Sheesham is rosewood indigenous to India. Hardwood, dense, heavy, durable. Has cathedral like grain. Our wood is kiln-dried. We guarantee the seams in our furniture will not open up beyond a slight movement that may be expected with rustic furniture made with a panel construction. Please note that a seam split differs from the natural distress of the wood. Cracks within the wood, knots, indentations and other superficial imperfections. Also, our furniture is hand-made and there are elements of that construction filled nail holes. That can be seen upon close inspection. They blend in with the look of our furniture and add to the rustic charm. Our product is rustic and hand-finished. Pieces will have a consistent overall tone. However there are some variances in the finishes and therefore We Cannot Guarantee matching. Please note: grain, texture and tones will vary from piece to piece due to the nature of the wood and its hand-finished processing.
