In short: “Daisy” No. 16 is an oval oak table whose top is laid out of petal-shaped planks around a round center, like a daisy flower. By the table stand a long bench with a backrest of nine petals and chairs with backrests of three petals and crossed legs. The table size, the number of seats and the finish are agreed individually with each customer.
An oval oak table that blooms like a daisy
In the photo the set stands on gravel on a sunny day, next to a path of paving blocks. Behind it you can see a log building with a natural-shaped trunk and a low fence of branches, and on the left a metal fence and a post. The furniture was photographed from the front and slightly from above, so the whole pattern of the tabletop can be seen well.
In bright sun the light, honey-colored finish almost glows. Each petal has its own pattern of rings, and the gaps between them look like thin light lines converging at the center. A table like this catches the eye at once and recalls a summer meadow.
On a sunny day the gaps between the petals cast thin strips of light on the ground, so even the shadow under the table looks like a pattern. You will not notice such details in furniture bought at a store, yet in a yard they bring joy every day.
The daisy is one of the most recognizable flowers of a Lithuanian meadow. Furniture whose shape recalls a daisy creates a bright, cheerful mood in a yard or on a terrace. It suits families with children, farmsteads, cafe terraces and anywhere you want not only comfortable but also distinctive furniture.
Laukbaldis makes its furniture from solid oak, so this playful shape does not mean fragility. Thick planks, massive legs and sturdy joints let the furniture last a long time outdoors.
The log building with a trunk column and a fence of branches in the background of the photo shows what this furniture goes well with. Wood in its natural shape and the petal pattern speak a similar language: both recall nature, not a factory. So “Daisy” is worth choosing if your yard already has a log gazebo, a sauna or other wooden structures.
A tabletop of petals
A round disk is set in the center of the tabletop, the middle of the daisy. Elongated planks fan out from it in all directions, their outer ends rounded. Together they form an oval tabletop with a wavy, petal-like edge. Narrow gaps are left between the planks, so the pattern is clearly visible and at the same time rainwater can run off.
Because the tabletop is oval, the petals are of unequal length: the longer ones point to the ends of the table and the shorter ones to the sides. As a result the pattern is not perfectly symmetrical and looks alive, like a real flower, which is never ideally regular.
The oval shape is convenient for a larger group. More people fit along the long edges than at a round table, and the rounded ends let you sit at the ends of the table too. There is plenty of room on the table for dishes, and the round center disk suits a vase of flowers or a bowl of fruit.
A tabletop like this takes careful work from the craftsmen. Every petal has to be cut, rounded and fitted to its neighbors so that the gaps are even and the whole edge is smooth. That is why a daisy-shaped table looks not like an ordinary plank top but like a carefully created object that is pleasant to examine up close.
The table is held up by massive legs visible under the tabletop. They rest widely on the ground, so the table stands steadily even on gravel. The legs are set back from the edge of the tabletop, so they do not get in the way of those sitting, and there is enough room under the table for legs.
A bench with a nine-petal backrest
A long bench stands at the front. Its backrest consists of nine petal-shaped boards with rounded tops, grouped in threes. In each trio the middle petal is slightly taller, so the backrest looks like three small flowers in a row. A horizontal strip joins the petals, and a row of round wooden dowels can be seen in it.
The seat of the bench is made of a thick plank, and its ends are chamfered. The side legs are wide, curved boards that widen toward the bottom and stand steadily on the base. A bench with a petal backrest suits not only a table: it can be placed on its own, by the wall of a house or a flower bed.
A bench by the long side of the table lets you seat several people side by side. Children especially like this: you can slide along the bench, make room for a friend, and the petals of the backrest become part of the game.
The bench back is tall enough to lean on comfortably, and the curved tops of the petals have no sharp corners. The petals are spaced with gaps, so the backrest dries quickly after rain, and the wind blows through it instead of pushing the bench.
Chairs with three-petal backs
Chairs stand at the ends of the table. The back of each consists of three petal-shaped boards, of which the middle one is the tallest. The chair legs are crossed like the letter X, and a wooden dowel is visible at the crossing. The seats are made of several boards with narrow gaps.
Beyond the table you can see three more such three-petal backs, so a continuous wreath of petals forms around the table. From afar the whole set looks like a large blooming plant, not ordinary furniture.
The crossed chair legs are not only beautiful but also practical. They rest widely on the ground, so the chair stands firmly even on uneven gravel. The chairs have no armrests, so they are easy to push up to the table or carry elsewhere.
The combination of chairs and a bench allows flexible seating. Every day the family can sit at the table, and when guests arrive, chairs can be added or moved. When ordering, it is worth thinking about how many seats you usually need and how many on holidays, so that the set is convenient in both cases.

The daisy motif is repeated in other sets too: the garden furniture set “Daisy” with petal backrests No. 8, the terrace furniture “Daisy 2” No. 7 and the round garden table “Daisy” No. 17. You will find all the models in the section garden and outdoor furniture.
Where to put it and how to look after it
Oak terrace furniture with a petal motif looks best in a spacious place where the whole pattern of the tabletop can be seen. A terrace, an area of paving blocks, a gravel yard or a spacious gazebo are all suitable. You will find examples of gazebos in the section wooden gazebos.
- The base. On gravel, paving blocks or terrace boards the furniture stands steadily and dries quickly. On a lawn it is worth putting slabs under the legs.
- Sun. A light finish glows nicely in the sun, but over time it may lighten even more. That is natural.
- Cleaning. Clear crumbs and leaves out of the gaps between the petals from time to time.
- Oil. Once a season, coat the furniture with an oil made for exterior wood, especially the ends of the petals and the bottoms of the legs.
- Winter. It is best to keep the furniture under a roof or cover it with a breathable cover.
A light finish is worth cleaning a little more often than a dark one, because stains show more on it. A damp cloth or a mild soap solution is enough, and it is better not to use strong cleaners.
If the surface becomes lighter or rough after a few years, it can be lightly sanded and coated with oil again. Solid oak allows this to be done more than once, so the furniture can serve for many years and still look tidy.
How to order “Daisy” No. 16
UAB “Laukbaldis” has worked since 1996 and, as the company states, was the first in Lithuania to start making this production. The furniture is made of solid oak by experienced craftsmen, and the natural grain of the wood makes every petal distinctive. That is why even sets of the same model differ from one another.
Call +370 687 25388 and quote No. 16. Tell us how many people usually sit at the table, whether you want benches, chairs or both, and which finish you like. The website shows only typical examples, so the oval oak table and its seats are matched to your space.
Before you call, measure the spot where the furniture will stand. An oval table with a bench and chairs needs more room lengthwise than crosswise, so it suits an elongated terrace or a part of the yard along the wall of a house. If you have photos of the site, they will help you choose the right size faster.
