point of recovery. Fortunately, the dead trees could be recovered and were used to build these beautiful tables. The wood comes from a native tree, California incense cedar, which grows in abundance in the forests of the San Diego foothills. So our tables are not only re-purposing resources, but come from a local source!

Treat them with care so we can enjoy them for many years!

Love, The Motley
