1. Before the purchase :: Recognizing real solid wood
Solid wood is not always the same as solid wood,… unfortunately, the definitions often differ. Solid wood means: The tabletop and supporting parts are completely made of wood,… and continuously, not veneered. At Tischonkel, only real, solid woods like solid Teak wood, mango wood or Suar wood are used. You can feel this quality, and it will last for many years.
Tip: Ask specifically: Is it really solid wood or veneered wood? Real solid wood tables are significantly more robust and durable.

2. Type of wood: Which solid wood table should I buy?
Each type of wood has its own properties and also differences. Depending on the type of wood, the appearance, hardness, and maintenance effort of your table vary. At Tischonkel, you have a wide selection of different types of wood, each bringing its own characteristics:
| Type of wood | Features |
|---|---|
| Teak wood | Extremely robust and also weather-resistant, easy to care for, naturally oiled |
| Mango | Classic wood color, durable, versatile to combine with other types of wood |
| Suar wood | Expressive grain, unique character, often as a log table |
More information about the materials used can be found on our overview page in the category „Dining Tables“.

3. Processing and stability :: Not every solid wood table is truly solid
Whether you can buy a solid wood table is easily recognized by its processing. At GERKEN Wohndesign, you will find exclusively solid wood tables with elaborately crafted joints, extremely solid table tops with a thickness of up to 10 cm, and equally stable frames. Wobbly constructions or inferior screw connections are hard to find with us.

Practical tip: Pay attention to details such as the thickness of the table top (often 6–10 cm at tischonkel.de). This shows the quality and ensures a solid appearance. 20222_7486d0-16> |
