They are deliberately hand-distressed and discolored to look like antiques, and will happily make friends with whatever other antiques you have.

Dimensions: Table 38 x 90 x 30h and benches 15 x 78 x 18h. Will generously seat 8, possibly 10 or more with the benches. Maximum legroom for tall people. Put whatever fancy arm chairs you like at the ends, as there is plenty of knee room. Floor to bottom of top is 28.25 inches. The table's design is also excellent for built in banquette seating, or if using substantial arm chars all around. The top thickness is 1 3/4 so it has a nice heft. It is constructed in such a way that it comes apart in several pieces and , if desired, can ship flat, making it easier to move through doorways. It easily assembles back together with ordinary tools. It has a hand planed surface and wears our popular "living finish". We do our best to give our distressed furniture those subtle dings, scrapes and variations of color found on real antiques. These pieces will age beautifully and naturally. We give it a distressed, durable and easily repairable penetrating oil finish which requires no protection under normal dining conditions, and resists the usual suspects (iced tea, hot tea, ketchup, wine, gravy, etc etc.). Disinfectant use is incompatible with the finish, and ammonia, bleach, hypochlorous acid and many other common disinfectants should not be used. However, mild soaps such as Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds, vinegar and water solutions and otherwise are fine. We do not recommend hot pans directly from the stove unless padded very well or ideally on a trivet. We do not recommend harsh cleansers or scrub pads -- a 20 min soak with water followed by a wipe should work for any crusty stains. See less
