The Serfontein Dining Table — Solid Oak Cants, Unmatched Character
There are dining tables, and then there is the Serfontein. Built from solid 45mm Oak with a base crafted from 120 x 120mm solid Oak cants, this is one of the most structurally impressive and visually striking tables we make. It doesn't just fill a room — it defines it.
If you've ever wanted a table that stops guests in their tracks, this is it.
What Makes the Serfontein Special
Oak cants are a type of timber cut directly from the heart of the oak tree. They are dense, incredibly strong, and filled with the kind of knots, character markings, and grain variation that mass-produced furniture simply cannot replicate. Every Serfontein base is unique — no two are ever the same.
Craftsmanship & Materials
- Solid 45mm Oak top — thick, substantial, and built to last generations
- Base crafted from solid 120 x 120mm Oak cants — raw, powerful, and full of character
- Entire table treated and protected with Rubio Monocoat Smoke 5% — a subtle, cool-toned finish that lets the wood breathe
- An investment piece, engineered to be passed down
Made to Your Dimensions
The Serfontein is available in a range of sizes to suit your dining room. Contact us to discuss your exact requirements — from intimate 6-seater configurations to grand 10-seater centrepieces.
A Note on Natural Beauty
Oak is a natural material. Grain patterns, knots, and colour tones will vary — this is the signature of something genuinely handcrafted.
