Know before you buy

Yes, the single pedestal base is specifically designed to eliminate the clutter of four legs, providing ample legroom and allowing chairs to be tucked in easily from any angle.
Marble is a natural, porous stone that requires regular care. It should be sealed periodically and wiped clean immediately after spills to prevent staining, especially from acidic substances like wine or citrus.
Yes, this table is delivered fully assembled, so you do not need to worry about complex setup or structural installation upon arrival.
No, the Knoll Saarinen Oval Dining Table is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements can damage the finishes and the integrity of the tabletop materials.
