The green oak rustic base contrasts with the contemporary stainless steel & glass top to produce a striking design. The base is unseasoned in the tradition of green oak timber framed homes. As it dries it develops its own character in the form of splits & cracks. Don’t worry it doesn’t affect the strength of the piece! The glass top is attached to the stainless steel column to form a very strong invisible bond. Top: 8mm toughened Glass with ground edges.
