Know before you buy
The black oil finish penetrates the European white oak to darken the grain while creating a water-repellent barrier. This treatment works in tandem with the wood’s naturally high tannin content to resist the elements.
Yes, the wood is designed to develop a unique patina as it is exposed to the environment. This natural aging process is a characteristic feature of the European white oak used in the 98.6°F collection.
The table is crafted from durable, weather-resistant timber specifically intended for outdoor environments. However, like all natural wood furniture, its lifespan is extended if it is covered or stored during extreme weather conditions.
Because the table is crafted from solid European white oak, the surface can be sanded and refinished if it sustains scratches or wear over the years. This allows you to maintain the piece's integrity and aesthetic for a much longer lifespan.
Each table is meticulously crafted to order at De La Espada's solar-powered factory in Portugal. This facility emphasizes sustainable production methods alongside traditional woodworking techniques.
