Example: Dining table from the "Expression" series in size 243 x 76–114 cm with glass
The reclaimed wood used comes from old tree roots and trunks from reforestation areas on the islands of Java and Bali, where the individual components of this dining table are prefabricated in small family businesses. Old tree roots are removed from the ground to give new trees space to grow. After removing the old roots from the sins of the past, new trees are planted on site. After the semi-finished tables arrive at our warehouse, the individual parts are refurbished in our in-house workshop (e.g., brushing and waxing the wood parts) and assembled.
Self-collection or prior inspection of this dining table is of course possible in our showroom in Detern (East Frisia).
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 that comes 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 constructed 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 lives – even after processing. That 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 especially sensitive to:
- too dry air
- too high or direct heat
- strong temperature fluctuations
- intense sunlight
Maybe you 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 a more elegant form.
What values are ideal 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 will still work but within a normal, non-critical scope. Anything significantly warmer, colder, or drier causes unnecessary stress on 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. That 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 completely 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 to prevent them from soaking into the wood.
- Do not use caustic or acidic cleaning agents.
Which cleaners should you absolutely avoid?
- Microfiber cloths with rough, abrasive texture
- Abrasive cleaners and scouring pads
- 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-treat – and how do you do it?
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-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 soak in 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 daily 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 harsh cleaning agents, solvents, or abrasive products.
What should you keep in mind with a lacquered table?
Lacquer provides good protection – but not against everything. Especially keep an eye on 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 location 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: Extracts 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 seasoned. Usually, nothing will happen, but the above-mentioned conditions can cause problems.
Why are such damages not covered by warranty?
Such damages are not caused by a product defect but by environmental influences that we as manufacturers or retailers 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?
- Maintain 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 daily use.
- Care for the surface regularly 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 on location. This way, you will enjoy your solid wood table for a long time – whether waxed, oiled, or lacquered.
