Know before you buy
The Light Oval Table comes in two lengths: 75 inches and 94.5 inches. Both models share a consistent depth of 43.5 inches and a standard dining height of 29 inches, allowing you to choose the size that best fits your dining room's scale.
No, the table does not require assembly. It is delivered as a finished piece, ensuring the structural integrity of the complex cantilevered joinery remains intact.
Oiled finishes offer a natural, matte feel that may require occasional re-oiling to maintain, while painted or stained finishes provide a more uniform look that is generally easier to wipe clean. Regardless of the finish, we recommend using coasters and placemats to protect the solid wood surface from heat and moisture.
The cantilevered leg design is engineered to maximize legroom and minimize obstruction. Because the supports are positioned to emphasize the table's 'impossible lightness,' you can comfortably place chairs around the perimeter without the legs interfering with your guests' seating positions.
No, the tabletop is constructed from lengthwise timber planks. This design choice highlights the natural grain and character of the solid wood while contributing to the table's slim, sculptural profile.
