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 industrial-inspired bar table is ideal for a casual kitchen. Simple and functional in design, it is supported by a robust, welded iron frame that's finished with a durable lacquer. 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 often recommend the Calia bar table for its straightforward, space-saving design: the slim black steel frame keeps the look light, while the oak top brings warmth without feeling bulky. Its clean lines work equally well in urban kitchens, small flats or a home office corner used as a standing desk. Styling-wise, pair it with tall stools in a contrasting metal or a leather-upholstered seat to add texture. Keep accessories simple - a narrow tray for glasses or a couple of succulents - and hang a low-hung pendant above to define the area without crowding the tabletop.

About John Lewis
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.
