The lightly applied varnish on the dining table offers the best protection and makes it easy to clean. The table has been coated in layers of light varnish to allow the attractive grain of the solid wood to shine through. The pictured decorations are not included. The set includes all the fittings necessary for assembling the table. It is very easy to assemble, simply tighten the nuts to the screws mounted on the feet. This means anyone can put the table together without any problems!
