Defined by Stave Width and Table Thickness
Classic White Oak tabletops feature narrow, consistent staves that provide both strength and a calm visual flow. Each top measures between 1 1/8″ and 1 3/8″ per stave and is 1 1/2″ thick, adjustable for a lighter or heavier look. The honey finish, used in fine furniture for over a century, brings warmth and balance to modern or rustic interiors. Its golden hue softens bright spaces while adding depth to darker designs, making it a favorite for timeless restaurant settings with a touch of warmth.
