The Ariana table base was designed for a West Coast client, with shipping cross-country in mind. It ships in a flat custom crate. Easy minor assembly is required. Ariana is inspired by the mid-century modern style, with a light aesthetic, yet strong enough to hold a marble top. The table base is crafted from solid walnut, with mortise and tenon joinery. It is finished with a natural oil, blended with polyurethane. The dimensions for the models shown here are 66"w x 36"d x 30"h (in empty room) and 60"w x 36"d x 30"h (in dining area). This design can be modified for a custom fit. With all table bases, clients source and procure the marble or stone top separately, according to exact drawings Mark provides.

Mark is an artist. His understanding of design and wood led to a great outcome. My table is truly beautiful. He is not limited by what he has done before...you have a vision and together it is executed.
Mark is absolutely fabulous and professional! I will order from him again.
The table is stunning! Delivered in great condition and according to what I requested. The price is what I would have expected to pay at a retail store and I got EXACTLY what I wanted. Thank you Mark!
Seeking a unique dining table for our recently purchased 1920s vintage home, Mark's Diego table was exactly what we wanted: stylish, well crafted and cleverly engineered. Communication and shipping were easy and punctual. We had a few specialized requests for the piece that were well accommodated. I look forward to working with Mark again as we continue to settle in to our new home. Thanks Mark!
For my husband and me, family dinner is sacrosanct but we never could find the table that fit our needs and taste. Mark brought our dream table to life and made it so sturdy we will be sure to enjoy it with grandkids someday. Not only is the table a perfect union of beauty and function, Mark delivered the table personally which meant very much to us because obviously he cares just as much as we do.
