Samanea Saman Timber X-Shaped Dining Table Frame
The VT-CGX Timber X-Shaped Dining Table Frame combines the natural character of solid Samanea Saman timber with a distinctive X-frame design. Created for dining tables and custom furniture projects, this complete table-base system provides a balanced foundation for solid timber, live-edge and epoxy resin tabletops.
Each X-shaped end is constructed from substantial timber sections measuring 100 mm thick. The two ends are connected by a black support structure, helping maintain alignment and improve the overall stability of the completed table.
Also known as Rain Tree, Samanea Saman is valued for its warm natural colour, expressive grain and individual timber character. These natural variations make every table frame visually unique.

Natural Samanea Saman Timber
Samanea Saman, commonly known as Rain Tree, is recognised for its warm tones and naturally varied grain. Its organic appearance pairs especially well with solid timber and epoxy tabletops, creating a coordinated furniture design from the tabletop through to the base.
Natural grain variation, knots, tonal differences and small surface characteristics are inherent features of real timber. They should not be considered manufacturing defects. These variations help ensure that each Timber X dining table frame has its own individual appearance.
Distinctive X-Shaped Design
The crossed timber geometry creates a bold architectural profile suitable for contemporary, rustic and modern Australian interiors. Its wide stance helps establish a visually balanced base beneath a rectangular dining tabletop.
Unlike two separate timber legs, the NTSTX70FR is designed as a connected table-base system. Its black support structure joins the two X-shaped ends, helping maintain their position and alignment when correctly assembled.
Suitable Tabletop Types
This timber dining table frame may be used with a variety of suitable tabletop designs, including:
- Solid Samanea Saman timber tabletops
- Live-edge timber slabs
- Straight-edge timber tabletops
- Timber and epoxy resin tabletops
- Custom rectangular dining tabletops
- Residential dining tables
- Selected hospitality or light commercial furniture
Final compatibility depends on the tabletop’s length, width, thickness, weight and construction, as well as the selected mounting method and frame placement.
Installation Information
Correct installation is essential for maintaining alignment, stability and balanced weight distribution. Before attaching the tabletop, position the frame carefully and confirm that both X-shaped ends are level and correctly aligned.
- Use fixings suitable for the tabletop material and thickness.
- Check the required screw length before installation.
- Confirm that the frame is level before tightening all connections.
- Position the frame according to the dimensions and weight of the tabletop.
- Professional installation is recommended for large or heavy tabletops.
Please note: Mounting screws and installation accessories may not be included, as the appropriate fixings depend on the construction and thickness of the selected tabletop.
Load and Compatibility Guidance
The performance of the completed table depends on the tabletop dimensions and weight, the position of the base, the fixing method and the quality of installation. Suitability should be assessed individually for oversized, unusually heavy or commercial-use tabletops.
No specific maximum load rating should be assumed unless it has been confirmed through appropriate product testing.
Care and Maintenance
- Clean the timber using a soft, slightly damp cloth.
- Dry the surface promptly after cleaning.
- Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners and excessive moisture.
- Keep the frame away from prolonged direct sunlight and extreme heat.
- Check the mounting points periodically and retighten them when required.
