The walnut used for this set is quite special. Nearly all of the wood has spectacular color and much of it is figured. The table measures 46 1/2″ W X 86″L X 30 1/2″ H and seats 8 people. The table top is made from just 3, large and beautiful slabs with great grain and color and is 1 3/4″ thick. The 8 matching chairs have very nice lumbar support and the upholstery is extremely plush. Much of the wood in the chairs is very figured- similar to a fancy gun stock or musical instrument.
