Please use these wood samples for comparison purposes only. The actual color of a wood species will vary from board to board. Grain and color characteristics are matched as closely as possible when a piece of furniture is built.

To order up to 3 wood samples of your choice for $20 click the "Add to Cart" button below and specify what woods you would like samples of in the comment section when you check out. The $20 charge will be credited toward your purchase when you order your furniture.

cherryCherry
Cherry darkens rapidly with exposure to sunlight. When you first receive a new piece of cherry furniture it will be fairly light in color like the right half of the sample. Over the period of 6 to 12 months it will darken to the color of the left half of the sample. After this initial period of rapid darkening the color stabilizes. Pieces bought at different times will eventually reach the same color.
