The Virtues of Solid Cherry Furniture

Cherry wood has long been a popular choice for furniture makers. Its rich, red hue and complex, rippled grain combine with its strength to make solid cherry furniture a much sought-after commodity. Another reason that solid cherry furniture is so desirable is that, like mahogany, cherry grows darker and richer with age.

We use American Black Cherry because it grows locally, its a nice wood to work and takes stain well. The end result is beautiful, distinctly American furniture. Our full collection, featuring a wide variety of cherry tables, can be viewed here.

Need a something to tie the living room together and turn heads at the same time? When it comes to coffee tables, cherry is always a safe bet. For example: check out our Oval Cherry Coffee Table. This piece features a broad surface that will show the grain of the wood and a lower shelf for storing periodicals, books and remotes. We also offer cherry coffee tables in a variety of other shapes and styles so that you can find one to suit any room.

If you are looking for a cherry table that sits a little higher off the ground, our Cherry Sofa Console Table is worth considering. This table is designed to work in a variety of spaces, like behind sofas and in the front hallway. Its sleek build helps it offer substantial surface area without being bulky and dominating the room.

Looking for something smaller? Our collection features a wide selection of cherry end tables that look great by themselves and even better when paired with a cherry coffee table.

Like everything else we make, our solid cherry furniture is made using only sustainably harvested North American lumber and is backed by our 100% Quality Guarantee. All the pieces in our Solid Cherry Collection are available in either our Natural or Heritage Cherry finishes, both of which accentuate the wood’s naturally luxurious grain.

The Deep Hues of Solid Cherry Furniture

What makes solid cherry furniture so special? Why offer a whole collection of cherry furniture? The answer lies in the unique qualities this wood has to offer.

Most of our solid wooden furniture is made out of ash, which has a nice, straight grain and is relatively easy to work for being a hardwood. Plus, ash takes stain very well because of its natural light color.

Cherry makes good furniture for other reasons. For example, cherry has a characteristic warm, reddish hue that pleases the eye and is accentuated by the wood’s rich and complex grain. We use two different kinds of finish (natural cherry and heritage cherry) on our solid cherry furniture to help make the gain and color of the wood really pop.

All of our solid cherry furniture is made using only sustainably harvested North American Black Cherry. This ensures a high quality, eco-friendly product.

If you are interested in finding out more, check out our Solid Cherry Collection. This collection showcases a number of quality pieces, including many cherry coffee tables and end tables. For example, our Round Cherry Coffee Table looks great in any living room, and offers a nice broad surface for magazines, remotes, books and more. It also offers a bottom shelf for out of the way storage.

Another great piece of solid cherry furniture is our 22” Round Cherry End Table. Designed to sit next to a couch or chair, this handsome cherry table is great for flowers or family photos. It also sports a lower shelf for extra space.

At Manchester Wood, all of our furniture is built to the highest standards, and our solid cherry furniture is no exception. The combination of quality materials and premium American workmanship results in a premium final product. Accordingly, we back all of our solid wooden furniture with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Dear Manchester Wood: American Made Furniture,

This is to say how completely satisfied we are with the Tall Double Jelly Cabinet which we just received a few moments ago after ordering it only yesterday. What fast delivery service, and what fine quality woodworking! **We are delighted with the joinery, with the finish, and with the fact that it is made of solid wood (except the back, of course) rather than pressboard. **And we are very happy to be able to buy something of this quality that is made in America. It was packed solidly and arrived without a scratch or dent.

Happy holidays to you, and long may you prosper! We’ll be recommending you to our friends.

Sincerely,  Michael and Paula

First, I am shocked by how fast the bookcase came!  Second, I LOVED that I could still smell stain when I opened the box.  Third, it was very easy to put together and it fits perfectly where I put it. Last, I would not hesitate to order from you again and I will recommend your company to anyone who asks.

I am very impressed with the quality and workmanship of the bookcase. Thank you again.

Sincerely, Mary

The desk [Shaker Secretary Desk] is just what I have been looking for. I bought 3 items, my husband put all 3 items together in much less time than he could put together 1 poorly made imported item. The desk is beautiful, solid wood & it was made in AMERICA. Thank you for offering quality furniture.

-Janice

Solid Wood Cherry Furniture

We mentioned earlier in a previous article how we produce much of our furniture with White ash, but we’ve recently stretched further into North American Hardwoods with the use of Cherry.

Although White ash is the “premier species” for strong, durable wood, Cherry has similar attributes, but also carries a beautiful natural finish that White ash has a hard time competing with.

The beauty in finish is not all that makes this wood so remarkable.

Cherry is a prolific seeder.

Not only does it seed well in its current habitat, but it continues to spread in North America as well as into Mexico, even now, Brazil.

It’s a highly prized wood, but only represents a very small percentage of total lumber production.

In fact, its amazing growth in America points to several reasons.

Appalachian Hardwood Manufacturers, Inc. has cited one interesting reason.

They mention that birds help in assuring the fast spreading seeds of future Cherry trees.

The tree provides many birds with a steady diet, but those seeds that drop from the sky tend to find a new home to grow in.

Take a look at our Solid Cherry Collection, and see how beautiful this wood is.

We also thank the birds and other natural cycles that have allowed this tree to grow to our present use and continuing prevalence.
