Orienting the white oak planks in a diamond pattern further enhances the natural variations in the wood, and the pitted aluminum top inlays and plinth base provide just enough contrast. The 4 sliding doors reveal 4 adjustable shelves. Verite features sawn planks of European white oak in their natural state and will show all of the hallmarks of naturally dried wood, including knots, color variation, and cracking. Although finished in a highly protective top coat, every Verite top will vary in appearance and coloration from piece to piece.
