On some of the tables there are still traces of the youthful calligraphy/graffiti, hand carvings and stabbings, these have been mostly toned down and coated over. The legs and undercarriage are solid oak that has a limed finish whilst the top is solid teak (resembles mahogany) with beautiful graining and recently polished top. As you would expect from a school there are numerous marks under the finished surface but everything seems to add to it's beauty.

The handles are simple swan neck replacements and suit the table perfectly.
