A Dining Set Drawn in Walnut

The Fontana dining table set carries one wood tone across two of its three pieces. The walnut tone on the round top sits in the same family as the walnut tone on the chair legs, so the eight legs under the two chairs and the surface they draw up to are reading the same note. What is left over is the base. Four black steel tubes lean in, cross at a collar below the top, and come down inside a small square of floor, which makes them the one dark element in an otherwise warm group. The top itself arrives as two half panels that meet across the middle and join underneath, and the grain carries over the rounded edge rather than stopping at it. Both chairs are armless and go under the rim at any point around the circle.

Features

• One Wood Tone Throughout puts the top and the chair legs in the same walnut family, so the set does not ask a room to hold two different woods at once
• Base Is the Contrast since everything else in the group is warm, which leaves the four black tubes to draw the line between the floor and the top
• Rim Has No Leg because the four tubes meet in the middle, so a chair goes under the top anywhere around the circle without a leg deciding where it can sit
• Two Now, Four Later since the top is a size that takes four settings, so another pair of Haven chairs joins the same table without anything else changing
• Rated to 250 Pounds per chair, unchanged across the four upholstery options because the frame under the cover is the same one every time
• Mid-Century Shapes Throughout sets a circle above a crossed metal frame and puts the chairs on slim angled legs, which is where the set gets its period reading
• Marks Show Less on a walnut face than on a pale one, so the table between wipes looks closer to the way it looks just after
• Standard Dining Height across table and chairs, so any extra seating bought to ordinary dining measurements sits at the same level as the pair included
• Nook and Apartment Sized suits a breakfast corner, a studio or a small dining room, and holds a laptop and a mug on the days nobody is eating at it

Care Instructions

• Wipe the tabletop with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight away
• Keep standing moisture off the tabletop, since the engineered core swells if water reaches it through a chip or a cut in the surface
• Use coasters under glasses and mats under hot dishes
• Avoid abrasive pads, bleach and solvent cleaners on the printed tabletop
• Vacuum the woven covers with a soft brush attachment to lift dust before it settles into the weave
• Brush the faux suede cover in one direction with a soft dry brush to keep the nap lying evenly
• Wipe along both sides of the corded edge, where crumbs and dust collect
• Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and mild upholstery cleaner, blotting rather than rubbing, and test on a hidden area first
• Wipe the metal legs and the table base with a dry or barely damp cloth, then dry them
• Check and tighten the chair leg bolts and the table base hardware every few months
• Lift the chairs and the table rather than dragging them, keep the foot caps free of grit, and stand the set on a level floor
• Keep the set out of prolonged direct sunlight to limit fading of both the printed tabletop and the upholstery
