WHAT TYPE OF WOOD SHOULD I CHOOSE

Our furniture is available in Ash, Cherry, Maple, White Oak, or Walnut. Here is a breakdown of the benefits and drawbacks of each: 

• WHITE ASH - Ash is a light-colored hardwood with a beige to light brown hue. It is durable, lightweight, aesthetically pleasing, and absorbs wood stains well. It’s also one of the most durable American hardwoods and has an extensive history in American furniture making. The least expensive hardwood option we offer is often considered a “budget” version of White Oak and is generally less sought after.

• CHERRY - Cherry wood is among America's most prized furniture hardwoods. It is a smooth-grained, reddish-brown hardwood from the American Black Cherry fruit tree. Cherry is renowned for its color and aging process. It starts a light pink and darkens over time to a rich reddish hue with a lustrous patina. The only downside to this choice is that it is the “softest” hardwood we offer, though it’s still plenty durable enough for a table.

• MAPLE - Maple wood is solid and looks great. People gravitate towards maple for its light, creamy color, smooth grain pattern, and impressive abrasion resistance. It is one of the hardest woods native to North America. Due to inconsistent stain absorption, maple is frequently used with a natural-looking finish or as a base for paint.

• WHITE OAK - White Oak is a premium hardwood that is incredibly beautiful and durable. If you purchase a White Oak Table, it truly is an heirloom piece. It has a long history of use around the home, dating back to pre-colonial times, and remains every bit as popular today. The only drawback is that it is a premium hardwood, which makes it more costly upfront. 

• WALNUT - American Black Walnut is considered the highest-grade hardwood available today. It is often seen as the only dark-brown domestic wood species in upscale cabinets and furniture. This premium option can turn your table into a statement piece in your home. It’s very durable, but what makes it so unique is its beautiful wood grain and color. The most expensive option, but also the most beautiful.
