OverviewOur Monarch dining collection is handcrafted using centuries-old techniques in a modern way. Rare lengths of solid walnut chosen for their beautiful cathedral graining, are united on top with traditional Chinese butterfly joinery without using nails or screws. The table top's signature exposed butterfly joinery and floating slab legs demonstrate the exemplary craftsmanship that goes into these organic modern tables. Monarch's unique shiitake finish, a subtle blend of browns and greys, creates a fresh neutral tone that mixes well with other wood finishes. A special water-based topcoat is entertaining-friendly with stain- and heat- resistant qualities.
