Make the most of summer with the beautiful Oxford Garden 67-inch Dining Table. This sturdy and well-balanced table will be the perfect addition to your patio or yard as you spend time outdoors with family and friends. It is designed to accommodate both arm and armless seating. The round tabletop features bead board detailing within the borders of an octagon, displaying the quality craftsmanship of this essential patio dining piece.

Crafted from durable shorea, well-known for its natural resistance to decay and insects, the table weathers with age to a beautiful silver-gray color like teak. Shorea is a hardwood with properties quite similar to teak, but it is much stronger and heavier. Since shorea is more abundant in nature, it's comparatively less expensive than teak, giving you exceptional quality and workmanship at an extremely reasonable price.
About Shorea Wood
Shorea is possibly the best wood choice for outdoor furniture. Related to Burma teak, this hardwood grows naturally and plentifully in the Pacific Rim countries, making it considerably less expensive than teak. Because shorea contains an abundance of natural oils, is dense, heavy and hard, it is highly resistant to rot, bug infestation, weather and marring.
Shorea is strong and weather-resistant enough to be left untreated. If left untreated, each piece will weather to a nice shade of gray. The weathering process will change the color, but the grain will still be smooth. There is no splitting or splintering. You may treat each piece of your set with Teak Oil to prolong weathering. Each piece is durable, classic and elegant.
An Eco-Friendly Choice
We realize the importance of preserving our environment. Our Shorea wood is imported from Java, which is diligently managed by its government to ensure wise, renewable harvesting and fair prices. Rest assured you are making a responsible choice when you purchase this set crafted from Shorea.
