Finish Durability
Our Cosmetic Standards
At Michael Difazio Reclaim Artistry Inc, we take great pride in each and every unique piece of solid furniture we sell. Our furniture is handcrafted and professionally finished by our team and built using solid wood that is distressed and has a reclaimed look.
Given the handmade and hand-finished nature of the products we craft, variations and imperfections in the wood should be expected and celebrated! Just as every tree is unique, so too is every piece of furniture that is handcrafted and hand finished just for you.
Original character marks such as dents, nail holes, cracks etc may be present in the finished product to preserve the history and story of the materials.
The wood we use is a living material that expands and contracts with seasonal changes. The natural process of expansion and contraction can create open joints in the construction and in the material itself. An open joint line related to expansion or contraction will not affect the structural integrity of the project.
It is highly recommended that the temperature and humidity in your environment is controlled to prevent fluctuations that may cause wood to crack. Any excess moisture should be wiped off from surfaces as soon as possible.
Please read through our cosmetic standards below before placing an order with us.

The Process is Easy
Consultation
Tell us what you’re imagining — or come with nothing but a feeling. We’ll guide you through materials, finishes, and function until a detailed 3D illustration shows you exactly what you’re getting before a single piece of wood is cut.
Build
We do the work from here, building your piece primarily from reclaimed materials and keeping you updated throughout so your vision stays on track from the first cut to the final finish.
Delivery
When it’s ready, we come to you — bringing your piece to the door, setting it up inside, or sending one of our skilled contractors to install it properly — and we’d love to come back after to photograph the finished piece in your space.
