What to Consider
Materials & Construction
- ·Walnut — Dense hardwood with rich, dark grain. Resistant to warping. Develops deeper, richer color with age and sunlight.
- ·Made by Ballo in South Africa.
Longevity & Care
- ·Walnut — Dust regularly. Oil occasionally with food-safe finish. Use coasters — walnut can water-stain.
Cost Per Use
- ·Walnut — Solid walnut furniture is a generational investment. Unlike veneer over particle board, solid wood can be refinished indefinitely.
- ·Priced around $100 (midpoint of $50–$150 for Accessories). At ~12 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 8 months — and falls to roughly 14¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
