Jericurl, really clever design! Are they drawers at the bottom of the piece? That looks like a real space saver. Do you know what wood that is? Looks like Chestnut. Is it custom made or are they generally available?
You know, I'm not sure. I'll have to ask Manthing, but if I had to guess I would say some kind of pine.
A lot of the southwest style furniture down here is made from some kind of pine found in higher elevations in Mexico. I forget what it's called.
We picked this up from a nursery/fruit stand in our area.
They have several huge greenhouses and usually sell all kinds of plants and fruits/vegetables, as well as locally sourced edibles like honey, pickled quail eggs, jams, etc. They just recently began selling this type of furniture...they weren't even completely done setting up the building they were showcasing it in. I assume that the company they pick these up from has a certain number of them already premade, though they did give us the option of picking out a different stain color or having it painted, which would have added 25% to the price as well as an additional month wait time.
They referred to it as a Cowboy Kitchen.
eta: yes it it does have drawers at the bottom. It's quite a bit of storage in it. Right now I'm wanting to use it in the living room to store wine, wine glasses, and do "wine tasting," as well as highlight our rather large rock collection. Manthing wants to put it in the kitchen and load it up with all of our dishes/silverware etc so that he can fill all the cabinets with pantry items.
