Is this actually solid wood, or a veneer over a frame?
Solid teak casework — top, doors, and shelves, with no MDF or particleboard anywhere in the piece. Knock anywhere and it answers solid; plan on two adults to move it, which is what solid weighs. The boards spend twenty days in a temperature-controlled kiln before the first cut, and the doors are hand-fitted to close with a soft, even gap.
Can the interior be laid out for my use?
Each sideboard is made to order: length, interior layout, and leg height all adjust. Wine storage, plate racks, and cable openings for a media wall are common additions — tell us what lives inside and we build for it.
What happens at delivery?
Sideboards arrive fully assembled — doors hung, shelves in, no allen key, no lost Saturday. Plan on two people to carry it; once placed, the adjustable levelers square the doors on an uneven floor in minutes.
How do I care for the top and doors?
Wipe the top after serving, use trivets under hot dishes, and oil once or twice a year — a twenty-minute job. That is the tradeoff of an oil finish, and also the point: a worn spot re-oils at home, where a chipped film finish means a refinisher.
How do I dust the carved wave doors?
A soft dry brush or microfiber cloth follows the ridges easily; nothing catches or traps dust the way fabric or cane fronts do. At your yearly oiling, work oil into the hollows with a cloth-wrapped fingertip.
How does a sideboard travel?
Freight, in a fitted crate with the interior braced and the corners blocked. We send tracking and schedule the window with you. Photograph the crate before the driver leaves and note anything on the receipt — if it arrives damaged, we make it right.
