Solid Wood Dining

California based Buus, of Scandinavian heritage, debuted its very contemporary Loft dining table. Solid planks of a plentiful, Indonesian hardwood called Meranti, are tongue and grooved together and set on a solid framed base. Available in 3 finishes, the yellowish finish with a slightly green hue (latte) looked best set off with the contrasting "espresso"-finished base. The table retails for about $1400.
