FAQ
What kind of finish do these tables have?
The engineered wood surface typically features a durable, scratch-resistant laminate finish in various colours – often including dark grey, black, and natural wood tones. The steel frame is usually powder-coated for enhanced protection against rust and wear.
Are these tables easy to clean?
Yes, the engineered wood surfaces are designed to be easily cleaned with a damp cloth and mild cleaner. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
How sturdy are they?
The steel frame provides excellent stability, and most models feature reinforced legs for added support. They're generally suitable for holding weights of around 50-60kg (depending on the specific design).
What size are these tables typically?
Typically available in sizes ranging from 120cm to 140cm in length and width, with heights usually between 45cm and 50cm. Check the product dimensions before purchasing.
Can I change the colour of the table?
The engineered wood surface is available in a range of colours, but you cannot physically change the colour once the table is assembled.
Do these tables require assembly?
Almost all models require some level of assembly. Instructions and necessary hardware are usually included in the packaging.
Are the steel legs adjustable?
Adjustable feet are uncommon on this style of table but some higher-end models may include them for uneven floor compensation.
What is the warranty like?
Typically, these tables come with a manufacturer’s warranty of 1-2 years covering defects in materials and workmanship. Always check the specific warranty details provided by the seller.
Are these tables suitable for outdoor use?
These tables are generally designed for indoor use only. Exposure to prolonged sunlight or wet conditions may damage the engineered wood surface.
What is the difference between steel and engineered wood?
Steel provides the structural strength and stability of the table, while engineered wood (often a composite material like MDF) forms the smooth, durable tabletop offering a cost-effective alternative to solid hardwood.
