Know before you buy
The table is handcrafted using a combination of solid wood and engineered wood, finished with American white oak veneers. This construction method provides the aesthetic of solid oak while increasing the table's structural stability.
The intensive wire-brushing process removes the softer parts of the wood grain, resulting in a tactile, textured surface that highlights the natural character of the oak. This finish also helps mask minor scratches and wear that may occur with daily use.
Yes, the table stands at a standard 30 inches high. With a clearance of 28.5 inches underneath the tabletop, it accommodates most standard dining chairs comfortably.
The 48-inch table is ideal for intimate dining for four, while the 72-inch version comfortably seats six to eight people. Ensure you have at least 36 inches of clearance around the perimeter of the table to allow for easy movement and chair pull-out.
Because the table is artisan-crafted from natural wood, each piece will feature unique grain patterns and variations in the finish. These natural characteristics are part of the design and ensure that no two tables are identical.
