Handcrafted in our Devon workshop, the rustic Lidster Refectory Table with its upcycled Wine Box Drawer is made from real wood and, better still, made from reclaimed, salvaged pine wood, so you can own your new furniture content in the knowledge that no new trees were cut down to make it.  It is a rustic and charming piece of furniture.  
 
The timber is sourced as locally as possible to cut down our carbon footprint.  Your reclaimed pine wood refectory table will be made from old beams and floorboards to provide timeless, rustic charm.  They are solidly constructed to last a lifetime and each one is totally unique.   Only quality salvageable timbers are used to craft our tables - meaning the tables which are created will be long-lasting and sturdy.  
 
Unevenness and small shallows in the wood are to be expected. The top of your table may not be perfectly flat as reclaimed wood is not an engineered or manufactured surface. Timbers are arranged to showcase each, bump, dip, knot and crack as these features give our pieces their individuality and charm. If you are looking for a perfectly flat surface, reclaimed wood would not be suitable.  As such, unstable items, such as wine glasses or vases may not sit flat in certain areas. 
 
The Lidster Refectory Table features a smooth, sturdy and durable table top measuring approximately two inches thick and is beautifully finished with chunky and robust turned legs.  If you need a little extra storage for cutlery or napkins, then the upcycled wine box drawer adds extra character as well as a little more storage.  Our tables are hand waxed in a medium oak finish and we then apply a coat of natural bees wax polish before despatch. 
 
Because reclaimed pine wood is often distressed and marked by the passage of time, a refectory table made from this material will feature imperfections such as nicks, scratches, or uneven surfaces. These imperfections are part of your table's character and lend it a sense of history and authenticity and should not be deemed a defect.  Reclaimed timbers by nature are rustic and imperfect. 
 
Our Reclaimed Pine Refectory Table is a versatile piece of furniture that can work well in a variety of interior styles, from rustic farmhouse to modern and industrial.  It provides a warm and inviting gathering place for family and friends and can be paired with a range of seating options, from benches to chairs.  Our Reclaimed Pine Refectory Table is a unique and charming addition to any home.
 
These tables are crafted with great care and attention and this does take time.  Every table is made to order with a lead time of approximately 4 - 6 weeks depending on levels of demand.   Two man delivery is included to a Mainland UK address to a ground floor location only.   
 
Your table will be delivered in two sections; the frame and then the tabletop.   The top will need securing to the base with wooden fixings included, but we do recommend using an electric screwdriver for ease.   Assembly Instructions and our Care Guide will be emailed to you although we recommend reading our Care Guide before purchasing reclaimed wood furniture.

Aftercare: 
Your reclaimed pine table will need nourishing with a coat of clear natural bees wax polish monthly (we recommend Parr's Clear Bees Wax Polish). We also ask our customers to give the tables a good buff with the pot of complimentary beeswax polish supplied once you have received it and it's in place to help it settle in.  Wood is a natural material that expands and contracts as it releases and absorbs moisture.  
 
The beeswax polish adds moisture and shine and keeps your table in tip top condition.  Please do not place your table in direct sunlight or next to a radiator or direct heat source as this can dry out the wood and cause cracks to appear.   Should you have underfloor heating, we recommend placing furniture pads under your table legs.
 
To prevent marks from plates, glasses and cups - we recommend coasters and placemats be used. Do not place hot dishes or plates directly onto your table - it is not heatproof.

Please note: We are not able to offer a colour matching service. All of our tables are finished in a medium wax finish; however, due to the unique nature of reclaimed wood, every piece we create is bespoke and may differ in appearance from the photographs shown. These natural variations are part of the charm and individuality of your handmade table. As such, we are unable to accept returns due to a change of heart. We also cannot take responsibility for damage resulting from failure to follow the guidance provided in our Care Guide.  Made to order furniture is non-returnable as these are custom orders and as such are non-refundable once they have been built.
