The Artless occidental table is composed of a supremely strong material, 100% afromosia wood. The afromosia boards drive the design and highlight the incredible beauty and durability of this West African species. The table’s clean and elegant design paired with the durability of the wood, guarantees a product which can withstand any environment. We hand-finish the table with an outdoor oil rub. Each table comes with a cover in our zig-zag fabric.
Love it!! You have to care for the top with a special oil that comes with the table. The wood can begin to look thirsty at times. Applying the oil takes care of this very easily. The table comes fully assembled and was difficult to get into my space. It is very heavy. I recommend paying for the service to have the table placed in the room in which it is going. My husband and I could not have moved it from the garage into the house on our own. The top is less raw/rustic than I thought it might look. Aside from a few knots in in the wood it looks very finished. I had a hard time picking chairs to go with the table. In the end I bought a simple white leather chair with very simple stainless legs. The base of the table is beautiful and I didn't want the legs of 6 chairs competing with it. Likewise I did not want to put chairs at either end of the the table to interfere with the view of the base. It will seat 8 comfortably.. Madeleine. Memphis, TN. Sat Aug 06 2016
