We firmly believe that "wood" is a material with warmth, its color and grain filled with natural stories. The unknown makes everything full of surprises, much like the ever-changing patterns of wood grain. Therefore, even among wooden pieces of the same wood type, their grain and color will vary uniquely; every millimeter is one of a kind. **Precautions:** 1.
