At woodkitchencountertops.com, we feature attractive acacia wood shelving that transforms the basic kitchen shelf into a design feature for your home. You may not be familiar with some of the characteristics of acacia wood that make it an ideal product for a kitchen shelf. 

Acacia wood is an attractive hardwood that is extremely dense and durable.  It’s in the same class as teak and white oak. Acacia wood shares their characteristics of strength and durability with an interesting grain when finished. This wood is plantation grown under the watchful eye of the Forest Stewardship Council’s regulations in order to ensure sustainability and accepted forestry practices.  Acacia wood grows in warm and tropical regions such as Asia and Australia.  Much of our high-quality acacia wood comes from Vietnam.

Acacia wood is the ideal material for a kitchen shelf. It’s an excellent match for the beautiful acacia countertops and island tops that are now available at Home Depot.
