Our talented craftsman in the workroom not only manufacturer our custom furniture in an acrylic or laminate finish but they also do custom staining on a wide selection of wood types. They even color match! If you want your furniture piece to be the same color as your floor - send us a sample of your flooring and we will match it EXACTLY! We will fulfill your individual requests and requirements based upon your specifications. Staining creates a beautiful, high quality and sophisticated feel. If you feel more like combining traditional with modern - this would be our suggested finish option! (Or try a woodgrain laminate and veneer finish)
We have built pieces and cabinetry with just about every domestic hardwood available plus a wide selection of exotic species. Each species will stain differently. If you have any questions we will gladly answer them! We also can provide wood samples with your specified stain color (for a small fee... this is a specialty wood and stain!) Have a specific wood species? Let us know and we will make it!
