My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Are the chairs the same wood as the table?

10 years ago
I am buying a farm table and want the chairs to be a solid color like yours, but am not sure if I should use oak (same as table)

Thanks!

    I wouldn't go with oak for a solid stain. Maple is much better for that application. Oak is too grainy. Maple is preferred to Pine for chairs - much harder.
