Raw Wood Furniture

Raw wood furniture, unpainted on purpose

Most furniture arrives with the decision already made — some factory’s idea of ‘walnut,’ sprayed on before it shipped. Ours shows up raw. The Round Coffee Table, the Modern Console Table, the Nightstand — all sanded smooth in real Baltic birch and sent bare, so the finish is yours to make.

Why raw
Tool-Free Assembly Slot-together Baltic birch — no hardware, no glue, no Allen key. Together in about two minutes.
Ships in 3–5 Days Cut and sanded in our San Diego workshop, then shipped flat and fast. Days away, not weeks.
Sanded, Ready to Finish Every surface arrives smooth and bare — no sealer, no factory coat. Stain, paint, or oil right away.
Finish It Your Way Raw birch, walnut stain, matte black, whitewash — the piece becomes whatever you decide.

Six Raw Wood Pieces to Finish Your Way

Real Baltic birch, sent unpainted — from coffee tables to nightstands, each one ready for stain, paint, or nothing at all.

Raw wood coffee table in bare Baltic birch
Raw Wood Coffee Table

The Round Coffee Table and Rectangle Coffee Table arrive in bare birch. Leave the plywood edge showing, or stain it walnut — the grain is the whole point.

Raw wood side table, unfinished birch
Raw Wood Side Table

The Side Table and Mini Side Table are small enough to finish in an afternoon. A coat of oil, a bold paint color, or raw — your call.

Raw wood console table in unpainted plywood
Raw Wood Console Table

The Modern Console Table runs long and flat behind a sofa or down an entry. Unpainted birch that takes stain evenly, end to end.

Raw wood nightstand, unfinished bedside table
Raw Wood Nightstand

The Nightstand ships raw so it can match a bed you already own. Whitewash it, stain it dark, or leave it pale and Scandinavian.

Raw wood shelves in unfinished Baltic birch
Raw Wood Shelves

The Modern Shelf, Modular Shelf, and Wall Shelves come unfinished — finish them to match the room, not fight it.

Raw wood desk, unpainted plywood writing desk

The Modern Desk and Monitor Stand arrive bare. Seal the top for daily use, or paint it to set the tone for the whole workspace.

Raw Wood Questions, Answered

What’s the difference between raw wood, unfinished, and unpainted furniture?

For our furniture, they’re the same thing. Every UNFNSHED piece ships as bare Baltic birch — no stain, no paint, no sealer. ‘Raw wood,’ ‘unfinished,’ and ‘unpainted’ all describe a surface that hasn’t had a finish applied yet.

What you do next is the point. The Round Coffee Table or a Modern Shelf can be stained, painted, oiled, or left exactly as it arrives. Our guide to staining unfinished furniture walks through it step by step.

Do you have to seal or finish raw wood furniture?

No — you can leave it raw. Baltic birch has a pale, even grain that looks good bare, and plenty of customers never finish theirs at all. If a piece sees daily wear or moisture, a clear sealer or oil adds protection without changing the look much.

If you do want color, bare wood is the easiest possible starting point. See how to paint bare wood or 7 easy ways to paint unfinished furniture before you start on a Nightstand or Side Table.

Is raw wood furniture cheap, or is it actually good quality?

Raw doesn’t mean cheap. Skipping the factory finish is a choice about who controls the look, not a shortcut on materials. Every piece is built from 13-ply Baltic birch — the same plywood used in real cabinetry, not the particleboard inside most flat-pack furniture.

You’re paying for solid construction and skipping the markup on a finish you’d probably redo anyway. The Modern Console Table and Modern Bench hold up like furniture meant to last, because they are.

Love these shelves!

Love these shelves! I used them as tables for an event and as bookshelves in my house when I’m not hosting. Super easy to put together & I love the raw finish. I added a layer of matte polyurethane and they’re super easy to clean and maintain.

Great quality and price

I had a bit of trouble fitting the pieces together snug by myself, but overall the quality is excellent and the design sleek, minimal & modern. For the price it's very much worth it!

Lovely, well made and easy to assemble.

Lovely, well made table. It would be wonderful for the company to offer a slightly larger top as well. I would purchase the larger one too. I absolutely love all products from this company.
