Reclaimed Chestnut Writing Desk With Drawer
This simple yet elegant Shaker style work table is made from solid naturally distressed reclaimed American Chestnut barn wood, shown here with an Early American stain. The surface is planed to a satin smooth finish and sealed with multiple coats of fine furniture grade traditional oil urethane for long wear and durability. Dimensions pictured are 45 inches long, 36 inches high and 18 inches wide and one drawer, though of course custom sizing and configuration is always available. A lovely addition to any home or office, great as a writing desk, computer table or hall console.

For Reclaimed Antique Oak Farmhouse Dining Chairs5.0Very happy with the chairs we received from the Strong Oaks Woodshop. The photos do not do justice to the final product. These chairs are very sturdy and each one is unique. Great attention to detail. Communication was very good throughout the project and chairs came well packaged and undamaged. Overall expectations were exceeded. You could not find a set of mass produced chairs that come close to these in quality and uniqueness. Highly recommend!

For Dining Chairs4.7We received the chairs today and they are perfect. They are very well built, very rustic, solid chairs. The packaging was great....it really protected them. We asked for some custom features: 21" high seats instead of the typical 19" high seats and a stain color to match an existing table. Both are perfect. Thank you to Strong Oaks Woodshop for customizing our dining chairs!

For Reclaimed Antique Wood Parsons Table4.7We love our table. It is attractive, sturdy, and just the right size for our space. Initial follow-up communications took a while, but when I got to the right place after a few emails, Mike was very helpful with suggestions for lessening the impact of water stains using Danish oil. Shipping was certainly secure, but the shipping company would not disengage the table from the pallet and left that to me. Fortunately, I had helpful friends and neighbors.

For Modern Style Bar Stools With Back Rest Made From Reclaimed Wood And Metal3.8We ordered metal/wood bar stools with padded leather seats. The quality and workmanship of the metal and wood fabrication was very good. The stools did arrive with damaged feet, but the folks at Strong Oaks were quick to provide replacements - very responsive. The workmanship on the padded leather seats was just OK - clearly not their expertise. Overall all happy with the purchase.
