FAQs

A trestle dining table consists of a long tabletop supported by vertical end posts and a central connecting stretcher, a structural design rooted in medieval and traditional English furniture making.

Traditional pieces utilize solid English oak constructed with hand-cut joinery, pegged mortise and tenon joints, exposed key wedges, and hand-adzed surfaces that highlight the natural grain.

Authentic handcrafted pieces feature distinct hand-adzed tool marks across the surface, pegged timber joints, keyed stretchers, and natural signs of age-related oxidisation in the oak.

An oak refectory table pairs seamlessly with neutral linen textiles, woven seagrass rugs, and contemporary minimalist pendant lighting to balance rustic texture with modern warmth.

Preserve solid oak by dusting with a soft microfibre cloth, applying beeswax polish sparingly along the timber grain twice a year, and keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and extreme humidity.
