John Boos Le Rustica Table

End grain construction is highly durable and gentle on knife blades, as the wood fibers part to let the edge sink in rather than resisting it. This makes the surface ideal for heavy-duty chopping and food preparation.

The top is finished with Boos Block Cream with beeswax, which helps seal the wood. To maintain its condition, you should regularly apply a food-safe mineral oil or board cream to prevent the wood from drying out or cracking.

The drawers feature sturdy, dovetailed construction for long-term durability. While they provide convenient storage for utensils and kitchen linens, they are designed for standard access rather than full-extension slides.

Yes, the slatted undershelf is built to support standard kitchen items like mixing bowls, small appliances, or extra cookware. It provides a stable, open-air storage solution that keeps your essentials within easy reach.

The table typically arrives partially assembled. You will likely need to attach the legs or base components to the top, so it is recommended to have a second person available to help lift and stabilize the unit during setup.
