Know before you buy
The clear tempered glass top offers a light, airy aesthetic that showcases the intricate design of the hourglass pedestals. The ceramic top provides a more substantial, textured surface that is highly resistant to scratches and heat, making it a practical choice for high-traffic dining areas.
The pedestals are positioned to allow for comfortable seating along the sides of the table. Because the base features two distinct hourglass columns, you can generally seat guests between the pedestals without obstruction, though it is best to measure your chairs to ensure they tuck in properly.
Yes, due to the weight of the materials and the precision required to align the double pedestals with the tabletop, professional assembly is highly recommended. The table arrives in multiple components that require careful handling to ensure stability.
The Elika table offers several finishes, including Canaletto Walnut, various ash wood stains, and closed-pore matte lacquers. We recommend ordering wood samples if you are trying to coordinate the base with existing pieces in your dining room.
The rectangular, oblong, and oval options all utilize the same double pedestal system, but they change the flow of your room. The oval and oblong shapes soften the visual impact in smaller spaces, while the rectangular option provides a more structured, formal look.
For the wood base, use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away dust and spills, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes that contain silicone, as these can damage the natural finish of the Canaletto Walnut or ash wood over time.
