Cherry, a warm, reddish-brown wood, is one of the woods people want most for bookcases. Homeowners identify cherry with American bookcases in the same way that they identify oak
with English bookcases.
You should keep in mind that cherry ages. It begins a fairly bright pink, and slowly ages, faster in the presence of sunlight, to the dark red color that people usuallyassociate with cherry bookshelves. That process does not happen overnight. If you're wiling to wait, though, Asheville Bookcases is proud to offer cherry built-in bookcases and cherry freestanding bookcases.
Cherry is a hardwood, but it is fairly soft and therefore it is prone to nicks and scratches in a way that some other furniture is not.
