FAQs

What is the primary design inspiration for the Midst table?

The design is inspired by architectural columns, merging physical stability and steadfastness with a sense of elegance.

Does the round shape work well for formal dining?

Yes, the round shape cancels out hierarchy and encourages conversation, making it suitable for both casual and more formal gatherings by creating an inclusive atmosphere.

How do I choose between the oak and linoleum top?

The oak top offers a natural, warm aesthetic and requires more careful maintenance. The linoleum top provides a durable, matte finish that is easier to clean and more resistant to scratches, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.

Is the base available in different finishes?

The base is described as having a high-gloss finish. Specific color options for the base may vary based on the top material and overall product variant.

What are the dimensions of the table?

The product information mentions a 160cm diameter for some variants, but specific dimensions should be confirmed based on the exact product listing or specification sheet.

Can I use placemats and coasters with this table?

Yes, using placemats and coasters is highly recommended, especially with the oak top, to protect the surface from heat, moisture, and scratches.

What is the recommended seating capacity?

The table is designed to be generous and accommodate family and friends, with enough room to squeeze in extra guests. Specific capacity can depend on chair size and spacing.

Troubleshooting

Table wobbles after assembly

Ensure all screws and fixings are tightened securely. Check that the base is correctly aligned with the tabletop and that the floor surface is level.

Scratches on the high-gloss base

Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a plastic polish designed for high-gloss surfaces. For deeper scratches, contact customer support for repair options.

Stains on the linoleum or oak top

For linoleum, try a specialized linoleum cleaner. For oak, blot spills immediately and use a wood cleaner appropriate for oiled finishes. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Difficulty assembling components

Refer to the assembly manual for detailed diagrams. Ensure you have the correct tools. If issues persist, contact customer support.
