A table is not something you buy every year. So we have set out the pros and cons of Mortex honestly, so you know what to expect and whether it suits the way you live.

The pros
Seamless. The top and the edge get one continuous skin, with no joints or seams. There is no gap for crumbs and no line to distract the eye.
Any shape, any size. Because we apply the Mortex by hand, a free shape is no problem. Round, oval, Danish, Finnish or Swedish oval, rectangular or organic: you choose the size.
96 colours, one price. From white and sand to olive and deep blue. A dark or bold colour costs nothing extra.
Unique. Subtle nuances and slight differences in texture make every table different. Your table really is yours.
Calm in an interior. The matt, mineral look sits well with wood, linen, stone and plants. It draws the eye without shouting.
The points to watch
No hot pan directly on the top. A pan or oven dish straight from the heat always goes on a trivet. Heat damage is not covered by the guarantee.
No acidic or aggressive products. Vinegar, lemon, descaler or harsh cleaning products do not belong on Mortex. If you spill a glass of wine or juice, wipe it up quickly.
Mortex is strong, but it is not stone. A sharp or heavy object scraped across the top can leave marks. Lift rather than slide, and put something under sharp things.
Handmade is not factory-made. If you want every square centimetre to be exactly the same, you will find the nuances distracting. To us they are the most beautiful thing about Mortex, but it is good to know beforehand.

Care: less than you think
A soft, slightly damp cloth is enough for everyday cleaning. Usually nothing more is needed. You get a care sheet with your delivery, with everything in one place. How to deal with wine, coffee or oil is explained in Red wine, coffee and oil on a Mortex table. And for keen cooks: Can a hot pan go on a Mortex table?
Price and guarantee
A round Mortex table of Ø 120 cm has a guide price of €2,499, a Finnish oval table of 240 x 110 cm €3,199, VAT included. All colours cost the same.
You get the legal 2-year guarantee from delivery. It does not cover damage from heat, acidic or aggressive products, knocks, scratches, stains caused by lack of care, or normal signs of use. That is not small print meant to surprise you, but exactly why we list the points to watch so clearly above.
Is Mortex right for you?
Mortex suits people who want a table with character, in a shape and colour you will not find anywhere else, and who are happy to use a trivet. If you have young children or eat at the table every day, that works perfectly well: placemats and a trivet already make a big difference. It quickly becomes a habit, just like a coaster under a glass.
