Oak tabletop options
When choosing an oak dining table with a metal base, it's important to consider the thickness of the top. You can choose from three different thicknesses: 4 cm, 5 cm, and 6 cm. The thicker the tabletop, the more robust and durable it will look in your home. A thick 6 cm oak top offers a solid foundation of strength and stability.
The edge finishes are just as important as the thickness. Choose from a straight, waterfall, or planed (live edge) design to personalize the look of your table. A waterfall edge is elegant and creates a graceful sloping line along the edges. A planed edge mimics the natural beauty of a tree trunk, giving the top a warm, organic feel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose an oak tabletop with a metal base?
The combination of warm oak with a sleek steel base creates an industrial-Japandi look: warm material + modern structure. The metal base is often also stronger and more stable than wooden legs.
Which metal types are available for the base?
Black powder-coated steel (popular), stainless steel (modern/cold), Corten steel look (warm/rusty), matte white lacquered steel, and bronze/natural steel look.
Is a steel base less warm than wooden legs?
Visually yes — steel looks more industrial and cooler. In practice, the warmth of the oak top is dominant in the room's ambiance.
How do I maintain the steel base?
Wipe dry. For powder-coated steel: avoid aggressive cleaning agents that can damage the coating. Small scratches in the coating can be polished with black shoe polish.
Which steel base is the strongest?
A continuous or double H-frame distributes the weight best for tables over 180 cm. Slender individual legs are more aesthetic but less stable under heavy load.
Can I choose a base myself for an oak tabletop?
Yes — with our 3D configurator, you can choose the leg type and color separately from the tabletop.
