85-90% of our products are made in America. Let's help our country by buying American made products. Some large companies have their products made in China and put their label on the box as if they made it here. Ask where the product is made before buying.
Unfinished Hardwood
Merle B. Smith Co. carries the Chicagoland’s largest selection of unfinished hardwood. Unfinished hardwood flooring is just that—unfinished. What starts out simply as a pallet of lumber can be transformed by skilled craftsmen into a floor worthy of a palace.
Using unfinished wood allows you to have smooth, custom designs and colors. By mixing species and board widths, you can create insets, boarders and room divisions in a way that is unique to you.
We carry wood from Sheoga and Indiana Hardwood—companies that are operated right here in the Midwest. Shamrock and Roberts Hardwood are located in the American Southeast. These are just a few of the lumber mills that we work with. Whether you’re looking for American standards like maple, red oak or pine, or are looking for something with an exotic flair, such as ipe or Brazilian cherry, we’ve probably got what you’re looking for. And if we don’t, we can get it!
