Oval Tree Table / Coffee Table "Lakeside“ made of solid teak wood – handcrafted unique piece from an old tree trunk
The oval tree table Coffee Table Lakeside is a true one-of-a-kind and impressively combines the original power of nature with careful craftsmanship. This coffee table was made from a solid slice of teak wood taken from the lower root area of an old tree trunk. The resulting grain is particularly expressive and reminiscent of the characteristic structures of root wood.
A central design detail is a naturally formed growth fusion located in the center of the tabletop. This was refined with a glass plate in elaborate manual work. The inserted glass inlay is 10 mm thick and emphasizes the uniqueness of the wood by revealing the original structure of the tree trunk.
The tabletop is on average 5 cm thick, not laminated but solid – an important quality feature that makes the Tree Table "Lakeside" a durable and robust piece of furniture.
The oval tabletop is supported by three V-shaped legs made of brushed stainless steel. These elements were also handcrafted and provide not only stability but also a stylish contrast to the rustic wood structure.
This tree table / coffee table is excellently suited for both modern and rustic living concepts and is more than just a piece of furniture – it brings the story of a decades-old tree trunk directly into your home.

Care instructions for your solid wood table – so it stays beautiful for a lifetime
A solid wood table is not an off-the-shelf piece of furniture. It is a piece of nature that comes to your home – and that is why it needs special attention. Here we explain in detail and step by step how to care for your table, set it up correctly, and protect it long-term from damage such as cracks, warping, or stains.
The following instructions apply to waxed, oiled, sealed (e.g., Teak-Shield) and lacquered surfaces. Especially because these surfaces have different structures, it is important to know how to treat each table optimally.
Why does solid wood need care at all?
How does wood react in your home?
Solid wood lives – even after processing. This means: it absorbs moisture, releases it, and reacts to temperature fluctuations. This is what gives the material its beauty but can cause problems in the wrong environment.
Wood is particularly sensitive to:
- too dry air
- too high or direct heat
- strong temperature fluctuations
- intense sunlight
You might know it from grandma’s old wooden doors: in summer they stuck, in winter they closed more easily. This basic principle also applies to your solid wood table, just in an elegant form.
What values are ideal for your indoor climate?
To keep your table stable in the long term, we recommend a balanced indoor climate:
- Room temperature: approximately 18–22 °C
- Humidity: approximately 45–60 %
Within this range, the wood still works but in a normal, uncritical frame. Anything significantly warmer, colder, or drier leads to unnecessary stress in the wood.
How do you properly care for oiled, waxed, or sealed surfaces?
What does an "open-pored" surface mean for your daily routine?
Oiled, waxed, or sealed surfaces are open-pored. That means:
- The wood can continue to absorb and release moisture.
- The surface feels warm, natural, and lively.
- You can often repair small damages yourself with proper care.
This openness is exactly why you need to be a bit more attentive with care than with a fully sealed lacquer surface.
How do you clean oiled or waxed surfaces daily?
Daily and regular cleaning is uncomplicated if you follow a few basic rules:
- Wipe the table with a soft cotton cloth.
- Use a slightly damp, never dripping wet cloth.
- Remove dust regularly to avoid fine scratches from dirt particles.
- Immediately absorb spilled liquids to prevent penetration into the wood.
- Do not use caustic or acidic cleaning agents.
Which cleaners should you definitely avoid?
- Microfiber cloths with coarse, abrasive texture
- Abrasive cleaners and sponges
- Glass cleaners or cleaners containing alcohol
- Cleaners with solvents or strong surfactants
- "All-purpose cleaners" that strongly degrease fats and oils
How often do you need to re-treat – and how do you proceed?
Depending on use, we recommend re-oiling or re-waxing your table every 6–18 months. If the table is used very intensively (e.g., as a family dining table), a shorter interval may be advisable.
Here is the ideal procedure for re-treatment:
- Thoroughly clean the tabletop from dust and dirt and let it dry completely.
- Apply a suitable wood oil or furniture wax thinly and evenly with a soft cloth.
- Let the care product penetrate for a few minutes.
- Carefully remove excess oil or wax with a fresh cotton cloth.
- Let the surface dry well for several hours, ideally overnight.
How do you properly care for a lacquered solid wood table?
A lacquered surface is very low-maintenance in everyday life if you observe these points:
- Use a soft, slightly damp cloth for cleaning.
- Wipe afterwards with a dry cloth to avoid water spots.
- Avoid sharp cleaning agents, solvents, or abrasive products.
What should you consider with a lacquered table?
Lacquer offers good protection – but not against everything. Especially keep the following points in mind:
- Never place hot pots, pans, or casserole dishes directly on the table without coasters.
- Do not drag heavy or rough objects across the surface; lift them instead.
- Always use a cutting board when cutting.
What is the ideal location for your solid wood table?
Where should your table definitely not be placed?
Your new table prefers a somewhat calmer environment. A new location can stress the wood – especially if there are temperature differences on and in the solid wood panel. In all these places, the wood is exposed to strong climate fluctuations:
- Direct sunlight: Heats the surface strongly, dries it out, and can promote cracks (e.g., conservatory, south side).
- Fireplaces and radiators: Cause uneven heating and dryness. Uneven tensions often lead to cracks.
- Underfloor heating: Allows very warm air to rise directly to the underside and creates tensions that can cause cracks.
- Dry winter air: Removes moisture and causes the wood to shrink.
What to do if something does happen?
The wood used for our tables was carefully dried and seasoned. Usually, nothing will happen, but the above circumstances can lead to problems.
Why are such damages not a warranty case?
Such damages do not result from a product defect but from environmental influences that we as manufacturer or retailer cannot control. The wood simply reacts naturally to unnatural conditions.
Therefore, cracks caused by incorrect indoor climate, heat, dryness, or extreme location conditions are not considered a warranty case.
How do you best protect your table permanently?
- Keep humidity in the range of 45–60 %.
- Avoid direct sunlight on the tabletop.
- Do not place the table directly next to fireplaces, stoves, or strong radiators.
- Avoid using underfloor heating under your table.
- Use coasters, placemats, and felt gliders in everyday use.
- Regularly care for the surface with suitable products.
You are not alone!
Even with the best care, wood remains a natural product. If you discover cracks, stains, or other damages, just contact us. We will help you with recommendations for care products, repair kits, and tips for the location. This way, you will enjoy your solid wood table for a long time – whether waxed, oiled, or lacquered.
