How is the teak monastery table made?

These monastery tables come from Indonesia and are made there in a traditional way. Central Java is known for its great knowledge and craftsmanship. Many furniture makers can be found here. We carefully select them so that you can enjoy a 1st quality monastery table for years to come. Please note that this model table has 'end planks'. These give the table extra atmosphere and character. However, it is possible that small cracks can occur due to changing humidity in the house. If you definitely do not want this, we recommend a table without end planks.

Solid column legs and solid top made of recycled teak wood

These are heavy tables! The wooden monastery table consists of two solid legs - in some places almost 20cm - a solid cross plank and a top that is 6cm all around and 3cm on the inside, all made of old teak. Fortunately, the wooden monastery tables are made to be dismantled and we can assemble them for you on site. Such a heavy top must certainly be delivered by two people and the larger tables we prefer to do with three people if possible. The old teak wood that is used for these tables comes from old houses and buildings in Java, Indonesia. Old beams are sawn in half and then processed into these beautiful monastery tables. This beautiful old wood gives the tables character and an authentic look.

What to look for when purchasing a wooden monastery table

Since the top protrudes far on the end sides, the legs are further inward. This ensures that you are not as free in placing the chairs, unless they are slid over the leg. A table with a length of 250cm can therefore only place 3 chairs with armrests on the long side. A chair can also be placed on the 2 end sides, so a total of 8 chairs will fit.

For a monastery table that is 220cm long, 2 chairs with armrests fit on the long sides. On the 2 end sides as well, so a total of 6 chairs fit. Chairs without armrests are a bit easier because they are less wide. You can also place more of them.

And see also the example of 300x100cm with 8 matching chairs. If you do not want to put the chairs over the legs, 4 pieces fit on both long sides. In total 8 chairs plus possibly 2 more chairs on the end sides if desired. This information also applies to the tree trunk tables .

Outdoor monastery table: monastery garden table especially for outdoors

This beautiful monastery table has been in our assortment for a long time and we were regularly asked if it was suitable for outdoor use. Under a canopy this was possible, but not completely free in the sun and rain.
Without openings in the top and legs, gaps can occur. That is why we have specially adapted the model so that it can also be placed completely freely outside. This garden monastery table is available in 200x100cm - 250x100cm - 300x100cm and occasionally in stock in 350x120cm and 400x100cm. In recent years we have already sold this beautiful garden table frequently throughout almost all of Europe!
