To enjoy a delicious barbecue on your patio with family and friends, you need the convenient Sonoma Bar Table by Oxford Garden. It offers a fun, bar-height experience for your outdoor dining and entertaining. Sophisticated, yet casual, this round bar table features slats in the shape of an octagon inside the circular perimeter. There is plenty of room for food and fun. Pair it with an umbrella to double the enjoyment.
Crafted from durable shorea, well-known for its natural resistance to decay and insects, the bar table weathers to a beautiful silver-gray color with age like teak. Shorea is a hardwood with properties quite similar to teak, but it is much stronger and heavier. Since shorea is more abundant in nature, it's comparatively less expensive than teak, giving you exceptional quality and workmanship at an extremely reasonable price.
About Shorea Wood
Shorea is possibly the best wood choice for outdoor furniture. Related to Burma teak, this hardwood grows naturally and plentifully in the Pacific Rim countries, making it considerably less expensive than teak. Because shorea contains an abundance of natural oils, is dense, heavy and hard, it is highly resistant to rot, bug infestation, weather and marring.
Shorea is strong and weather-resistant enough to be left untreated. If left untreated, each piece will weather to a nice shade of gray. The weathering process will change the color, but the grain will still be smooth. There is no splitting or splintering. You may treat each piece of your set with Teak Oil to prolong weathering. Each piece is durable, classic and elegant.
An Eco-Friendly Choice
We realize the importance of preserving our environment. Our Shorea wood is imported from Java, which is diligently managed by its government to ensure wise, renewable harvesting and fair prices. Rest assured you are making a responsible choice when you purchase this set crafted from Shorea.
