Walnut lumber for a reside edge piece is extra available due to its recognition. You may ask: Why are walnut reside edge items so in style? Effectively, there is no such thing as a direct reply, however we right here at Unruh imagine it’s due to the looks.
When utilizing walnut for reside edge furnishings, you’ll be able to see a hoop of blonde wooden accompanying the sting of the reside slab. This blonde wooden is the “sapwood” from the tree.
Pure walnut slabs have such a deep brown shade that the sapwood actually stands out and creates a wonderful variance on the piece of furnishings. We predict, for that reason, walnut is the go-to on the subject of reside edge furnishings.
The mere measurement of walnut timber can also be an excellent indicator of why so many reside edge items at present are made out of their trunks. Although white oak timber are comparable in measurement, they aren’t as visually fascinating when minimize into reside edge slabs.

Heavy bases distract from the reside edge, and it additionally seems like design overload when the desk base and the tabletop are competing for “most original”.
Metal-based tables have already got a leg up on modernity, so designing a reside edge for the highest matches very properly. Any of Unruh’s steel-based tables could be an ideal companion to a reside edge high. A few of our favourite steel-based designs for reside edge tops are the Boulevard Desk and the Buffalo Creek Desk.
