FAQ

An epoxy resin table is a piece of furniture made by combining solid wood with epoxy resin, a durable, glossy, and often colorful material that can fill voids, cracks, or create artistic effects.

The epoxy resin can be transparent, colored, or even mixed with pigments to create designs such as:

• River tables – where resin flows like a river between wood slabs

• Waterfall tables – where resin flows over the edges of the table

• Abstract or artistic patterns – incorporating multiple colors or effects

Epoxy resin tables are durable, waterproof, and easy to maintain, making them suitable for dining, conference, coffee tables, and more. They combine the natural beauty of wood with the versatility and artistic possibilities of resin, resulting in unique, one-of-a-kind furniture pieces.

A river table is a wood table with one or more streams of epoxy resin flowing between natural wood pieces, creating the effect of a river running through the table.

The resin can be clear or colored, and the wood often retains its live edges.

River tables are unique, artistic, and functional, suitable for dining rooms, offices, or living spaces.

Yes — resin tables are made from real wood combined with epoxy resin. The wood can be solid slabs, live-edge pieces, or reclaimed wood, while the resin fills gaps, cracks, or creates artistic designs.

This combination allows the table to retain the natural beauty and texture of wood while adding durability, waterproofing, and unique visual effects.

Every resin table is therefore a genuine wood piece enhanced with resin artistry.

Yes — epoxy resin tables are highly durable. The combination of solid wood and cured epoxy resin creates a strong, stable surface that resists:

• Scratches and dents from daily use

• Water and heat damage when properly finished

• Warping or cracking, as the resin seals and protects the wood

With proper care, an epoxy resin table can last for decades, making it both a functional and long-lasting centerpiece for your home or office.

A well-crafted epoxy resin table can last decades. With proper care, including avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme heat, or harsh chemicals, the table’s wood and resin components remain strong and visually stunning for many years.

High-quality resin tables are durable, long-lasting, and often become heirloom pieces that can be enjoyed by multiple generations.

Yes — epoxy resin tables are safe for daily use. Once fully cured, the resin is non-toxic, odorless, and stable, making it suitable for:

• Dining and kitchen tables

• Coffee tables and work surfaces

• Office or conference tables

The combination of solid wood and resin creates a strong, durable surface that can handle regular use, including placing hot dishes, drinks, and everyday items, while maintaining its beauty and integrity.

Properly crafted epoxy resin tables are highly resistant to cracking. The resin seals and stabilizes the wood, protecting it from most natural movements caused by humidity, temperature changes, and seasonal climate variations.

For best results, we recommend a full glossy finish, which provides excellent sealing, effectively reducing the risk of cracking, warping, or other damage caused by moisture.

With normal use and proper care, a resin table remains durable, stable, and beautiful for many years.

Epoxy resin itself is very strong, durable, and resistant to water and impacts, but it is not a replacement for wood. In resin tables, the combination of solid wood and epoxy resin creates a surface that is stronger, more stable, and more resilient than wood alone.

The resin:

• Fills cracks and voids in the wood

• Prevents splitting and warping

• Adds rigidity and durability

This synergy ensures that resin tables are both visually stunning and built to last for years of daily use.

Several factors contribute to the higher cost of epoxy resin tables:

1. High-quality wood – Premium woods like black walnut,walnut, ash, olive,or exotic hardwoods are costly and carefully selected.

2. Artistic resin work – Custom colors, river effects, and intricate designs require skill and time.

3. Handcrafted production – Each table is individually designed, sanded, polished, and finished by skilled artisans.

4. Time-intensive process – Epoxy resin needs multiple layers and proper curing, which can take days to weeks.

5. Durability and quality – Strong, stable, and long-lasting materials ensure the table is a heirloom-quality piece.

6. Customization – Tailoring the table to specific dimensions, shapes, or design preferences adds complexity and labor.

In short, the cost reflects the materials, craftsmanship, time, and uniqueness of each table.

Yes. Resin tables from SeawaveTable are made from solid wood slabs, not veneer or engineered wood. Each table starts with carefully selected, kiln-dried solid wood slabs. Resin (epoxy) is then poured between or within the slabs to enhance stability and create the distinctive design.

The wood remains solid throughout—resin does not replace the wood but complements it. Because natural slabs vary in grain, knots, and color, every table from SeawaveTable is truly one of a kind.

Standard table thickness: approx. 2 inches (5–5.08 cm).
Custom thickness options are available upon request.

Yes, at SeawaveTable, resin tables can be fully customized to fit your space and needs. You can choose:

• Length – from small 4-person tables to large 10+ person tables

• Width – to match your dining area or workspace

• Thickness – standard is approx. 2 inches (5–5.08 cm), but custom thickness is available

• Edge style – straight, live edge, or other options

Custom sizing ensures your resin table not only fits perfectly in your room but also maintains optimal stability and visual balance.

For comfortable seating of 6 people, an epoxy dining table should generally be:

• Length: approx. 72 inches (183 cm)

• Width: approx. 36–42 inches (91–107 cm)

This size allows enough space for each person, with room for place settings and center items.
Also, make sure to leave at least 36 inches (91 cm) of clearance around the table for chairs and movement.

At SeawaveTable, we can also customize the table size to perfectly fit your dining area and seating needs.

Yes, epoxy tables can be made oversized, and many designers create large statement pieces for dining rooms, conference rooms, or open living spaces. However, there are a few important considerations:

1. Wood slab stability: Very wide or long slabs may require extra support to prevent warping or cracking over time.

2. Table legs and support: Wider tables often need T-shaped or custom metal bases to ensure stability.

3. Room size: Make sure there’s enough clearance around the table—at least 36 inches (91 cm) on all sides—for chairs and movement.

4. Weight: Large epoxy tables can be very heavy, which may affect delivery and placement.

At SeawaveTable, oversized epoxy tables can be custom designed to balance aesthetics, functionality, and durability, ensuring a beautiful and stable centerpiece for your space.

Yes, resin tables can be used outdoors, but to extend their lifespan, it’s important to consider UV exposure, temperature changes, and environmental conditions. We recommend placing the table in a covered or shaded area, such as under a pergola, gazebo, or other structure with a roof, to protect it from direct sunlight and harsh weather.

Our epoxy resin includes UV protection to help prevent discoloration. However, with prolonged, direct exposure to sunlight, even clear resin may gradually yellow over time.

• Outdoor use: We recommend placing the table under a covered or shaded area, such as a pergola or gazebo, to protect it from direct sun.

• Indoor use: Short periods of sunlight through windows are completely safe and will not affect the resin.

To ensure the longevity of a resin table outdoors, consider the following steps:

1. Place under cover: Keep the table in a shaded or covered area, such as a pergola, gazebo, or roofed patio, to reduce direct sunlight and rain exposure.

2. Avoid extreme weather: Protect the table from heavy rain, snow, or extreme heat, which can cause wood movement or resin stress.

3. Use table covers: When not in use, consider a protective outdoor table cover to shield it from dust, moisture, and sunlight.

4. Regular cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals to maintain the resin’s shine and clarity.

At SeawaveTable, following these steps can help your resin table retain its beauty and durability, even in outdoor settings.

Yes, epoxy tables are waterproof, especially when finished with a full glossy surface. This type of finish provides excellent sealing and protection, preventing liquids from penetrating the resin or the wood beneath.

To maintain durability:

• Wipe up spills promptly.

• Avoid prolonged standing water on edges or seams.

• For outdoor use, it’s best to place the table in a covered area.

At SeawaveTable, our epoxy tables are finished with a full gloss and tightly sealed, ensuring both beauty and long-lasting water resistance.

Resin can withstand a certain amount of heat, but prolonged contact with temperatures above 80°C (176°F) in the same spot may leave marks.

To protect the table:

• Use coasters or heat pads for very hot dishes or cookware.

• For occasional spills of hot water, simply wipe it off—this will not affect the resin surface.

Yes, epoxy tables are durable and safe, with a strong, water-resistant surface that’s easy to clean—ideal for family use.

Neither finish is objectively “better”; it depends on use and aesthetic preference.

• Matte epoxy offers a softer, modern look and reduces glare, making it ideal for everyday living spaces.
• Glossy epoxy delivers a high-impact, glass-like appearance that highlights depth and color but shows scratches and fingerprints more easily.

For residential dining or work tables, matte is often more forgiving; for statement pieces, glossy is preferred.

Epoxy is durable but not scratch-proof. Like solid wood or lacquered surfaces, it can develop fine scratches over time with normal use. Using placemats, coasters, and avoiding abrasive objects will significantly reduce wear.

Clean regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and mild soap diluted in warm water.
Avoid abrasive sponges, alcohol-based cleaners, ammonia, or harsh chemicals, as these may dull or damage the epoxy surface.

All epoxy resins may experience some degree of yellowing over long periods, especially with prolonged UV exposure. High-quality epoxy with UV inhibitors greatly slows this process. Keeping the table out of direct sunlight will help preserve clarity and color.

You can restore the surface by wet sanding followed by polishing. Follow these three simple steps:

1. Wet Sanding: Use fine-grit waterproof sandpaper. Always keep the surface wet and sand in gentle.

2. Cleaning: Wipe the table clean and dry it thoroughly to ensure all sanding dust is removed.

3. Polishing: Apply a specialized epoxy polishing compound using a microfiber cloth or a buffer. Rub until the original high-gloss shine is restored.

Epoxy is heat resistant to an extent but not heat-proof. Hot pans, mugs, or cookware can cause surface marks or softening if placed directly on the table. Always use trivets or heat pads.

Routine cleaning is sufficient for regular maintenance. Depending on usage, light polishing every few years can help refresh the surface and extend the table’s lifespan.

Epoxy tables are highly versatile and suit a wide range of interiors, including modern, contemporary, industrial, rustic, Scandinavian, and luxury spaces.
The combination of natural wood and resin creates a balance between organic warmth and modern design.

Yes. Minimalist homes benefit from epoxy tables with neutral resin colors, simple silhouettes, and slim table bases. Matte finishes and subtle resin pours help maintain a clean, uncluttered aesthetic while still adding visual interest.

Yes—live edge tables remain timeless rather than trendy.
Their organic shape, natural character, and uniqueness continue to appeal to homeowners looking for statement pieces that won’t feel outdated over time.

It depends on your space and personal style:

• Blue epoxy creates a dramatic, artistic focal point and works well in open, creative spaces.

• Black epoxy is sleek, elegant, and easier to coordinate with modern or luxury interiors.

Black epoxy is often preferred for long-term versatility, while blue epoxy makes a stronger visual statement.

Absolutely. High-end epoxy tables are often featured in luxury residences, boutique hotels, and designer interiors. Premium wood species, refined resin work, and custom bases elevate epoxy tables into true statement furniture.

Yes. Asymmetrical epoxy tables are increasingly popular for their artistic, custom-made appearance. They feel contemporary and expressive while still grounded by natural wood textures.

Both options work well:

• Metal bases offer a clean, modern look, high strength, and long-term durability.

• Wood bases provide warmth and a cohesive natural aesthetic, especially for rustic or organic designs.

Metal bases are generally preferred for larger or heavier epoxy tables, while wood bases suit softer, traditional interiors.

Epoxy tables are shipped via professional freight carriers due to their size and weight. Depending on the destination and service selected, delivery may include curbside or white-glove options.

Yes. Epoxy tables are heavier than standard wooden tables because of the solid wood slabs and resin content. The weight adds to their stability and premium feel but requires freight shipping rather than standard parcel services.

Cracking during shipping is very rare. Epoxy is designed to be impact-resistant, and tables are packed with reinforced protection to minimize movement and absorb shocks during transit.

Please inspect the package upon delivery. If the outer packaging is visibly damaged, you may refuse the shipment immediately.

If the packaging appears fine but the table inside is damaged, please take clear photos of the damage and contact us right away. We will work with you to find the best solution, whether it be a repair, replacement, or refund.

Typically, delivery takes 9 to 11 weeks once the final drawings (designs) have been confirmed. This timeframe accounts for meticulous production and quality inspection to ensure your table meets our standards.

Assembly is usually required. Most epoxy tables ship with the tabletop and base separated to ensure safe transport. 

By default, our epoxy tables are delivered via curbside delivery, meaning the shipment is brought to the front of your home or building but not carried inside.

If you require inside delivery or white-glove service (bringing the table indoors, unpacking, and placing it in your desired room), this can usually be arranged for an additional fee. Please contact us before shipping to confirm availability and pricing in your area.

Because epoxy tables are custom-made, returns are generally not accepted unless there is a quality issue or shipping damage.
We encourage customers to review all specifications carefully before placing an order.
