Know before you buy
The white laminate and black linoleum options offer distinct textures and maintenance profiles. Laminate is highly resistant to scratches and moisture, while linoleum provides a softer, matte surface that is naturally anti-static and develops a unique patina over time.
With a length of approximately 72 inches, this table comfortably seats six people. You can fit eight if you use narrower chairs and place two at each end.
The birch veneer is treated to be durable for daily use, but like all natural wood surfaces, it should be kept dry. We recommend using coasters and placemats to protect the finish from heat and liquid spills.
Yes, the table arrives flat-packed and requires assembly. The process involves attaching the signature L-shaped legs to the tabletop, which is straightforward if you follow the included instructions.
Alvar Aalto’s iconic L-leg design is engineered to be space-efficient. Because the legs are positioned at the corners, they provide ample clearance and allow chairs to be tucked in easily without obstruction.
Absolutely. Its standard dining height of 29.1 inches makes it an excellent ergonomic choice for a spacious home office or studio workspace, offering plenty of surface area for monitors and documents.
