I need a corner table and saw a cool Heywood Wakefield in the local Craigslist,which is perfect size and style.The only nbegative is it's blonde and will be bridging two Eames Chairs;(Walnut and Rosewood).Do you think its okay to juxtapose all those wood tones together,or just hold out for a darker piece? I suppose I can just buy the Heywood piece and stain it, too.I see the ash Nelson benches with black legs,so it makes me wonder.

if the room is large enough i see no problem
they have been mixing wood for a long time.
I have a nelson blonde console next to Dunbar walnut cabinet and in the same room with CADO teak shelves looks just fine,

I agree
I've got ash (new), ash (old), walnut, birch, aspen, and cherry in my bedroom...all of 100sf. As long as its different enough from what you've already got.
