Solid neem: the wood you haven’t met yet
Neem is a fast-growing hardwood in the mahogany family — dense, stable, and grained with the cathedral patterns usually associated with much pricier timber. The Dua is solid neem throughout, not veneer over a core, which changes the ownership math: a solid top can be sanded and refreshed for decades, while veneer gets one life. At 72 inches in a soft pill-shaped oval, it’s the mid-century ideal — simple, honest, built from a wood with a story.
Weathered, not worn out
The weathered finish softens neem’s natural color into a patina that looks collected rather than new — and it’s forgiving in a way pristine finishes aren’t. Daily life leaves its mark on every table; on the Dua’s weathered surface, those marks read as character instead of damage. The bullnose edge rounds the profile so the 72-inch oval feels approachable, and at 92 lb it repositions easily when the room needs to change. Legs extend a touch beyond the tabletop — a mid-century tell — with levelers included for uneven floors.

Frequently asked questions
What is neem wood?
A dense, fast-growing hardwood related to mahogany — stable, beautifully grained, and sustainable because it matures quickly. Think of it as mahogany’s responsible cousin.
Solid wood vs veneer — does it matter?
For longevity, yes. A solid neem top can be refinished for decades; veneer can’t. You’re buying the table once.
Will the weathered finish look dirty?
No — “weathered” is a softened patina, not a distressed treatment. It reads as collected and warm, and it hides daily wear better than a pristine finish.
Is 72 inches enough for six?
Yes — the oval shape and 38-inch depth give six diners comfortable elbow room with easy circulation around the table.
