Know before you buy
The Cartesio features a built-in leaf storage system, allowing you to expand the surface area quickly without needing to store extra panels in a separate closet. The extension is integrated directly into the table's frame for seamless transitions between everyday use and hosting.
Yes, the base is engineered with sloping legs that converge at the bottom to create a robust, closed structure. This geometric design provides excellent stability and weight distribution, ensuring the table remains steady even when fully extended.
To maintain the finish, simply wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it immediately. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the wood's protective coating over time.
The legs are positioned to provide a sculptural focal point while still allowing for comfortable seating around the perimeter. Because the legs converge at the base, they offer more legroom than traditional four-legged tables, though it is always wise to measure your specific chair width against the table's length.
The Cartesio features an extra-thick tabletop designed to withstand the rigors of daily dining. While it is built for durability, we recommend using placemats or coasters to protect the finish from heat and moisture over the long term.
