Windy Stables Trestle Dining Table

While the wood is finished with a clear coat to protect it, the surface retains the natural texture, nail holes, and knots inherent to century-old timber. It is not perfectly smooth like mass-produced furniture, so you may want to use a desk mat or notebook when writing.

Assembly is required, but the process is straightforward. You will need to attach the trestle base to the tabletop using the provided hardware, which typically takes two people about 30 to 45 minutes.

Yes, the authentic nail holes and knots are part of the wood's history and are not filled in. A quick wipe-down or a vacuum attachment is usually sufficient to keep the surface clean, but it is something to consider if you prefer a perfectly seamless tabletop.

The clear coat provides a protective barrier against everyday use, but it is not a heavy-duty polyurethane sealant. We recommend using coasters and placemats to prevent water rings or heat damage, as reclaimed wood is porous and can still be sensitive to moisture.

The trestle base is designed to be set back from the ends of the table, which generally allows for comfortable seating at the head and foot. However, because the base is substantial, ensure your dining chairs fit comfortably within the leg clearance provided.
