Dining Table Tsukuba

The Dining Table Tsukuba is a large-format rectangular dining surface designed with distinct Oriental structural influences. Constructed primarily from solid teak wood, the table features a rich dark brown finish that highlights the natural grain variations and linear patterns inherent to the timber. Teak is selected for this application due to its high density, natural oil content, and resistance to environmental moisture, making the wooden components structurally stable over extended periods of daily use.

Measuring 230 centimeters in width, 105 centimeters in depth, and standing at a height of 78 centimeters, the table provides substantial surface area to accommodate multiple seating configurations. The 230-centimeter length allows for three standard dining chairs to be positioned along each of the two long sides, with additional seating space available at both ends of the table. The 78-centimeter height conforms to standard ergonomic specifications for dining furniture, ensuring adequate knee clearance and compatibility with standard dining chair heights.

The primary surface of the table incorporates a 10-millimeter thick sheet of clear tempered glass fitted directly onto the wooden top frame. This glass layer serves as a protective barrier for the underlying teak wood, shielding the timber from direct liquid spills, thermal transfer from hot serving dishes, and surface scratches caused by tableware. Tempered glass undergoes a specialized heating and rapid cooling manufacturing process, which increases its structural strength compared to standard annealed glass and causes it to crumble into small, granular chunks rather than sharp shards if fractured. The glass sits flush within the perimeter of the wooden frame, maintaining a uniform profile across the entire top surface.

The supporting structure follows an Oriental design motif, characterized by clean, straight lines and precise joinery that distributes weight evenly across the footprint. The legs are integrated directly into the corners of the table frame, maximizing stability and preventing lateral wobble during use. The dark brown stain applied to the teak is formulated to penetrate deep into the wood pores, ensuring that the color remains consistent across the entire assembly while allowing the natural texture of the grain to remain visible under direct lighting.

With a total volume measurement of 0.6500 cubic meters (CBM) when packaged, the table requires adequate clearance for delivery and assembly within interior spaces. The combination of solid teak framing and the heavy 10-millimeter glass top results in a substantial overall weight, which contributes to the stability of the furniture piece during everyday dining activities. Maintenance requirements for the Dining Table Tsukuba involve routine wiping of the glass surface with standard glass cleaner and microfiber cloths, while the teak wood elements require occasional dusting with a dry cloth to prevent particulate buildup within the grain recesses. The materials used in the construction contain no synthetic veneers, relying instead on solid hardwood construction for longevity and structural integrity in residential or commercial dining environments.
