Short answer: This is old growth North American White Oak with Woca Oil Rub Finish.

Longer answer: This is an old floor in San Francisco that is at the end of its life. It is the SF traditional 5/16 X 2" top nailed Oak that has been popular for decades. It handles our humidity changes - rain forest in the winter and desert in the summer. It was originally 5/16" thick but has been sanded many times. The owner wanted to preserve what was left. She chose a Woca oil rub finish. In theory it will never be sanded again. But it has to be properly maintained. It requires regular mopping with a specific soap that contains fats. It will require refresher coats. Do your home work on the maintenance before you have oil rub finishes applied. I strongly recommend against having oil rub finishes in houses that also contain urethane finished floors. The maintenance is totally different and if the wrong cleaner is used it can damage the hardwood.

We followed Woca instructions for sanding and coating except we applied 2 coats of the master oil and one coat of their maintenance paste (probably one coat more than really needed). The colors of this old growth Oak came alive with the Woca. Newer woods will not have this same patina or tight grain.

A beautiful old floor!

I have a very well built set of furniture my Father made - so for the emotional reasons I will not give it up. Then comes the BUT - it is pale and made out of solid birch with absolutely beautiful flaming, swirling type of wood - and I love dark almost black, black and some grey for my furniture. I like silver over gold, latter of which I will not accept. It is crime to paint wood - generally speaking especially when it is beautiful - and so I will not do. The set of furniture includes a bit over 3 m long very near ceiling height book selves with center area designed for the TV and a stereo.. electronics. It has its own lights. There is section with led-glass and other with wood doors - some open shelves. Down there is a bit larger base with drawers. Then there exists an additional extension which can also be set else where in a room. There is 1 sqm large a coffee table high enough to work as a laptop table with structural design and a hidden base compartment for a home safe (how ever not good for permanent work table - no way). I designed the table top for it and made it when I was a teen. The design includes glass cover. In addition I have a nicely sized, bit larger than usually lamp table with 3 drawers. I designed the legs for that - so they are not common type while still simple. They are more narrow at the ends than at the top. They have silver handles and traditional framed centers for the doors. The pale birch of the doors in this particular object found online is exactly what my birch is like - tone included... I like the black legs on that. I do like Art Deco - but something about this object just does not work. I need more options and ideas. This might be just the first and most important piece of furniture to get because... I prefer much more things like these.. Please help me to find that small, but not too small a piece that can unite well enough dark and the existing pale birch. Thank you.

Microwave next to the table would solve the bad looks and the height issue. Normally upper cabinets can be about 48cm above countertop, but since it looks better to have them on the same height as the built-in hood, you'll need 60cm. But if you're 1.60m you could consider a free hanging hood and some upper cabinets next to it, otherwise all uppers would be too high for you and you'd only use the lower shelf. And even better: Buy an oven with microwave function! (already posted that I think) Oven with microwave is different than microwave with grill. I even have a 12 year old tiny Panasonic combi that makes perfect bread and pizza!
