Know before you buy
Canaletto Walnut offers a warm, classic wood grain with rich, honey-toned undertones. Burned Oak provides a darker, more contemporary aesthetic with a deeper, more pronounced texture that leans into a sophisticated, moody palette.
Yes, assembly is required for this table. Due to the weight and the precision required to align the crossed metal supports with the solid wood top, we recommend having at least two people assist with the setup.
The textured finishes like Graphite, Black, Titanium, and Bronze offer a matte, industrial look that highlights the architectural shape of the base. The brushed finishes, such as Brushed Bronze or Brushed Grey, provide a subtle metallic sheen that adds depth and a more artisanal, reflective quality to the design.
The 98.5-inch table comfortably seats 8 to 10 people, while the 118-inch version is designed to accommodate 10 to 12 guests. The barrel shape allows for slightly more flexible seating arrangements along the curved sides compared to a standard rectangular table.
The wood top is finished to protect the natural material, but as with all solid wood furniture, it is sensitive to moisture and heat. We recommend using coasters and placemats to preserve the finish and wiping up spills immediately to prevent long-term damage.
