Brushing the timber wears away the softer grain and leaves the harder growth rings standing slightly proud, so the surface has texture you can feel rather than a sprayed-flat finish. At 78cm it is low enough to sit under most window sills, which makes it the choice for a wall with glazing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Stands Apart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrushed timber surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e The softer grain is worked back so the growth rings stand proud — texture you can feel, not just see.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOnly 78cm high:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low enough to run under most window sills without blocking the light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e161cm long:\u003c\/strong\u003e Substantial without demanding a two-metre wall, so it fits a normal dining room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e A light, warm tone that lifts a room and works against both pale and dark walls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e46cm deep:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sits close to the wall while still taking larger serving pieces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMindi construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mindi timber with mindi veneer over an MDF core.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Brushed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMindi, Mindi Veneer, MDF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize (L×D×H)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e161cm L x 46cm D x 78cm H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-order — arriving approximately October 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen will it arrive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is a pre-order. Stock is due to land approximately October 2026. Ordering now reserves one from the incoming shipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does \"brushed\" mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe timber is worked with a brush before finishing, which wears away the softer grain and leaves the harder growth rings raised. The result is a surface with genuine texture rather than a flat sprayed coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it fit under a window?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAt 78cm high it clears most standard sill heights, which is the main reason to choose it over the taller Montero. Measure your sill before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it compare to the Montero?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBoth are natural brushed mindi.

Slight variation in wood colour and texture is normal and is part of the character of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I care for it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWipe with a soft, barely damp cloth and dry it off. Avoid abrasive cleaners, and use mats or coasters under anything hot or wet. Dust along the grain rather than across it on a brushed surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you ship nationwide?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, we ship nationwide.
