Know before you buy
The smooth top offers a clean, uniform surface ideal for a polished look, while the reclaimed barn wood top features unique character marks, knots, and textures from its previous life. Choosing reclaimed wood adds a rustic, historical element to the piece, whereas the smooth top highlights the natural grain of your chosen wood species.
Mortise and tenon is a traditional woodworking technique where one piece of wood is inserted into a hole in another, creating a mechanical lock that is significantly stronger than simple glue or nails. This construction method ensures the buffet remains stable and rigid over decades of daily use.
Hardwoods like Hard Maple, Walnut, and Quarter Sawn White Oak are exceptionally dense and resistant to dents and scratches. If you prefer a more rustic aesthetic, Rustic Hickory is also highly durable, though it will feature more natural knots and color variations.
Yes, the drawers are designed for smooth operation and longevity. They are built to handle the weight of dining essentials like silverware, linens, or serving platters without sagging.
The buffet is available in three sizes—48, 54, and 60 inches wide—all with a consistent depth of 20 inches. We recommend measuring your wall space and accounting for clearance to ensure the drawers can open fully without obstructing traffic flow.
Reclaimed wood is finished to be food-safe and durable, but because of its natural texture, it may require a bit more attention when cleaning. We recommend wiping spills immediately and using a soft cloth to avoid snagging on any deeper character marks in the wood.
