At 76cm it stands at standard dining and desk height rather than side table height, so it suits a small two-person dining table, a breakfast table, a bay window or a hallway rather than sitting beside a sofa.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eWill it work beside my sofa?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eNot as a place to put a cup down. A side table should sit level with or near your sofa arm, which is usually 55cm to 65cm, and this is considerably taller.

The pedestal base means chairs pull in from any angle without corner legs in the way, which is the advantage of a pedestal on a round top this size.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eWhat does blackened mean?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eThe finish darkens the timber while leaving the grain visible, pooling in the surface texture rather than sitting flat on top of it. That gives a depth of colour paint or lacquer cannot match, and it is why the fluting reads with so much definition.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eIs it solid oak?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA combination of blackened oak and oak veneer. That construction is standard on a pedestal piece and keeps the weight sensible at 23kg while giving the column its shape.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eWill it look exactly like the photograph?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eClose, but not identical. Each piece is individually made and the blackened finish varies slightly, so the depth of colour and the way the grain shows through will differ a little from table to table.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eDoes it need assembly?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eYes. It arrives in two packages with instructions included, which is normal for a pedestal table since the base and top ship separately.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eIs it stable?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eYes. At 23kg with a weighted pedestal base it sits firmly. As with any pedestal table, avoid leaning heavily on one edge of the top.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eWill it mark?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA dark finish shows water rings and scuffs more clearly than a mid-toned timber would, since a scratch reads as a lighter line. Use coasters and mats, particularly if you are eating at it.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eHow do I clean the fluting?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA soft dry brush or a vacuum with a brush attachment on low.
