Description
Further product informations
The natural edge is brushed and lightly sanded so that it retains its natural character. Larger knotholes, natural cracks and unevenness are sealed with a very dark, black epoxy resin. Smaller knotholes, cracks and dried wormholes are treated with wax on the surface. In terms of quality, there is no need to completely fill up every little unevenness or dried wormhole. This is especially true for the underside. The surface is then sanded flat and oiled so that you can use your solid wood panel immediately after delivery.
Custom sizes
Please choose the closest measurement. (e.g. choose a length of 180 cm if you only want your bench to be 176 cm long) After purchasing, simply send us a message with your desired size, stating the order number*.

*Please note that we have a manufacturing tolerance of 1-3 mm.
About edges
Unless you wish otherwise, our bench tops have a naturally grown plain tree edge on both long sides.
In addition, you have the choice between the above-mentioned naturally plain tree edge, a striking rustic tree edge or the edges cut straight. Due to the natural edge, a deviation of +/- 5 cm in depth is to be expected, with a rustic edge even more. However, if you choose the straight edge, the bench will be made exactly to the depth you ordered.
Evenness & tolerance
Wood is a living material and works. Light and temperature have an effect before, during and after production. We strive to keep the surfaces flat and work to millimetre precision. We have very good tools and high-quality machines, as well as qualified and talented staff. Nevertheless, we allow a tolerance of up to 3 mm, sometimes even a little more. Especially high lengths of benches, tables, as well as washstands, are and cannot be kept and manufactured 100% even. Slight unevenness is in the nature of things and has its own charm. You may achieve 100% evenness with plywood or solid wood elements that are glued together from many smaller pieces (glued wood panels with lamella widths of 3-5 cm). However, since we work with long and 20 to 40 cm wide planks that are kept very natural, this is not the case. We also allow a few millimetres of tolerance in terms of flatness.
Important information on shipping and packaging
Our solid wood benches are shipped by forwarding agent if they are not under 190 cm.
The forwarding agent will contact you by telephone and deliver to the kerbside. We therefore absolutely need a contactable telephone number.
To assemble the bench, you need a 13 mm open-end or ring spanner. You can find more information about shipping and packaging here.
Product care
For optimal care of your solid oak table, you can purchase a suitable care set. The recommended half-yearly re-oiling and smaller repairs can easily be carried out by yourself. The care set consists of a bottle of hard wax oil, hand sandpaper, a soft wax rod including a spatula and a cotton cloth for applying/wiping off the oil. You can find more information on care here.
Origin of the wood
We obtain our oak wood exclusively from controlled forestry in Lower Saxony, Brandenburg and Bavaria.
We are also committed to reforestation and have already planted 130 oak trees this year, with more to come.
Timber from Eastern European or non-European overexploitation does not stand a chance with us! Please read more about this on our values page.
