Lead Time
Our manufacture lead time is provided as a general estimate (detailed at the top of this page) and depends on the item and quantities ordered. This time may change depending on unavoidable delays created by load-shedding, material availability or other circumstances which may be out of our hands.
All our goods are made by hand, with care and attention to detail and therefore these estimates may take slightly longer than originally estimated. We offer a balance of quality and value which is hard to find, but we do ask for patience when more time is needed by our team.
Kindly highlight any deadlines or deliver constraints you may have to us prior to ordering as we generally aren’t able to fast track production ahead of older orders.

Our Oak
Our oak is sourced from sustainable importers and predominantly consists of the American White (referred to as white oak) varietal. We select a grade of oak which features knots and subtle grain variation, all of which lend to producing top surfaces which are attractive and structurally sound.
We manufacture all our goods from two standard finished thicknesses, namely 22mm or 34mm solid oak . The specific thickness used will be detailed within the product page, along with other options like staining or edge profiling.
We don’t use set widths for table top panels, rather we select the best oak panels available to us in order to create uniform surface that best showcases the character of the wood. We guarantee that there will be no standout dark panels (“zebra stripes”) and that any knots will be strategically spread out to serve as an attractive feature.
Manufacture & Joinery
All our goods are constructed using various combinations of mortis and tenon, biscuit, dowel and pocket screw jointing with commercial grade wood adhesives to ensure a sound, solid build that will last.
Our tables in particular use wooden biscuits along the length of each oak panel to create a structurally sound table top. The top is then secured to the table frame using z-clip fasteners which are designed to allow the top to expand and contract throughout the seasons, resulting in no splitting or cracking.
Due to the nature of the natural material being worked with, we allow for a measurement tolerance of up to 5mm for any length/width/height, and up to 2mm for any thickness.
Treatment & Finishing
We use Rubio Monocoat which is a professional grade product to treat all our top surfaces. This treatment preserves the oaks natural light tones while providing stain, wear and moisture protection and is ideal for hard-wearing surfaces.
Our tried and tested standard treatment (see example here) is a matt natural finish with a subtle sheen that brings out the woods unique characteristics and grain. The final treated surface is as close to raw sanded wood as possible while protecting it from stains, moisture and general wear and tear.
All our products come treated and ready to use upon delivery with no further action needed on your part. See our Treatment & Finishing page here.
Maintenance & Usage
Care and maintenance instructions will be printed out and emailed to you upon order completion.
In general, avoid leaving any oils, chemicals or liquids on your top surfaces to avoid permanent marking. Your surfaces are protected against spills, but always clean them away immediately using a non-abrasive cloth, or if needed, a drop of dishwashing liquid. Leaving oils, chemicals or liquids overnight will cause stains, as these penetrate through the wood grain. The biggest culprits are pot plants and glasses left overnight. Do not use any aerosol or chemical based applications (eg Mr Min) as this damages the surface treatment.
–
Unless otherwise detailed, all our goods are strictly manufactured and treated for indoor use only. If you are considering purchasing an item for an exterior space like a covered patio, balcony or a similar area, please check with us first so we can advise accordingly.
Always keep your goods inside (balconies/patios are outside), and out of direct sunlight/rain/wind to avoid weathering and damage. Your goods are strictly built for interior/indoor use only, as they require a stable environment to avoid deformation. As a general rule, direct sunlight and excessive heat = yellowing and possible splitting. Additionally, we also recommend rotating your goods every 6-12 months to balance out any sun exposure they may be getting (ie one end may be getting sun all year while the other doesn’t).
