Stain samples · £5 each

See our finishes on real French Oak before choosing your table.

Colours can look very different on a screen, so if you’re unsure which finish to choose, order a sample and see it in your own home.

Each sample is a real offcut of the same solid French Oak we use for our tables, sanded and finished by us using your chosen stain.

Compare it against your flooring, kitchen, chairs or other furniture before deciding.

Choose as many finishes as you’d like to compare. Samples are £5 each with free UK postage.

Made from the same oak as our tables

These aren’t printed colour cards. Each sample is cut from the same French Oak we use to make our tables, then sanded and finished in our workshop using exactly the same hardwax oil.

Free 1st class postage

We normally prepare and post samples from our Wickford workshop within two working days. UK samples are sent by Royal Mail 1st Class free of charge.

Happy with the finish?

Once you’ve chosen your colour, you can build your table online and see your chosen finish with your preferred table size, edge style and base.

Why we recommend ordering a sample

Oak is a natural material and the colour of a finish can look quite different depending on the timber, lighting and surroundings.

A sample lets you see the actual finish in your home and compare it directly with your flooring, kitchen or existing furniture.

Sample questions

What exactly will I receive?

A small piece of solid French Oak, sanded and finished in the colour you’ve chosen, with the finish name marked on the back.

It’s made using the same timber and finishing products as our tables.

Will my table look exactly like the sample?

The colour and finish will be representative, but every piece of oak is naturally different. Grain, figuring, knots and natural colour variation will differ from one board to another.

The sample is intended to help you choose the finish rather than show the exact grain of your finished table.

Can I order more than one?

Yes. You can order as many finishes as you like and we’ll send them together. If you’re deciding between two or three colours, we’d recommend ordering each so you can compare them side by side.

How long will they take to arrive?

We normally prepare and post samples within two working days. They’re sent by Royal Mail 1st Class, so we’d recommend allowing up to a week for delivery.

Do you send samples outside the UK?

Yes. We can send samples internationally to the countries we currently deliver to.
