Designed as an eco-friendlier alternative to a brand new virgin wood desk, the Reclaimed Wood Patchwork Desk by What WE Make is a rustic approach to furniture design. The Reclaimed Wood Patchwork Desk by What WE Make is crafted using wood that has been rescued in northern Wisconsin and repurposed into functional furniture.
The wood used to create the Reclaimed Wood Patchwork Desk by What WE Make is not pristine and features ample cracks, nail holes, knots and weathering. This is because the wood is purported to be over 100-years old to offer a historic aesthetic that is finished to perfection.
The wood desk is finished with a clear matte stain that is VOC-free and that will help to protect the wood and increase the overall longevity of the furniture piece.
