The Americana Molasses finish captures the essence of a well-loved heirloom, passed down through generations. The deep, dark tone over cathedral oak veneers add warmth, while the variations in color reveal the natural beauty of the wood beneath.
Hooker Furniture utilizes a multiple-step finish process of up to 16 finish steps. This results in an unsurpassed clarity, depth and color richness and durability to our finishes. Through hand-craftsmanship such as rubbing and padding, our finishes feel as good as they look, with a smoothness that is delightful to the touch.
Hooker Furniture uses carefully chosen solid wood and select wood veneers over durable wood products in our furniture construction. Use of veneers enables more decorative looks unattainable with solid wood. Veneers are used over durable wood products such as medium density fiberboard (MDF) and particle board, made of renewable resources. MDF and particle board are used in quality furniture for areas that need to be stable, such as large surfaces. These durable wood products do not expand and contract with heat and cold and do not absorb moisture as much as solid wood, which results in stronger and longer-lasting furniture.
Americana is a celebration of our rural heritage that reflects the character, strength, and natural beauty of a simpler time. The Americana collection reimagines historical pieces and designs with a fresh take on finish, function, hardware, and forms. Offering bedroom, dining room, entertainment, accent and occasional items, each piece in the collection strikes a timeless balance between history and nature. Crafted with oak veneers, Americana features three core finishes – Daisy, Honey and Molasses – as well as assorted accent finishes with decorative artwork. Key design elements include parquet tabletops, two-tone finishes, architectural arched details, seeded glass and antique mirrors. Hardware includes classic bale-style and hand-hammered metal hardware, both in a muted brass tone finish.
