I’ve been working with resin long enough to see trends come and go—and I get asked all the time: “Is there still a market for epoxy tables?” The short answer? Yes. But not the way most people think. If you’re looking to sell, buy, or build, here’s what’s working in 2025—and what’s not.
Quick Answer: Yes, But Not in the Way Most People Think
The “cheap resin table” space is saturated
Let’s be real: Etsy and Amazon are flooded with low-cost epoxy tables. Mass-produced river tables, poor-quality resin, questionable finishes. That part of the market? It’s noisy, and it’s racing to the bottom.
But the demand for quality, custom, and luxury epoxy tables is growing
What is thriving is the high-end space. Clients want intentional design. Unique wood slabs. Custom pigments and design-forward ideas. Pieces that don’t look like everyone else’s.
Most people don’t want to DIY — they want done right
I used to get a lot of “how do I make one of these?” Now it’s more like “can you make one for me?” The more people understand what goes into a build, the more they want it done professionally.
Why People Still Love (and Buy) Epoxy Tables
They’re functional art — not just furniture
You can’t say that about a basic coffee table from a big box store. Resin tables demand attention—and they deliver beauty with utility.
Each piece is personal and one-of-a-kind
No two epoxy resin tables are the same. That uniqueness is what buyers are after—especially for statement pieces like our epoxy dining tables or resin console tables.
They blend nature with modern design in a way most furniture can’t
Wood gives it soul. Resin gives it structure and edge. That combo just *works*, especially in contemporary homes and spaces.
Who’s Actually Buying These Tables Right Now?
Homeowners doing full remodels or new builds
They’re looking for wow-factor pieces—dining tables, waterfall islands, statement desks. Epoxy tables fit perfectly into custom builds.
Interior designers sourcing for clients
Designers are always hunting for one-of-a-kind pieces. They love being able to collaborate and bring a custom vision to life.
Restaurants, boutiques, and offices that want to stand out
I’ve done builds for retail spaces, salons, tech offices—you name it. Businesses love epoxy furniture because it turns their space into part of the brand.
Sentimental buyers — weddings, memorials, heirlooms with resin inlays
This part is powerful. I’ve preserved everything from wedding flowers to memorial sand from a loved one’s favorite beach. People want furniture that means something—like the stories in this floral piece or this river rock table.
Where the Resin Table Market Isn’t Working Anymore
Mass-produced epoxy tables on Amazon and Wayfair
Sure, they’re cheaper—but they’re also flat, lifeless, and often yellow within months. It’s furniture with no story.
Low-cost sellers racing to the bottom on Etsy
Competing on price alone is a losing game. Customers looking for $400 river tables aren’t your real audience if you’re building quality.
“One-size-fits-all” river tables without design intention
Buyers are smarter now. They can spot a cookie-cutter table a mile away. Intentionality matters more than ever. If it’s not built with care, it shows.
What’s Actually Thriving in This Market
Custom commissions based on story, space, or memory
When the table fits the person—whether through the colors, the wood, or the objects embedded in the resin—that’s what sells. I’ve shared a few of those builds in this cardinal-inspired table and this underwater series.
High-end tables made from rare wood species
Walnut, elm, curly maple, and reclaimed woods are still in high demand. Combine those with clean resin work, and you’ve got something no catalog can offer.
Artistic collaborations — think resin art meets interior design
I’ve partnered with other makers and artists to build tables that feel like installations. Clients love that level of creativity and trust it over trendy replicas.
Branded or signature lines (not just “another river table”)
When your work has a recognizable style, clients come looking for you—not just “an epoxy table.” Our Blue Odyssey and Northern Cardinal collections are proof of that.
My Experience Selling Epoxy Tables in 2025
I started with one table in my apartment — now I ship across the U.S.
It wasn’t fast or flashy. Just one solid build at a time. Word got out, and the market followed. You can see one of those early builds here.
I’ve found more success slowing down, doing fewer but better builds
It’s tempting to chase volume—but what works for me is focusing on 1–2 premium tables a month and giving them everything I’ve got.
Clients are more excited when they’re part of the design process
The more collaborative the build, the more connected people feel to the final piece. They’re not just buying a table—they’re part of making it. You can see how we work together on this page.
Final Take: Yes, There’s a Market — But You Need to Stand Out
The resin table trend isn’t dead — it’s evolving
The mass-produced trend is fading. But custom, high-quality epoxy resin furniture? Still going strong—and getting more refined.
If you’re an artist, a woodworker, or a designer with a point of view, this space still has a ton of room
What buyers want now is vision. Personality. Story. You don’t need to chase trends—you just need to do something real. If you need help selling your designs, we’re starting to feature U.S. woodworkers' finished pieces at The Resin Society. Our goal is to get more eyes on your work and help clients find their dream table.
People don’t want what’s trending — they want what’s theirs
Epoxy tables are personal. That’s what keeps the market alive. And in my experience? That’s what makes the work worth doing.
Thanks for taking the time to read—I really appreciate it. I hope something in my process (or my mistakes) helps you along the way. If you want a custom piece or hit a wall building your own, feel free to drop a comment or reach out—happy to help. Have a blessed day!
