Vermont Furniture Designs Heartwood Shaker Dining Table

The finish is tailored to the wood species to best highlight its grain. Cherry and walnut are treated with a blend of linseed oil and wax, while maple is finished with tung oil and wax to provide optimal protection and a natural luster.

The table ships disassembled to ensure safe transit, but you do not need to assemble it yourself. Your purchase includes white-glove delivery, meaning the professional crew will handle the complete setup and installation in your home.

The Heartwood Shaker table is designed with a high-quality extension system that allows you to adjust the length of the table to accommodate more guests. Because each piece is handcrafted, the mechanism is built for smooth operation and long-term durability.

Because the table features a natural oil and wax finish rather than a synthetic lacquer, it is best to use coasters and placemats to prevent water rings or heat damage. You can maintain the wood's beauty by occasionally applying a high-quality furniture wax or oil as recommended for your specific wood species.

Yes, you can select from solid cherry, maple, or walnut. Keep in mind that these are natural hardwoods that will develop a unique patina over time, particularly cherry, which deepens in color as it is exposed to light.
