Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Sized to seat four diners at a time, this handsome wood table provides the perfect setting for entertaining al fresco. A slatted top lets rain fall through rather than collect, while a plug in the middle removes to provide space for a sun umbrella. The table is made from kapur wood, a high-density Southeast Asian hardwood with excellent weather-resistant properties. Light enough to move easily around deck or lawn, kapur requires no finishing and is exceptionally-sturdy--with enough oil to repel the worst ravages of rain, sun, and dew. Rust-resistant hardware and mortise and tenon construction also add to the piece’s strength and durability.

Before shipment, your new furniture received a generous application of teak oil. Teak oil provides protection from the ultraviolet sunrays. Left untreated, Kapur will weather to a soft warm shade of gray similar to the weathering of teak. If you prefer to prevent this weathering process, you may apply additional coats of teak oil. The frequency of necessary teak oil applications will depend on the intensity of the sun in your environment, but typically, one or two coats per year is sufficient. Teak oil can usually be found at a marine dealer, hardware store, or internet dealer. If you allow your furniture to weather, you may later decide that you would want to restore it to its original condition. This is possible by using teak cleaner products, also available at most marine dealers and internet dealers. After following the instructions for cleaning, you will want to apply a coat of teak oil to prevent the weathering process.

The table’s preassembled components fit together easily with the help of an included allen wrench. This item measures 43 inches in diameter and by 29 inches tall.--Mary Park

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent quality for price, May 9, 2005

I did not know anything about Kapur wood when I saw this table on Amazon.com. I did some research, and after being satisfied by what I had read concerning Kapur, I purchased the table. It arrived in excellent condition, and was easy to assemble - you simply need to attach the legs. The finish is beautiful and comes with a generous coat of teak oil to protect it from the elements. The table is very sturdy and looks gorgeous on my patio. Looking at the wwod, you can tell that Kapur is a very dense and durable wood. This is an excellent substitute to teak, which I find simply too expensive.

3 things bothered me about this table. One, a shipping company called Eagle brought the package later and for 4 times what UPS charged for 2 other Strathwood packages that were even larger than the table. Two, I make furniture now and then; their definition of mortise and tenon joinery is in need of updating- this table lacks mortises and tenons completely. It is screwed and bolted together like other cheap tables. Three, Strathwood, or their distributor, sent two wrong items in place of the items I chose. Caveat emptor.

This review is from: Strathwood Basic Elements 43-Inch Round Dining Table (Lawn & Patio)

My wife and I recently purchase a whole suite of Strathwood products to populate our redwood deck. I researched Kapur wood since I hadn't heard of it before, and I was impressed enough to order the Basic Elements 43" table, 30" folding table and 3 pairs of the folding chairs. We are wonderfully pleased with our new patio furniture, it came quickly, it's beautiful, and the Kapur wood looks like it will last through the elements. We also are have had a wonderful experience entirely with Amazon.com! We got their great "free shipping" deal with most of the order and when we got our last piece in, the 43" table we continued our great experience with Amazon.

I'll explain. I wasn't sure about something concerning the table when it arrived, so I went online to look at it again. Seemingly, to my dismay, all the items I had just purchased and received were being sold at a lower cost. I emailed Amazon not sure what to expect and they refunded the difference in the price I paid and the new sales prices of all the pieces I ordered. Now that is what I call "Customer Service!" Kudos to the entire team at Amazon, and you can quote me wherever you would like!
