Rustic brown, distressed finishes, and clear wood texture nicely show the natural and farmhouse characteristics. The cookbook holder is made of natural and high-quality solid wood, which is lighter and sturdier than bamboo. The wood is carbonized to show a beautiful and clear wood grain; all edges are smooth and comfortable through finely sanded. Can also be used as a tablet stand, for painting, music sheets, magazines, record holders, and many more.
