Cintesi\'s Solid Oak table tops are created from finger jointed Oak. Finger joints are precisely cut into the pieces of timber, and each joint is then glued in place, this creates a product with stability and strength superior to the original pieces of timber. Bases are sold separately. Wood is a natural material, affected by temperature and moisture we recommend you avoid placing hot items directly on the surface and use coaters for drinks. Please see our Furniture Care Guide for full information on caring for this product.
