Cherrys Aging Process
When your new piece of Green Design Furniture arrives, it will have a light, golden tone. Over the next 12 months the color will darken to a rich, red-brown. Darkening occurs gradually, as the furniture is exposed to light. These photographs illustrate the difference between a brand new tabletop and one that is a year old.

Cherry is a premium American hardwood prized for its natural luster, attractive grain, and rich, warm glow. Green Design Furniture works in cherry harvested from the Allegheny Forest region of Pennsylvania and West Virginia, an area recognized for its sustainable forest practices. This wood has a consistently high quality of grain, color, and width. We also accept orders to make our furniture in other domestic hardwoods, including ash, maple, white oak, and walnut. Until the worldwide rainforest situation improves, we have elected not to work with imported woods.
