Fabulous kitchen / dining tables made by us in our local workshop using traditional methods.

These tables are made with reclaimed planks giving them a rustic time worn appearance.

We do take great care making these tables.  We use traditional methods, mortise & tenon joints etc with not a nail or screw in sight.  We pride ourselves in the quality finish that we achieve.  We ensure that there are no rough edges and we lightly sand the table top before waxing, this retains the integrity of the reclaimed wood.

All wood is seasoned: this will alleviate wood warping and splitting.   

When choosing your table we ask you to select the following options:

Size - 4, 6, 8, 10 person are the standard sizes we offer.  Please contact us if you would like to quote for an alternative size.

Table top finish - light wax, dark wax, lime wash

Leg style - skinny (shown on the small table with grey legs) or chunky ( shown on the larger table with black legs).  Please note that 10  person tables must have chunky legs.

Leg Colour.  As we are stockists of Grand Illusions Vintage Paint we normally use these colours.  We find that white (Sel de mer), cream (Vanille), natural (Linen), light grey (Earl Grey), mid grey (Shutter) &  black (Noir) are the most popular colour choices.  See photos for colour chart.  Please let us know if you would prefer an alternative colour.  We are also happy to use Little Greene or Farrow & Ball.  Again please let us know which colour you would prefer.  

SIZES GUIDE:

All tables are 3 planks wide (approx 66cm).  Please see other table listing in the shop if you would prefer a 4 plank table.  Please contact us to quote for all other widths.  g32whizz@yahoo.co.uk

Having spent hours setting this up I cannot work out why all variables are not available for you to select.  If you cannot select the variables that you require please do get in touch and we will send you a Paypal invoice for the table of your requirements.

Please note - the wood used for the table tops is reclaimed and therefore you can expect some marks and wear.  This adds to the character of the table.  As a natural wood product these tables work well in ambient temperatures.  Extreme conditions such as heat or air conditioning can lead to splitting or warping due to wood drying out. This is not unique to us, you can expect this from any wood table.


GENERAL NOTE – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

 

We work hard to offer you an excellent customer experience. 

 

Our Products (general)

Please note that many of the items we sell are vintage or antique and will therefore have wear and markings commensurate with age. These are not new items but well loved pieces with a story to tell with an aged worn appearance.  We endeavour to give as much detail about the items condition.  It is not possible to tell you about every mark and scratch.  Please look carefully at the photos, these should give you a good impression of the item. Please do contact us if you require more information than is offered in the description. 

As well as listing these items on ebay these items are also available for sale elsewhere.  In the unfortunate event of the item selling elsewhere before the item is removed from ebay we will issue an immediate full refund.  

Our Products (Made to order rustic reclaimed tables and other products)

The wood that is used on made to order tables and other products is reclaimed and therefore not perfect.  The tables are meant to have a time worn rustic appearance.

As with any natural wood products, twisting and warping can occur in varying temperature conditions.  Before your product is sent out we moderate the moisture conditions of the wood to get them to the optimum moisture content.  Once it is out of our controlled environment we cannot take responsibility for how the wood reacts to different environments.  We strongly recommend that reclaimed tables are not used in environments with air conditioning or positioned immediately next to an active radiator. 

Lead time – generally our lead time is 4 weeks.  Occasionally it can be more.  This is a made to measure quality item that is made with care.  Please do not ask if we can make it quicker.  We want to take the care and time to make sure that you are totally satisfied with the finished product.  When you place your order we will give you an indication of the lead time.  This is not fixed in stone as occasionally we can have unforeseen problems.  Working with reclaimed materials can throw up issues in production which we can rectify but not rushed.  We will let you know a fixed completion date as soon as possible to enable you to confirm collection with your courier. 

 

Cancelling – once you have placed and order we hope that you will not choose to cancel.  In the event of cancelling a bespoke made to measure order, we will need to charge a 25% cancellation fee of the total value of the product or products.  This is to cover the costs of materials.

 

Pick Up and Delivery

 

We specify in the listings whether an item will be shipped or whether it needs to be collected.

 

On products where shipping is specified we are happy to ship worldwide .

 

When shipping items we will use Royal Mail or a courier, depending on the best options.

 

If you need a delivery quote please do this before ordering the item.

Your items will be well packed, using plenty of appropriate packing materials.  We do occasionally use recycled materials.  You’re parcel may not look pretty but it will be transported safely.  Please be aware that none of the items we sell are items that we can simply put in an envelope and therefore we do need a few days to individually pack your item.

 

If we have arranged for a courier to deliver your item we will pass your details on to the courier and notify you of the delivery date.  Delivery may be on any day of the week, at any time.  Please let us know at the point of ordering if any days or times are not suitable.  It is your responsibility to make sure that you are available to take delivery on the date specified. If you are not available to take delivery a redelivery fee will be charged. 

Collection in person

If your item states collection in person you are welcome to collect, or send a courier to collect by arrangement. Many customers successfully use Anyvan.com or Shiply.com. 

Please get a courier quote first before making your purchase.

Items can be picked up from our workshop near to Fakenham, preferably between the hours of 9am – 5pm, Monday to Friday.  We appreciate that this is not always possible and we will happily discuss alternative collection times with you and will be as flexible as possible.  Please bear in mind that we have a family and do have commitments outside of these hours.

All couriers will be asked to sign a document to say that they picked up the item in the condition stated on eBay.  If the item is damaged in transit, this is an issue you need to sort out with your courier as it is out of our area of responsibility.  It is your courier’s responsibility to ensure the item is protected in secure in transit.

When arranging a courier we recommend that you check that they are insured and use packing blankets and straps. 

We can provide packing material at an extra charge.

Once an item has been paid for we are happy for you to pass on our details to the courier so that they can liaise with us directly. 

Please do not send national couriers such as Hermes, TNT, Parcel Force etc to pick up collection only items.  These items are not suitable for shipping with these types of couriers due to their size or fragility.  We will not wrap up and package collection only items to send by national couriers.    

If you are collecting in person, cash on collection is required.
