Reclaimed Teak Dining Table (India)

Love the way it looks upon arrival. Easy to assemble. Sturdy. The wood appears to be unfinished, or at least in need of some teak wood oil, but we love it. I can a bit of warp... But it is no more than any normal reclaimed wood product. It is exactly what we were looking for at half the price of any other place.

Words cannot convey how pleased I am with this table. It arrived so quickly, just a little over a week and it was here. You can tell it was handmade and I LOVE that no trees were harmed in the making of this table. The wood is gorgeous though with some surprises that let you know it is really reclaimed and hand made. A lot of care went into making it and it was easy to put together. Just so different from everything else, you won't regret it.

Although this table is priced reasonably compared to other industrial tables, it is still over priced for the poor quality. I love the rustic imperfections of reclaimed wood, and was under the impression that previous negative reviews came from the reviewers lack of appreciation for "character," but now I regret not paying closer attention to their comments, especially those about quality. The wood top is not a thick slab. It's a thin sheet with bulky glued on edges that make it look like a thick slab top in the pictures. The base looks sturdy but does not attach securely to the top so the whole table shakes every time someone leans on it or tries to cut their food. In short, it looks sturdy, but feels flimsy. Because of the cost to return the table, we kept it, but it is a huge disappointment.

The cast iron lathe legs (obviously reproductions not antique, or ever used for that matter) were as cool as they look in the photos. However, the table top was poorly made. So much so that it was very warped with at least 15 spots filled with putty or wood blocks instead of continuous wood. A furniture maker took a look for us (we hoped we could maybe fix the warping) and told us to immediately send it back and did not believe the wood was even teak (believed it was another less expensive hard fruit wood). It IS a very cool looking table just not one of the quality needed to justify the price.
