Rovere massello, nero tinto, laccato

The black stain is deep and even across the grain, and the lacquer gives it a smooth, almost silky feel that’s held up beautifully on our dining chairs. We’ve had spills wiped off without any marks, and the color hasn’t faded a bit near the window.

The lacquer finish on this black oak is flawless—smooth to the touch with no rough edges catching on sleeves. We paired it with the Merkur chairs and the stain has a deep, even richness that photos don't fully capture. Exactly the solid, dramatic look I wanted for the dining room.
