Hyre's Country Haven Mahogany Footrest /End Table

Our furniture is constructed of Kiln dried 5/4-inch Dark Red Meranti Variety Mahogany. We use 5/4-inch lumber throughout our entire product line, with the finished thickness of 1 1/16-inch thick. Mahogany is a tropical hardwood that is easily maintained and is insect, fungus and rot resistant. It is a hard and strong wood comparable in strength to Oak and Teak, and is much more scratch resistant than Cedar or Pine. With the best regards for our environment we take every effort to ensure that our Mahogany is sourced from well-managed permanent forests that allocate re-plantation.

All our exposed hardware is of the highest quality stainless steel finished brass to eliminate rust and staining of the wood. Our bolts are of 5/16-inch diameter to give us a strong securing fastener. We also use 5/16-inch hanger bolts for fastening the back of the arm to the back leg. (A hanger bolt is a bolt that is a wood screw on one side and nut threaded on the other). Hanger bolts give the arm a very strong, sturdy and non breakable fasten to the chair.

Some of the special features of our furniture include plugged screw holes that are sanded flush for a smooth finish. It has been our experience that plugged screw holes not only look and feel nice by adding a touch of quality but they also provide a purpose. With a screw hole just countersunk the wood has a tendency to surface crack at the middle of the screw hole and extend to the end grain of the wood. Though this kind of cracking is not damaging to the furniture we can prevent this from happening by simply plugging the screw holes. We also provide button caps to cover screw holes that have to be left unplugged for shipping and reassembly by the customer leaving no exposed holes on the finished product. All edges of our furniture is routered with a round over. This gives our furniture a smooth sculptured look and feel and eliminates snags and splinters.
