Our needs were pretty specific and Ana helped us find the perfect match. Thank you Ana for all of the help and assistance with this project. We will most definitely visit again if we need additional pieces for our home or business. **Comment from True American Grain:** > Thank you so much for the kind words, Jason. I look forward to seeing you in the new year. **★★★★★ — TODD U, Nov. 2017** > Very happy to have met the TAG team! Super friendly and helpful as I shopped for some repurposed wood decor items for my kitchen remodel. One of the most organized and clean places I have ever visited. Go see them! **★★★★★ — Parker Wells, March 2017** > I have worked with True American Grain products on several different projects and I have found their company to be incredibly easy to work with. They have wonderful people who really know their stuff when it comes to reclaimed wood. They have always treated me fair and have provided me with ideas on how to accomplish what I need. I LOVE their selection of reclaimed wood. They have fast, friendly and have amazing products that are far beyond what you will find at other shops. > > I have also worked with their RecWood product line and absolutely LOVE the wood. It is thicker than other reclaimed wood paneling companies like Stick Wood. RecWood is SOLID WOOD that is super easy to work with and install. I have installed the wood as an accent wall in a home, in a bathroom, an office and even a kids playhouse. I would HIGHLY recommend RECWood and True American Grain. Top notch companies with top notch products! **★★★★★ — Tom Deason Building Company, Inc., Aug. 2016** > I had the pleasure of meeting Ana and Garry today while looking for some reclaimed wood paneling samples for a client of ours. Ana and Garry could not have been more friendly or helpful. While Ana gave me a tour of their beautiful showroom, Garry hand-selected and cut samples for me such that I could easily show my client. The team at True American Grain has a deep knowledge and passion for their craft, making it a pleasure to work with them. We look forward to working with True American Grain in the future, and would highly recommend them to family, friends, clients, and colleagues! **★★★★★ — Pacific Edge Builders, Aug. 2016** > It was an absolute pleasure to work with True American Grain! It is great to work with someone who is so passionate about their work and Colin exceeded my expectations! The work turned out amazing! **★★★★★ — brandi949, Dec. 2015** > We ordered a custom kitchen table and it turned out absolutely fabulous. We love it!

Their helpfulness and promptness was a key to us getting this very important job completed on time and accurate. **★★★★★ — Lisa Snelgrooes, Oct. 2015** > I was so excited to find a reclaimed wood store so close to home. I bought a large piece to make a mantle out of and can't wait to find more projects to do > L Snelgrooes > San Clemente **★★★★★ — roncellman, Oct. 2015** > Another great buying experience. > I went in to buy some more reclaimed wood for a picture frame idea I had from Colin. > > Colin wasn't in, but Gennie stepped in took care of me with a big smile. > > These guys are the real deal when it comes to serving their customers. **★★★★★ — sherryperko, Oct. 2015** > I hired True American Grain to put on salvaged/restored wood onto one of my walls, to make it an accent wall. It turned out fabulous and I couldn't be happier. I went into the showroom and met with Gennie and I told her what my vision was. She reccomended the colors and choice of wood and made it very easy for me. She was able to have the wood milled and ready to be installed within a week. The installation took a little longer due to my floors and wall not being level but they did a very professional job. He even helped me hang the stuff back on the wall after he finished, which I very much appreciated because it was a heavy mirror. The wall is beautiful and it's the focal point of the room. I would definitely recommend this company. **★★★★★ — Steve Masoner, Sept. 2015** > These guys have the most professional service and the best quality product bar none...if you don't see them before you buy...you missed the best. > Steve Masoner > Seal Beach CA ## Selected projects - [RECwood Wall Panels](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/recwood-wall-panels-pj-vj~1212527) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 50 - Description: RECwood™ Planks is a natural extension of True American Grain.

I also wanted to add yellow chairs (as shown below) along with new sectional and decorate sofa with yellow/green/white pillows.. I went with yellow accent chairs since my dinner room (which is adjacent to living) has mustard yellow accent wall color. I am confused with this option since both my wall and sofa are green (but diff shades of green) and would love to hear your thoughts on helping me decide on this.. Thanks in advance!! Yellow chair (accent) which i like to buy to match with olive green sofa: My living room: This photo is for reference and not taken in good lighting as well .. i will be removing the wall decor/photo frame + AC and add in decor to match with the sofa/chair. A: Hi Athira, The sofa in the pictures you provided look kind of big for your space. However, since I do not have all the details, I'm not sure if it is proportional in your living room or not. I understand you love the color green, but both the piece and your wall are green, I would suggest if you can change the color on one of them. Personally, I would suggest repainting the wall. The moss green sofa looks really elegant. **Q: Odd wall in open plan** *(in Home Decorating)* What furniture layout would be best along odd wall in open plan living and kitchen? Currently a tall armoire is located in the space, but the symmetry doesn’t make sense. Any suggestions would be welcome. A: Hi Sussan, Have you thought about an open shelf in that area? You can set some plants and some home decor on it. **Q: Rustic island in white kitchen?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I'm in a dilemma about our new kitchen island. I'm not sure this rustic reclaimed wood island fits with the style of the white modern kitchen. Does this work style wise, or should we consider painting the legs of this island? A: Hi Hillary, even though your island is pretty, it looks like it was forced to be in there. By the look in your photos, you have white and gray dominating the kitchen. The island seems lonely. I know you want something in your kitchen. You can try quartz or marble. It may be more expensive, but I feel it will be a better fit, and convert your current island to a console table, perhaps. **Q: I need a sample sent to my home** *(in Product Questions)* A: I am happy to send you samples of the Cal Coastal. The cost is 4.95. I can take your payment by phone. 949-282-0053 Gennie **Q: how do you attach to wall. Glue or nail it on or what?** *(in Product Questions)* I will be doing a wall that is sheetrock and textured. **Q: Is there any brown mixed in?** *(in Product Questions)* is the wood color mostly grey? is there any brown spots/pieces? Trying to get an idea of the color variation. A: The planks are gray but at times a spot of brown can be possible. Here is what the gray looks like right now. Please let me know if you need anything else. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-11-10.*
