FAQs

Can I directly purchase wood slabs online?

Grey & Sanders features a wood slabs page on the website for easy reference. However, as every slab is unique, we do not offer a full digital catalogue of every slab online. Only selected options are displayed, and customers are encouraged to enquire for more. To shop wood slabs at Grey & Sanders, we recommend visiting our showroom at Tan Boon Liat Building where you can see and feel the wood in person.

What customisation options are available for a wood slab dining table?

Grey & Sanders offers a wide range of customisation options through our bespoke services, allowing you to tailor from a raw wood slab dining table to suit your exact space, lifestyle, and design preferences.

Customisation begins with selecting the wood species, which determines the table’s colour, grain, and overall character. Popular options include American Black Walnut for rich, dark tones; Indonesian Teak for its warm colour and durability; and American Ashwood for a lighter, minimalist look. As every slab is unique, customers often visit the showroom to hand-pick their preferred piece.

You can then customise the table’s dimensions and edge profile. Options include natural live edges for an organic look or straight and bevelled edges for a cleaner, more structured finish. Depending on design feasibility, slabs may also be shaped into round forms or integrated with extension mechanisms.

The final design is completed by selecting the table base, height, and finish. Choose from steel, wood, or acrylic leg designs to achieve different styles, and finishes ranging from natural oil to protective coatings for durability and ease of maintenance. Each table is crafted as a one-of-a-kind piece made specifically for you.

How do I maintain a wood slab table to ensure durability over time?

All wood slabs, no matter its wood type and quality, must be finished to prevent issues such as warping, cracking, insect infestation which are typically associated with wood furniture. At Grey & Sanders, we choose to finish our wood slabs with Rubio Monocoat Oil. To maintain your Grey & Sanders wood slab, wipe the surface regularly with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Clean up spills promptly to prevent staining, and use coasters or placemats to protect against heat marks and scratches. Avoid harsh cleaners or chemical-based products, and keep the table away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

If stains occur, specialised wood care products such as Rubio Tannin Remover or Surface Care Spray can be used to remove them gently.

Grey & Sanders also offers onsite refinishing services to restore the table’s finish and remove signs of wear over time.

Are your wood slabs for dining tables sustainably sourced?

Yes – Wood slabs from Grey & Sanders are sustainably sourced. 

Our wood slabs are obtained from responsibly managed forests around the world, including species such as  American Black Walnut, American Ashwood and Indonesian Teak. Many of our suppliers provide certificates of sustainability and authenticity.

We also emphasise zero-waste practices by repurposing offcuts into other furniture or accessories, ensuring that each wood slab is used thoughtfully and responsibly.

What is the lead time for a custom-made wood slab table?

Standard wood slabs typically require around 2-3 weeks of production time, allowing sufficient time for fabrication and for finishes to cure properly before delivery.

We also provide custom projects under our bespoke services which usually requires an additional 2-3 weeks.If you are looking for a specific wood slab and would like our team to source it for you, the lead time may take up to 6 months.
