Wood Dining Table

8 years ago

My husband and I are looking to purchase our very first 'real' dining room table and need some advice. We found a table that we like quite a bit in a store here in Vancouver that is known for high end, high quality products but also has a bit of a reputation for mixing in some lower end inventory.


The table has a solid Surina wood top that is about 2.5" thick and has a live edge. The base is a polished chrome pedestal. The table was made in Indonesia. I noticed that if you ran a fingernail on the wood, it would leave a mark. There was also a sticker on the bottom of the table that mentioned to be careful of humidity (we live in the Pacific North West).


I'm wondering if we can expect a high level of craftsmanship from Indonesian made furniture?


Does anyone know much about Surina wood and the durability? Are scratches on all solid wood tables to be expected?


Is the humidity sticker just a standard warning? Or should I be concerned that that this kind of wood is particularly sensitive?


Thank you!
