Subtle straight to open wood grain on the limed pine or hardwood base, heavily textured through wire-brushing or distressing to emphasize the rustic aesthetic.

Care & Maintenance
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads. Use coasters under drinks to protect the dark top finish from moisture rings, and keep out of direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent fading.
