Akita Wide Sideboard. Celebrated as the 'King of Woods', walnut has a rich heritage in its use for making fine furniture. The Akita range is crafted from veneers and solids of American Black Walnut; noted for the beautiful character of its grain. The large dining table has cleverly concealed extensions at each end and drawers also form part of the top overhang panels of the sideboard, coffee and lamp tables.
