Urbandi ONE Ingredient. Real. Solid. Wood.
Each piece is handcrafted by skilled American craftspeople using carefully selected furniture-grade hardwoods chosen for their durability, strength, and beautiful natural grain.
All of our hardwoods, including White Oak, are locally sourced from the Central Appalachian region of Ohio.
Ohio's wood is highly regarded due to the abundance of high-quality hardwood species and the state's sustainable forest management practices. Ohio's forests are known for producing excellent hardwoods
Prized Hardwoods:
Ohio's forests are primarily composed of hardwoods, prized for their strength, durability, and aesthetic qualities
The Appalachian region of Ohio is particularly known for producing high-quality hardwood timber.
Sustainable Forest Management:
Ohio's forests are managed sustainably, with more wood being grown than is harvested annually. This ensures the long-term health and productivity of the forests
Forest management practices help to improve forest health, enhance wildlife habitat, and promote the growth of high-quality timber.
The Ohio Dept of Natural Resources pllays a key role in promoting sustainable forestry practices
Climate and Soil Conditions:
Ohio's climate and soil conditions are well-suited for the growth of high-quality hardwoods.
The climate and fertile soils allow trees to grow to their full potential, producing dense and durable wood.
Every space is different, and sometimes the perfect piece doesn’t come in a standard size. With Urbandi Bespoke, you can tailor our furniture to fit your exact space and vision.
“I was really impressed by the size and quality of this table. It feels solid, beautifully made, and knowing it’s handcrafted in America makes it even more special.”
Every Urbandi product is made in Cincinnati, Ohio by our team of skilled craftspeople.
Are Urbandi products hand made?
Yes. Every Urbandi piece is made through a hands-on build-to-order process. We use modern tools for precision, but the majority of the work is guided by skilled craftspeople who select, cut, assemble, sand, finish, pack, and inspect each piece with care.
Are Urbandi products made from real wood?
Yes. Urbandi products are made from real solid wood, not MDF, particle board, or cheap veneer. Some pieces, such as certain fireplace mantels, use a hollow solid-wood construction to make installation easier and pricing more accessible while still maintaining real wood quality.
Can Urbandi products be used outside?
Most Urbandi products are designed for indoor use, where temperature and humidity are controlled. Outdoor pieces may be available as custom orders using materials and finishes suited for exterior conditions. Contact our team to discuss your project.
How much weight can Urbandi shelves hold?
Weight capacity depends on shelf size, depth, bracket type, and installation method. On average, floating shelves installed into wall studs with the included brackets can hold 25–55 pounds per stud. Longer or deeper shelves may need additional support brackets.
How do I care for real wood?
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Wipe spills right away with a slightly damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh cleaners, abrasive pads, and silicone-based products. Keep real wood away from extreme heat, direct sunlight, and excessive humidity.
How do you choose your raw material suppliers?
We choose suppliers based on material quality, consistency, responsibility, and proximity. For hardwoods, we work with mills in Central Appalachia and trusted regional partners who provide strong, beautiful wood suited for long-lasting furniture and shelving.
I ordered one white oak sample and Urbandi sent three white oak samples! One sample came unfinished, one had a clear finish, and the third had the white-wash finish. I really appreciate the extra effort Urbandi makes to help you decide on the correct choice!
Samples are awesome, however it comes with all three options when you order 1, which was not made clear. So I ordered two and spent an extra $17 I didn’t need to spend. Other than that they are very clearly marked and help so much in picking out what color we want.
The finished sample is so pretty! But my husband won’t let me pay more than $100 per shelf, so sadly, lll have to skip on the true order. But you have a great product!
When someone places multiple sample requests for various finishes, contemporary and distressed. Tell them that the samples finish does not reflect the finish just the color. Why pay for more than one set of samples.
I'm impressed with the quality of the white oak samples, thank you! We are planning to order floating shelves this fall or winter after we renovate our kitchen and are more sure about sizes.
We have a customer looking to use floating shelves and the samples provided to us are amazing. We are impressed with the quality and color.
We can't wait to see what she chooses and will post pictures when the project is complete.
I will be ordering the fire place mantel in the white oak whitewash wood. It’s going to be a great addition to the fire place.
The samples were a huge help in deciding
Thank you
