Price History
Description
Made predominantly from solid American white oak, our Calia range of furniture has a natural, rustic look thanks to its wire-brushed, distressed finish. Each piece is made from individual wood slats that are carefully selected and sorted by skilled craftsman. They ensure that the natural pattern in the wood grain, even with its unique irregularities, uphold our design and quality standards, to offer an authentic and tactile look. This solid dining table offers seating for up to four diners. Supported by a robust, welded iron base that's finished with a durable lacquer, it has a striking and industrial-inspired aesthetic. Worth knowing Oak is a natural, living material, and part of its charm is that it develops over time. This means that surface splits may start to appear with the natural movement of the wood. Knots will vary in size and location and a subtle colour variation can also be expected. These distinctive qualities give the range a unique feel, as no two pieces will be exactly the same. To keep your furniture looking its best, we recommend periodic oiling and oiling before first use. This is applicable to the Oak version only, as the Dark version has a lacquered finish. More information can be found in the assembly instructions supplied. Want to see it first? You may want to see and get a feel for the furniture in one of our shops before ordering.

Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of the Calia table for its clean-lined oak top paired with sturdy black metal legs - it slots straight into Scandi, industrial or modern farmhouse schemes. Its compact four-seater footprint works well in tighter kitchen-diners or open-plan living areas where you still need room to move. Styling is straightforward: layer a natural-fibre runner down the centre, add a couple of simple ceramic vases with seasonal greenery and mix in woven placemats for texture. Keep seating varied - perhaps two painted metal chairs opposite two wood-frame stools - and top off with a slimline pendant light to draw the eye and anchor the space.

A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
