Is the tabletop solid wood all the way through?
Solid teak through the entire top — top, edges, and pedestal, no veneer over particleboard anywhere. Your proof is the tap and the scale: it sounds dense, not hollow, and a slab this size takes two adults to move. It also sands and re-oils for generations, which a veneer top cannot survive.
How do I choose the right size?
Tables are made to order, so we build to your seat count and room. Send the space and how many you host, and we recommend a length and overhang — measure your narrowest doorway too, since the table arrives in top and base sections.
What does setup involve?
The base attaches to the top with pre-fitted bolts and figure-eight fasteners that let the wood expand and contract with the seasons instead of splitting. Two people, about twenty minutes, every piece of hardware in the box.
How do I care for a daily-use table?
Wipe after meals with a damp cloth and dry it. Use trivets under hot dishes, keep the table a couple of feet from a heat vent through winter, and re-oil once or twice a year when the surface looks thirsty — about twenty minutes.
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 the driver leaves and note any damage on the receipt; we schedule the delivery with you and send tracking.
Will the live edge on my table match the photos?
No two slabs share an outline, so your bark line, contours, and grain arrive one of a kind — that is the provenance of your table, not a disclaimer. This table ships in separate top and base sections for safe transport and reassembles with the included hardware.
