Know before you buy
The doors feature a traditional barrister mechanism, meaning they slide upward and retract into the shelf space above. This allows you to keep the doors open for easy access while you work without them obstructing your office walkway.
Quartersawn White Oak is the best choice for a prominent, distinct grain pattern. The milling process reveals unique 'ray fleck' markings that are highly prized for their character and durability.
Yes, this piece is handcrafted as a solid unit. Because of its weight and the precision of the door mechanisms, it is delivered fully assembled and ready for placement.
The Colbran is designed as a single, cohesive four-door unit. While it offers significant vertical storage, it is intended to function as a standalone piece rather than a modular system.
Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or silicone-based polishes. If you need to clean a spill, use a slightly damp cloth followed immediately by a dry one to protect the wood's integrity.
