WOODS & Stains
PREMIUM ALDER & KNOTTY ALDER
Light brown in color with a yellow, peach or reddish tinge. Fairly straight grained with uniform texture.
Color Disclaimer
Due to the many configurations of monitors and browsers, images of woods and colors will look different on different monitors. What you see on your screen, will not be an exact match to the actual product.
WOOD CHARACTER
Only the finest woods are used for the finest cabinetry. Crystal offers the largest selection of choice woods. Wood grain patterns display the natural, inherent beauty of wood. Differences in color and wood grain are directly related to the life of the tree and variations in forest growing conditions. The color of the wood will always change as it is exposed to light, both natural and artificial, over time. Some species, like cherry, will change dramatically and quickly, others will change subtly and slowly. This will occur even if the wood has a colored stain over its natural beauty.
