Conclusion

Final conclusion: Wooden table

Our products may not be for everyone. However, if you get to know and love our products, you will quickly realize that the advantages clearly outweigh the disadvantages and largely relativize them.

Coordinating with the rest of the room is, in most cases, easier than one might think, as our types of wood are timeless and match more types of wood than one might think. Especially the Teak wood has a very compatible wood tone. The price point may initially be daunting for many of our customers. However, if you find our tables as beautiful and special as we do, then one appreciates the value of craftsmanship, sustainability, and durability, which makes the price less decisive.
