This low dining table is built from black walnut and is finished with pure tung oil. Low dining tables are rare in America, which I think is a shame. Having used one for 3 years, I've found many benefits to dining low. First, a low table takes us less space as no chairs are needed. This lack of clutter is especially valued in apartment settings where space is limited.
Secondly, the act of sitting at a low table will yield health benefits as you learn to support your own body weight without the aid of a chair. Standing up and sitting down at the table will keep you limber and your knees youthful.
The legs of Jill's table are five-sided. The outside facet of the leg is continued into the table top, visually tying the two together. I think this piece looks very handsome in this moody walnut, however the proportions could be adapted to suit a lighter wood.
Guinea Pig for scale.
