Solid Solid Wood Table "Deep Island" – 250 cm – Recycled Wood with History
The solid wood table from the "Deep Island" series stands for traditional craftsmanship, sustainable materials, and expressive design. Made from recycled solid wood beams and planks, this table impresses with its striking presence and high-quality workmanship.
The massive tabletop measures approximately 250 cm in length and 100 cm in width. With an overall height of 79 cm and a thickness of about 10 cm, this solid wood table is a real heavyweight – solid throughout and without doubling.
The teak wood used comes from 70 to 100-year-old houses and bridges on the Indonesian islands of Java and Bali. In traditional craftsmanship, the woods were joined together to form a new tabletop. Great care was taken to preserve the original traces and characteristics of the wood – resulting in a dining table full of character and authenticity.
The surface was lightly brushed to highlight the natural texture of the wood and then sealed with a high-quality furniture wax. On request, the tabletop is also available in a silk-matte lacquered finish.
The table stands on a crescent-shaped table frame, made of raw steel by hand. The construction not only offers stability but also completes the design with an industrial accent.

Care Instructions for Your Solid Wood Table – How to Keep It Beautiful for Life
A solid wood table is not an off-the-shelf piece of furniture. It is a piece of nature coming to your home – and that is exactly why it needs special attention. Here we explain in detail and step by step how to care for your table, position it 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. Since these surfaces are structured differently, 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 is alive – 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 lead to problems in the wrong environment.
Wood reacts particularly sensitively 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 Are the Ideal Values for Your Indoor Climate?
To keep your table stable over time, we recommend a balanced indoor climate:
- Room temperature: approximately 18–22 °C
- Humidity: approximately 45–60 %
Within this range, the wood continues to work but within a normal, non-critical scope. Anything significantly warmer, colder, or drier causes 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 Life?
Oiled, waxed, or sealed surfaces are open-pored. This means:
- The wood can continue to absorb and release moisture.
- The surface feels warm, natural, and lively.
- Small damages can often be repaired by 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 prevent fine scratches from dirt particles.
- Immediately absorb spilled liquids so nothing can penetrate the wood.
- Do not use caustic or acidic cleaning agents.
Which Cleaners Should You Absolutely Avoid?
- Microfiber cloths with coarse, abrasive texture
- Abrasive cleaners and scouring sponges
- Glass cleaners or cleaners with alcohol
- Cleaners with solvents or strong surfactants
- "All-purpose cleaners" that strongly degrease fats and oils
How Often Do You Need to Re-Care – 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 intensively (e.g., as a family dining table), a shorter interval may be advisable.
Here is the ideal procedure for re-care:
- 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 easy to care for 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 Keep in Mind with a Lacquered Table?
Lacquer offers good protection – but not against everything. Pay special attention to the following points:
- Never place hot pots, pans, or casserole dishes 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 environment can stress the wood – especially if there are temperature differences on and inside the solid wood tabletop. 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 Happens Anyway?
The wood used for our tables has been carefully dried and stored. Usually, nothing will happen, but the above conditions can lead to problems.
Why Are Such Damages Not a Warranty Case?
Such damages are not caused by a product defect but by 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 covered by warranty.
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 life.
- Care for the surface regularly with suitable products.
We Won't Leave You Alone!
