*Wood species in all finishes will exhibit color change when exposed to different types of light. Color differences in wood are caused by variations in minerals found in the soil in which the tree was grown and the absorption of these minerals differ by tree or parts of tree.

It is the beauty and nature of wood to have these characteristics, as well as natural variations in graining and color, which will be present throughout the cabinetry.
