Choosing Wood Furniture Finishes: Walnut, Oak, Mocha and More

Buying guides Furniture care Wood finishes

On Kammika's Haussmann listings, names such as Walnut, Oak and Mocha describe the finish choice. They do not by themselves identify the wood species. Read the material specification separately, then use the photos for your exact size and finish to compare the grain and color.

Read finish and material as two different details

For example, the 12-inch-square Original Twist is solid monkeypod wood offered in Walnut, Oak, Mocha and Agate Grey finish combinations. The Stacked Rings table is solid mango wood in Mocha. The word Mocha does not make those two tables the same wood.

Compare the finishes offered on your chosen design

  • Original Twist, 12-inch square: Walnut, Oak, Mocha and Agate Grey combinations; height choices vary.
  • Big Twist: Walnut, Mocha, Oak, Agate Grey or Antique Oak across its listed sizes. Not every size comes in every finish.
  • Merlot: Walnut, Mocha or Dark Walnut, with a 14-inch round top and 20-inch height.
  • Vine Twist: Walnut, Oak, Agate Grey or Cherry across different top shapes and sizes.

Expect natural variation within one finish

Grain, knots, natural checks and the underlying wood tones vary from piece to piece. The product photographs show the design and finish, but the delivered table's grain pattern and finished shade will be individual. Two pieces with the same finish name are not an exact color-match promise.

When comparing photos, use the same screen brightness and look at several angles. Consider the other wood tones and fabrics in your room. Select the exact size and finish on the product page so you are comparing the right photographs.

Use the care instructions for the actual finish

Care is not identical for every item. Read our wood finishes, cleaning and maintenance guide and the selected product's instructions before applying oil or another treatment. The teak towel ladder and extra shelf use a Teak Oil finish; their product instructions call for pure teak oil and say not to use Osmo on teak-oiled pieces.

Common questions

Does Walnut finish mean the table is walnut wood?

No. On these listings, Walnut is a finish name. The material field tells you which wood is used.

Will two tables in the same finish look identical?

No. Natural grain and underlying wood tones vary. Use the finish name to select your option while allowing for each piece's individual appearance.

Should I choose the finish before the size?

Check both together. Some finish choices exist only in certain sizes. First confirm the height and footprint you need, then compare the finishes offered for that combination.
