Description

This old, salvaged school lab table with an accompanying pair of tall stools is an absolute blast from the past for anyone who grew up in the seventies / eighties. Karl’s completed a thoughtful restoration of the table taking due care not to strip away all its character, pen scratches, compass pricks and history. Made with a dark, solid iroko table top and solid blond beech legs, its construction is super solid, built to withstand the daily rough and tumble of school life. The two tall, solid oak stools are most likely not ex-school – their design is a little too finessed! – but they were acquired as a set and they partner brilliantly with the table, tucking neatly under when not in use and of course, both sides of the table and the ends can be sat at. This set would make an excellent kitchen island or breakfast bar.

Original Homewares offers a thoughtfully selected collection of vintage & midcentury furniture, lights & homeware, chosen for today’s homes. Our goal is to present well-crafted, well-designed, practical pieces with narrative & character that still have a place & purpose. Sourcing from across the UK & Europe, from all periods, ranging from late 19th Century antiques to classic midcentury design to considered items from the past 25-30 years.

Condition report:

This original, vintage set is ‘sold as seen’. Overall it is in good – very good, used condition. The school / lab table has been partially restored. It has been thoroughly cleaned and the solid iroko (a very hard-wearing dark wood, similar to mahogany) table top has been carefully stripped, oiled and wax polished for a durable finish but with due care taken not to strip all the soul and character away. There are still knocks, dents and marks in the wood. The legs and base have had a wax polish applied but otherwise the finish here is original and as you can see in our photos it is lightly marked and scuffed through use. The pair of accompanying solid oak stools have also been stripped and waxed too so are in very good order. We don’t believe these are original ex-school stools but they were acquired with the table and they go very well, tucking under tidily. Both the table and the stool pair are in good – very good order, well-made and solid with no wobbles, repairs or joint concerns. Do browse our photos for a good sense of its condition. If you have any questions or would like to view this set, just get in touch.

Returns

We have a 14-day return guarantee for orders from individual sellers, within the UK and European Union. View full policy.

We can arrange fast delivery with experienced delivery partners who cover most of the UK mainland that we have worked with for many years. We have a weekly collection of sold pieces, usually every Thursday, and onward delivery to our customers follows 1-5 days after this, depending on the delivery address. They are reliable and insured but their service does require a little flexibility as they work to set routes. They will confirm a date when they are next in your area and able to deliver. They will then update you directly via text with delivery updates and timings.

Please enquire for Scotland & remote addresses - we can quote separately for this.

Smaller items, such as lamps, are sent via DPD to UK mainland locations and the price is quoted in the description for this service. Tracking information is provided and this is a Mon-Fri delivery service.

You are of course very welcome to collect or arrange your own collection / delivery - just let us know.

Feel free to drop us a message if you'd like to know about delivery dates and options prior to purchase.

Seller Reviews

Cancellations and Returns

Last updated: 17th October 2024

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.

If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.

Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.

Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Can I cancel an order?

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.

To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.

Can I return an item?

At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.

In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.

Types of returns and responsibilities

Change of mind return

Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.

Item not fit for purpose

Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.

Damage in transit

Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

How to request a return

To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.

How you will be refunded?

Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.

If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.

What can't be returned?

As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.

Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.

Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
