Solid Oak Wood Coffee Table

Our solid oak coffee tables, renowned for their timeless elegance and enduring strength, undergo a meticulous manufacturing process. The journey begins with the selection of premium oak for its strength, grain patterns, and distinctive character. 

The chosen logs undergo kiln drying, a controlled process using heat and airflow to reduce moisture content to a specific level. This crucial step prevents warping, cracking, and ensures structure integrity over time. 

Seasoned logs are then cut into planks of desired thickness using band saws. Depending on the design, we may use various joinery techniques like mortise & tenon joints, dowel joints or dovetail joints to assemble different individual components.

To enhance the natural beauty of the oak, we apply eco-friendly stains or oils to highlight the wood's grain patterns and rich tones. Finally, a layer of protective sealant is applied to safeguard the wood from everyday wear and tear, moisture, and stains, ensuring the furniture's longevity.

Key Benefits

• Inherently Durable: The inherent density, a result of its tight wood grain, renders oak furniture resistant to wear and tear. This hardwood's natural robustness ensures enduring strength, making it exceptionally durable against the challenges of daily use.
• Natural Beauty: Solid oak furniture eloquently displays the wood's allure through distinctive grain patterns, knots, and warm hues, infusing your home with character and rustic charm, creating a timeless and visually pleasing appeal.
• Resistant to Warping: Kiln drying reduces warping and cracking in solid oak by carefully controlling the moisture content. The process removes excess moisture, preventing uneven shrinkage and expansion that can lead to warping, ensuring the wood maintains stability and structural integrity over time.
• Wipe-clean Surface: Our solid oak tables boast a wipe-clean surface, thanks to the protective finishes. These coatings not only enhance the wood's natural beauty but also provide a barrier against stains, making regular cleaning effortless and ensuring long-lasting, pristine appearance.
• Versatile Style: Oak's adaptable nature shines through its ability to embrace various finishes and styles. Whether showcasing a sleek, modern look or exuding traditional charm, solid oak effortlessly aligns with diverse design preferences and interior aesthetics.
• Rectangular Coffee Table: Tailored for rectangular living rooms, this coffee table boasts ample surface area for both practical functionality and stylish displays. The long shape fits seamlessly in linear room layouts, creating a harmonious and balanced visual flow.
• Extra Shelf: The additional shelf underneath the tabletop expands your storage capacity, allowing you to neatly tuck away magazines, games, blankets, or everyday essentials, keeping your living room clutter-free.

Care Guide

• Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to regularly dust the surface of your oak wood furniture, preventing the buildup of dirt and debris.
• Spills and Stains: Address spills and stains promptly. Blot up any liquids with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Cleaning Solution: For occasional deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution (like a few drops of dish soap in warm water). Apply the solution to a damp cloth, wring it out well to avoid excess moisture, and wipe down the table surface. Dry thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.
• Protect from Heat and Moisture: While your oak coffee table boasts a clear protective lacquer, it's still wise to use coasters for glasses and hot mugs to minimise the risk of heat damage and water rings. This simple practice helps preserve the table's pristine surface for years to come.

Sizing Guide

Distance from Seating: Leave approximately 45-60cm between the coffee table and the seating to ensure an unrestricted flow within the living room and ample space for comfortable movement. 

Measure Your Sofa: Aim for a coffee table that’s roughly two-thirds the length of your sofa for a balanced and proportional look. 

Height: Aim for a coffee table that sits within 5-10cm of your sofa's seat height. This ensures a comfortable reaching distance for items on the table, making it convenient for activities such as grabbing a magazine or setting down a cup.

Factor in Other Furniture: Leave a distance of approximately 75cm between the coffee table and other pieces of furniture, such as TVs or armchairs to prevent a cluttered feel. 

Consider The Shape of Your Living Room:

• For smaller living rooms, round or oval coffee tables will help create a more open and spacious feel. 
• For long & narrow living rooms, a rectangular coffee table will fit perfectly as it elongates the room visually, balancing out the narrowness.
• For large & open living rooms, square or round coffee tables will add visual interest and definition to a large space. Square tables are ideal for creating distinct seating areas, while round tables encourage conversation and open flow.
• For L-Shaped living rooms, round or oval coffee tables help soften the angles of the L-shaped layout and provide easy access from all sides. They also create a more fluid and cohesive look.
