Product Overview
Delivering the casual look and feel of ageless pieces acquired during travels in the Old World, Hooker Furniture is featuring Alfresco, a whole-home collection with relaxed European provincial styling. The Alfresco collection has a well-traveled aesthetic that is inspired by heirloom pieces found in homes perched on cliffs along the Italian coastline of the Adriatic Sea. The collection of bedroom, dining room, occasional and accent furniture features moderately distressed designs that are enhanced by accent paint finishes that create an eclectic feel. Alfresco is constructed of oak, maple and hickory veneers and poplar solids, and includes several pieces with stone and metal accents.

Finish Construction
Hooker Furniture utilizes a multiple-step finish process of up to 16 finish steps. This results in an unsurpassed clarity, depth and color richness and durability to our finishes. Through hand-craftsmanship such as rubbing and padding, our finishes feel as good as they look, with a smoothness that is delightful to the touch.
Frame Construction
Hooker Furniture uses carefully chosen solid wood and select wood veneers over durable wood products in our furniture construction. Use of veneers enables more decorative looks unattainable with solid wood. Veneers are used over durable wood products such as medium density fiberboard (MDF) and particle board, made of renewable resources. MDF and particle board are used in quality furniture for areas that need to be stable, such as large surfaces. These durable wood products do not expand and contract with heat and cold and do not absorb moisture as much as solid wood, which results in stronger and longer-lasting furniture.
