Demerest IV Black Dining Table

Yes, customer assembly is required for this item. While our full-service delivery team handles the heavy lifting for many larger sets, this specific table is designed for straightforward home assembly. This ensures the unique outer-leg hardware can be tightened to your specific flooring conditions for maximum stability.

Yes, this table is an excellent solution for urban apartment living or smaller dining footprints. Its 47.5" x 35.5" dimensions provide a full dining experience without the overwhelming visual weight of a larger banquet table. The unique outer-leg design further maximizes under-table clearance, providing more legroom for guests and making the room feel more open and airy.

The feet of this table are crafted from solid eucalyptus wood, a material prized in high-end furniture for its exceptional density and natural resistance to moisture. This choice of material ensures a stable, durable foundation that resists the wobbling often found in tables made from softer woods. The tabletop frame utilizes high-quality MDF, which provides a perfectly smooth, warp-resistant surface for the sleek black finish.

With a width of 47.5 inches, this rectangular table is designed to seat four people comfortably. When planning your dining area, our experts recommend following the "36-inch clearance rule"—ensuring there is at least three feet of space between the table edge and the nearest wall or piece of furniture. This allows guests to pull out their chairs and circulate through the room with ease.

This table is well-suited for varied climates because of its hybrid construction. The solid eucalyptus legs are naturally oily and dense, making them highly resistant to the expansion and contraction caused by humidity. Additionally, the engineered MDF tabletop frame is more dimensionally stable than solid wood planks, meaning it is less likely to warp or "cup" when exposed to the moisture levels common in coastal or high-humidity regions.

To preserve the deep black finish, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth to prevent abrasive particles from scratching the surface. For spills, our care guide suggests using a damp cloth with a touch of mild soap and water, followed immediately by drying with a clean towel. To prevent "heat rings" or water stains, always use coasters or placemats under hot dishes and cold glassware.
