Is the tabletop solid wood all the way through?
Every dining table is solid wood through the entire top — teak and other dense hardwoods, no veneer over particleboard on the one surface that hosts homework, holidays, and everything between. It can be sanded and re-oiled for decades.
How do I choose the right size?
Tables are made to order, so we build to your seat count and room. Tell us the space and how many you host, and we recommend a length and overhang — measured to your room, not a stock size.
What does setup involve?
The base attaches to the top with pre-fitted bolts and figure-eight fasteners that let the wood move with the seasons. Two people, about twenty minutes, all hardware included — it comes off the truck as a table, not a kit.
How do I care for a daily-use table?
Wipe after meals with a damp cloth and dry it; use trivets under hot dishes. Re-oil the top once or twice a year — a twenty-minute ritual — and a white ring that appears lifts with a cloth and a warm dry iron.
How is a dining table shipped?
Dining tables are made to order and ship freight in a custom crate, top and base cradled separately. Photograph the crate before signing and note any damage; we provide tracking and schedule the delivery with you in advance.
Does the live edge get in the way of place settings?
No — the working surface is flattened and level; only the outer contour follows the tree. Plates, chargers, and elbows all sit on flat teak, and the irregular line lives at the rim where it belongs. We confirm your seat count fits the slab before building.
