The most important thing is who we're sitting with at the table. Of course, it's still very nice if as unusual a piece of furniture as the Rolf Benz 969 is in the midst of everything that's going on. The table, made from solid oak, comes to your home as beautiful as nature made it: knots and cracks are filled with synthetic resin, while the surfaces are brushed and oiled. Its rustic appearance is stylishly grounded with its solid steel side pedestals.
