The Rio Round Dining Table comes in either a rectangular or round configuration, letting you choose the silhouette that fits your room. The reeded pedestal gives the base a sculptural presence while keeping the visual weight centered, so chairs pull cleanly around all sides.

Each top is built from a two-ply solid wood veneer — a construction choice made as much for sustainability as for craftsmanship. Only a thin layer of real hardwood is needed to capture the same rich grain character found in natural wood planks, conserving precious hardwood resources with every table we build. The core beneath is crafted from reclaimed material left over from the milling process, material that would otherwise go to waste.

That engineered core also gives the top a stability solid wood can't match on its own, resisting the cupping, warping, and cracking that comes with seasonal humidity swings. The visible surface is then expertly finished for resistance to everyday stains and wear, so it holds up beautifully even after decades of dining.

Reeded Pedestal Base
• The reeded pedestal gives the base a sculptural presence while keeping the visual weight centered, so chairs pull cleanly around all sides.
• Crafted from half-round solid wood tambour — a run of rounded vertical staves that catches light down the length of the column.
• Pedestal geometry means no leg interruptions for the middle seats, unlike a four-leg base.
• Center-weighted and wide-based, engineered specifically for the loading pattern of a full dining table.

White Oak
• The lighter, more luminous finish. Pale, straight-grained white oak lets the room's other material moments — chairs, credenza, art — lead.
• Ideal for Scandinavian-inspired, coastal, or modern dining rooms that want a light, soft dimension.

Walnut
• The warmer, more grounded finish. Deep chocolate and amber undertones give the table substantial visual weight, suited to layered, Fall-forward dining rooms.

Espresso Oak
• New for Fall: a rich espresso-brown stain over hand-wire-brushed white oak, with deep, dark brown graining that opens the wood's natural texture.
• The darkest tone in the Denver Modern line — depth without going to a full black stain or ebonized finish.
• The hand-done wirebrushing adds organic texture, giving the darker shade significant dimension.

Top Construction
• Each top is built from a two-ply solid wood veneer — a thick-cut or sawn veneer, typically 1/16" to 1/8" thick, versus the 1/40" of a standard rotary-cut veneer.
• The surface layer is substantial enough to behave like solid wood at the touch, to sand and refinish multiple times, and to show the grain depth and figure of a full slab.
• The core beneath is crafted from reclaimed material left over from the milling process — material that would otherwise go to waste.
• That engineered core gives the top a stability solid wood can't match on its own, resisting the cupping, warping, and cracking that comes with seasonal humidity swings.
• Only a thin layer of real hardwood is needed to capture the grain character of natural wood planks, conserving hardwood resources with every table built.
• The same construction used in gallery-grade case goods and high-end architectural millwork.
• Handcrafted with solid American white oak or walnut edges, sealed with a durable protective finish.

Pairs with Canyon and Alma dining chairs, and are sized to work alongside the Summit rectangular anchor for buyers who want two tables — Rio Round for the everyday breakfast, Summit or Rio Rectangle for the formal dining room.

Product Care
White Oak, Walnut, and Espresso Oak
• Dust regularly with a dry microfiber cloth, following the direction of the wood grain.
• Wipe spills with a damp cloth and follow up with a soft, dry cloth, again working with the grain.
• The visible surface is expertly finished for resistance to everyday stains and wear, so it holds up beautifully even after decades of dining.
• Use trivets under hot dishes and coasters under wet glasses. A sealed finish handles incidental contact, but standing heat and moisture shorten its life.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, ammonia-based cleaners, silicone sprays, and abrasive materials.
• Keep the table out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. Espresso Oak shows UV change more readily than natural White Oak.

Wire-Brushed Espresso Oak
• The brushing is a texture, not open grain. It's sealed with the espresso finish, wipes clean, and needs no more maintenance than a smooth-finished table.
• A dry soft-bristle brush lifts anything that settles into the deeper grain.

Reeded Pedestal Base
• Dust the reeding with a dry soft-bristle brush or a vacuum brush attachment; the grooves between staves collect dust more readily than a flat column.
• Wipe with a barely damp cloth if needed, then dry promptly — work along the reeding rather than across it so moisture doesn't sit in the grooves.
• Avoid abrasive pads and solvents on the base.

Refinishing
• The two-ply thick-cut veneer is substantial enough to sand and refinish multiple times over the life of the table.
• The piece is designed to be refinished rather than replaced.

Placement and Moving
• Avoid placing the table over an active heat vent or against a radiator, which dries the wood unevenly.
• Lift rather than drag, and never move the table by the top alone.
• These are heavy pieces — 193 to 240 lbs depending on size. Two people minimum, supporting from the base and apron.
