Finishes

Each hardwood has several different stain colors that can be applied, each of which will bring out the best qualities of the wood in the color you love.

If you are curious how we apply the finishes, check out our three part staining video series that explains the process in great detail.

Keep in mind we send out wood stain samples to make it easy to select your favorite stain color. Visit our sample request page and we will mail them to you for free!

Table Leaves

Adding leaves to your table is a great way to make your table more versatile. A leaf is typically 12" wide, and one or more can be inserted into the middle of our dining tables to create additional chair space if you're expecting guests.

Most of our tables will take up to four leaves, but some extension tables will take up to 12 leaves for large gatherings.

Leaf storage can be added to many tables as well, which creates a cavity inside the middle of the table, just below the table top, to store leaves when they are not being used. Different tables have different storing capabilities, so see each table description for details.

Table Bases

Dining tables are available in different base designs with varying aesthetic and functional characteristics to consider. Trestle, pedestal, and leg tables are the three main types of bases, each having the potential for a diverse array of styling.

Generally speaking, trestle and double pedestal tables have superior strength, but less under-table space and limited seating capacity. Leg and single pedestal tables may not be as sturdy, but can offer expanded seating capacity and more under-table space.

Table Slides

Slides on a dining table refers to the mechanism under the table top that allows the table top halves to open and close when installing leaves into the table top.

The three types of slides available wooden slides, geared slides, and ball bearing slides. Geared slides are the most common, and are available as a standard option on most tables, while the ball bearing is a option upgrade.

Wooden slides are used mainly on extension leg tables which allow them to extend to twelve feet or more.

Wood or Upholstered Seats

Most of our dining chairs come standard with wood seats with an available upholstery upgrade option.

Upgrading to upholstered seats allows further customization and enhances comfort. Each upholstered seat has high density foam padding to maximize comfort and achieve a plush appearance.

All upholstery and padding is hand installed by the same skilled craftsman that designed and built the chair.

Desk Chair Bases

Our dining chair builders offer the option to convert some of the dining chairs in their line into a desk chair using a desk chair base.

Dining chairs are converted to desk chairs by mounting a desk chair base to the bottom center of a chair seat, in place of the dining chair leg base.

The desk chair bases are available with either a gas or mechanical lift to vertically adjust the seat. Below are some examples of desk chair bases.

Pulls and Knobs

Drawers and doors come with standard knobs and pull hardware, but do haveÂÂÂÂ alternative options available to better suit your style.

Dozens of different styles, colors, and shapes are available, and if you don't like what we offer through our builders, you can send us your own hardware purchased elsewhere.

The image below shows a small portion of what is available from our Scwhartz catalog.

Storage Rail

Some beds are available with optional storage rails that add drawers under each side of the bed.

This is a great way to add more organizable storage space without using additional floor space, and can be used in place of an extra dresser.

Choose between a three and six drawer configuration for each site, to give you a total of six or twelve drawers.

You could use plastic storage under your bed, but that just wouldn't be as classy now would it?

Buffet / Sideboard

Our hutches are two piece, consisting of an upper cabinet which can be removed from the bottom buffet, also known as a sideboard.

The option is often available to only purchase the buffet or sideboard version of a hutch, by not including the upper cabinet.

It usually costs a little more than half of the hutch the purchase only the buffet.

Door Glass

A variety of glass options are available to customize the look of the doors by adding sophistication and intricacy.

Depending on the hutch, different effects can be done to the glass itself, as well as etching, adding a bevel, and metal designs.

A popular glass effect is antique, seedy, and water effects which each bring more character to the piece.
