Delivery is the final step in bringing your furniture home—and we work hard to ensure it’s handled with the same level of care as when it was built.

Coordinating Your Delivery
Once your furniture is complete and ready to ship, it is assigned to a professional delivery carrier. These carriers specialize in furniture transport and operate on established routes to ensure safe and efficient delivery.

You will be contacted directly to schedule your delivery within their available windows.

Delivery Options
We offer delivery experiences designed to fit your needs:

• Curbside Delivery: Your furniture is delivered to your home and placed in a safe, accessible location outside.

• White Glove In-Home Delivery: Your piece is brought inside, placed in your room of choice, and packaging materials are removed for you.

Scheduling & Flexibility
You’re welcome to share your availability when the carrier reaches out. While they do their best to accommodate requested dates, delivery schedules are based on route planning and capacity. If a specific date isn’t available, your delivery will be scheduled for the next available route in your area.

Delivery Day
On delivery day, your furniture will be handled by an experienced team trained in transporting large, high-quality pieces. If you’ve selected white glove service, they’ll ensure everything is placed exactly where it belongs before completing the delivery.

 Ever wonder what happens after you place an order?

Step 1: Design & Planning
Details are finalized to match your exact needs.

Step 2: Material Selection
High-quality wood is carefully chosen.

Step 3: Craftsmanship
Skilled artisans build each piece by hand.

Step 4: Finishing Touches
Staining, sealing, and detailing bring the piece to life.

From start to finish, every step is intentional and precise.

 Fast furniture may be convenient—but it comes at a cost.

Lower Quality Materials
Particle board and veneers don’t hold up over time.

Short Lifespan
Many pieces need replacing within just a few years.

Environmental Impact
 Frequent disposal leads to more waste.

 Investing in quality reduces waste and saves money in the long run.

Not all woods are created equal. Understanding the differences between maple and walnut can help you choose the perfect piece for your space.

Furniture does more than fill a room; it transforms it. Styling pieces thoughtfully enhances their beauty and functionality. Here’s how The Wood Reserve furniture can elevate your space.

A raw slab of wood holds endless possibilities. With skill, patience, and vision, artisans transform it into furniture that lasts generations. Here’s how a simple slab becomes a refined masterpiece at The Wood Reserve.

Every piece of wood is unique. From subtle swirls to bold streaks, wood grain carries character, history, and personality. At The Wood Reserve, we celebrate these natural details that make each piece of furniture one-of-a-kind.

Live edge furniture blends nature with design — but it’s not for everyone. Here’s the honest breakdown.

Pros

✔ One-of-a-kind character
✔ Natural curves and movement
✔ Works beautifully in modern or rustic homes
✔ Showcases the raw beauty of real hardwood

Cons

✘ Higher cost
✘ More variation (which some love, others don’t)
✘ Slightly harder to pair with very minimalistic spaces

If you want a statement piece that feels organic and artistic, live edge is unbeatable.

If you’re designing a custom dining table, here are the decisions that matter most:

1. Size & Seating Capacity

Rule of thumb:
– 22–24” per person
– 36–42” table width for comfortable dining

2. Shape

Rectangle, round, or oval — each changes how people gather.

3. Wood Species

Walnut for luxury, oak for durability, cherry for warmth.

4. Base Style

Trestle, pedestal, four-leg — your room layout determines what works best.

5. Finish

Matte, satin, natural, stained — finishes set the tone of your space.

A dining table is where life happens. Make it right.
