Rovere massello, nero tinto, laccato

The lacquer finish on this black-stained oak is what sold me, it's smooth without looking plastic or cheap. Used it on the Merkur dining chairs and the black tone still lets the grain show through. Two months of daily dinners and not a single scratch yet.

The black stain on this solid oak is really deep and even, not that washed-out gray you sometimes get. It's on our dining chairs and the lacquer gives it a slight sheen that wipes clean with a damp cloth. Feels sturdy too, no wobble after a few months of daily use.

The black stain is deep and even across the grain, and the lacquer gives it a smooth, almost silky feel that’s held up beautifully on our dining chairs. We’ve had spills wiped off without any marks, and the color hasn’t faded a bit near the window.
