I am an eclectic designer. I want pieces of furniture that work well together because not all of my woods are the same. Actually, if you are looking for an absolutely "oak-like" finish - this isn't it! The ability to manipulate woods for commercial production has lead the wood furniture industry to make available products that are easier now to assemble with more finishes than ever before. Because the finish simulations are not always "exact", the variations can be a little different than what was advertised . . . and that works perfectly for me in this case!
I have a leather couch that you pass by while going into the small dining room where you will find the table. The wood accents on the leather couch have almost the exact same finish as the table. I am happier with the actual finish than I would have been if it were more true to the "oak" look! I love the barrel pedestal. It is solid.
I had my knee replaced 8.11.2010 and knew I would be having company come to help me. 6 of the last 7 days I have had company join me for dinner (which they brought - Nice!) at my new table. My chairs are black, mission style with great custom cushions. I feel like the table is a custom item, because it fits in so well.
I am so pleased with my new table for my own personal uses, as well as welcoming company to sit down with me for conversation or food!"..." Read more
