Mike Dining Table W200 – Walnut Wax Brown

The Mike Dining Table W200 in Walnut Wax Brown measures 200 centimeters in length, providing a rectangular surface designed to seat six to eight adults comfortably. Constructed entirely from solid teak wood, the table utilizes the natural density and structural stability inherent to this hardwood species. Teak contains high levels of natural oils and rubber, which contribute to its resistance to moisture, warping, and insect damage over prolonged periods of use.

The tabletop features a flat, smooth surface formed by edge-glued teak planks arranged longitudinally to run parallel with the 200-centimeter length. This construction method minimizes seasonal expansion and contraction across the width of the table. The grain pattern of the teak remains visible across the surface, showing natural variations in tone, growth rings, and occasional pin knots unique to each harvested tree. The edges of the tabletop are cleanly squared with a slight chamfer, removing sharp corners while maintaining a profile that is visually straight and geometric.

The finish applied to the timber is a walnut wax brown formulation. This finishing process involves the application of tinted wax compounds that penetrate the upper layers of the wood pores rather than forming a thick, synthetic film on top. The walnut wax color imparts a deep, medium-brown shade with dark undertones that mimic the appearance of aged American walnut while retaining the underlying grain structure of the teak substrate. The wax finish produces a low-sheen, matte appearance rather than a high-gloss reflection. This surface treatment allows the wood to retain a natural tactile feel, though it requires periodic re-application of maintenance wax to preserve its moisture repellency and surface luster against liquid spills and daily friction.

Supporting the 200-centimeter top are four solid teak legs positioned at the extreme corners of the rectangular frame. Each leg is securely joined to the apron using mortise and tenon joinery, a traditional woodworking method that relies on interlocking wood components to distribute weight and resist lateral shifting. The legs feature a straight, square profile that tapers slightly toward the floor, creating a stable footprint that prevents wobbling on uneven flooring surfaces. The clearance from the floor to the underside of the apron measures approximately 66 centimeters, accommodating standard dining chairs with armrests and allowing users to sit with adequate legroom beneath the perimeter.

Weighing substantially due to the solid teak construction, the table requires at least two individuals for assembly and repositioning. The hardware utilized for joining the legs to the tabletop framework consists of heavy-duty steel bolts and threaded inserts embedded directly into the solid wood, ensuring that the structural connections do not loosen under regular movement or heavy loads.

In terms of physical maintenance, the solid teak composition allows the surface to be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild soap. The walnut wax brown finish is sensitive to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause gradual lightening of the pigment over time, and high-heat objects placed directly on the bare wood can leave marks, necessitating the use of protective coasters or table pads. The table is engineered specifically for indoor dining environments where humidity and temperature fluctuations remain relatively controlled, ensuring the long-term integrity of the solid wood planks and the wax finish layer.
