Ming Style Round Redwood Dining Table 8-Seat Set

Round Redwood Dining Table with Eight Matching Chairs

Solid Siamese rosewood (Dalbergia cochinchinensis) formed into a round top measuring approximately 150 cm in diameter, paired with eight hand-built chairs. The table stands 78 cm tall, and each chair seat sits 45 cm from the floor with a 95 cm backrest. These dimensions accommodate eight adult diners with enough elbow room for shared plates, which is the layout most Chinese families and Chinese-American restaurant buyers ask for when sourcing a formal round dining set.

The Ming-style round design is structural, not decorative. Four curved cabriole legs splay outward to the floor at a calculated angle, carrying the tabletop weight without a centre pedestal. This leg geometry leaves the area under the table open, so eight chairs can be tucked fully underneath when not in use. The chair backrests use the classic open-slat Ming pattern, cut and fitted by hand in our Zhangzhou workshop.

Dimensions at a Glance

Food-Safe Lacquer Finish for North American Buyers

The entire set receives a glossy lacquer topcoat formulated to meet FDA 21 CFR 175.300 food-contact requirements. This is the specific compliance point that US importers and Canadian health-conscious buyers raise during procurement, because a dining table surface touches food directly. We apply five lacquer coats in a controlled-dust spray booth, sanding between each coat, then polish the final layer to a mirror gloss that shows the rosewood grain underneath.

The lacquer base is a nitrocellulose and polyurethane blend cured at room temperature. It resists hot food containers up to 80 degrees Celsius on direct surface contact, and it wipes clean with a damp cloth without discolouring. For European buyers, we can switch the coating system to an EN 71-3 compliant formulation on request, since the same set is sometimes used in hospitality settings where the Toy Safety Directive migration limits apply to furniture coatings.

Joinery and Structural Assembly

No metal screws hold this set together. The table apron connects to the leg posts using mortise-and-tenon joints cut to 18 mm tenon depth, secured with bamboo dowel pins. Each chair frame uses the same joinery method at the seat rail to back-post junction, which is the highest-stress connection point on any dining chair. Dried fish-tail glue, a traditional Chinese furniture adhesive made from animal protein, fills the joint faces for friction lock without synthetic resin off-gassing.

Siamese rosewood has an air-dry density of 0.85 to 1.05 g per cubic centimetre, placing it well above the 0.60 threshold that furniture engineers use to classify hardwood. This density is what allows the thin Ming-style leg profiles to carry real sitting load without flexing. The trade-off is weight: a single chair weighs approximately 12 kg, and the table ships at roughly 45 kg.

What Buyers Should Confirm Before Ordering

• Doorway and room clearance at the destination: the 150 cm tabletop is one piece and does not fold, so measure any hallway or stairwell turn on the delivery route.
• Freight class and LCL vs FCL preference: one set ships as two cubic metres of volumetric cargo, so consolidated LCL works for single-set orders and 20-foot FCL fits nine sets for wholesale.
• CITES Appendix II documentation: Siamese rosewood (Dalbergia cochinchinensis) is a listed species, and each export shipment carries a CITES export permit issued by China's CITES Management Authority. Confirm your destination country's import permit lead time before booking freight.freight.
• Indoor climate: like all solid hardwood, this set performs best at 40 to 60 percent relative humidity. North American winter heating seasons can drop humidity below 30 percent, so a room humidifier is advisable for buyers in cold-climate states and provinces.

Packaging and Transit

Each piece is wrapped in a non-woven fabric sleeve, then packed in a corrugated carton with EPS foam corner blocks at every leg joint. The full set fills two cartons (one for the tabletop and legs, one for the eight chairs stacked in pairs). Carton dimensions are 160 by 85 by 25 cm and 95 by 60 by 65 cm. Total gross weight is approximately 155 kg. This packaging has passed a 1-metre drop test on all six faces, which is the standard we use for ocean freight to Long Beach, Vancouver, and Rotterdam.
