Whether you are furnishing your home or office one American made manufacturer is a wise choice in shaker and mission style furniture. Spectra Wood started more than 35 years ago as a family hobby and has grown, but is still a smaller company with around 70 craftspeople. This allows for a close attention to detail as well as a guarantee things are hand created. Using American cherry with finger joints and dove tails they make furniture the old fashioned way, and the quality is very evident. I really love the way natural cherry gets richer with age taking on a very warm feel and its own character. The line includes several styles with office, bedroom, dining, as well as a number of armoires and chests for various purposes.
