I own quite a few pieces of Chatham furniture - it started with a set of occasional tables (including this coffee table) and expanded to include a glass-doored bookcase and an entire bedroom suite. I got all my pieces in natural cherry. Everything I've ever gotten from Chatham has been TOP quality - solid wood with no veneers, dovetailed drawers, wood drawer glides, etc. Their furniture is understated in terms of design - nice, clean lines - which I love, but still stunningly beautiful and we get many compliments on it. The natural cherry started out light but darkened in no time, and after 4 years, it has acquired a really rich and warm reddish to medium brown patina. Just lovely, and indicative of having the "real thing" - no stain can match the beauty of naturally aged cherry. If you compare prices, you'll find that Chatham is quite fairly priced. I found far more expensive furniture locally that was still "select hardwoods and veneers" ... no thanks."..." Read more
