WOOD OPTIONS FOR
VERTICAL SUPPORTS
All vertical supports for HouseWerks shelving units are built from solid wood. HouseWerks now offers a wide variety of hardwoods from the common to the exotic from which you can choose to match, complement, or contrast with the wood selected for the shelves.
The following woods are usually kept in stock:
- Poplar
- $8.95/ft. (hardwood)

Because of widely varying color and grain pattern, each vertical support is unique - No two boards look alike,
- Poplar
is a multi-colored wood, primarily beige, but with other colors including cream, light yellow, light green, light brown, medium brown, and dark brown. It is a beautiful wood and finishes very well,

Because of the blend of colors, and a swirling blend of grain, each Poplar vertical support has a unique character, more so than with any of the other woods offered, and
