The Boca is Bertu Home's turned counter stool — made in the heart of Ohio from two pieces of solid maple that are kiln-dried and then turned on the lathe. The result is a soft, columnar, unmistakably modern form with the warmth of real wood and a clean, hand-shaped line. It is organic modern furniture at its most refined: modern luxury drawn from natural material.
This listing is for the Boca Dos silhouette. Every stool is turned, hand-sanded, and sealed with a durable commercial-grade finish built for real use — a kitchen island, a hospitality bar, or a designer's counter seating. Because maple is a natural material, grain and tone vary from piece to piece, so no two are exactly alike. And because it is solid wood, a Boca may develop natural cracks over time — a hallmark of the material that we embrace rather than hide; when a crack opens, our team hand-sets a bowtie inlay to stabilize it and make it part of the piece's character. Shown in a natural commercial-grade finish; other finishes are available to order.

"I love natural elements. I'm inspired by them and I love being surrounded by them. I also love modern furniture and accessories. When thinking of new products a few years back, I wanted to do a modern twist on something considered rustic and 'country.' Thus the whitewash stump table was born! It's important to our family to not only design and manufacture beautiful things, but to provide the best quality and experience. There is a lot of love that goes into each piece, as we hand finish each one per order. Add a little piece of nature to your home in a modern way!" -- Gretta Jones // Bertu Home
Why buy a Bertu Home piece?
KILN DRIED. Every piece of maple goes through a drying process in our kiln, brought to a specific moisture level before it is turned. This helps control long-term moisture movement and keeps the finished stool stable.
FAMILY OWNED. These are made from our family to yours. We dry, turn, sand, and finish every piece with care. See how we work here.
COMMERCIAL GRADE. Each stool is finished with a durable commercial-grade finish tough enough for spills, kids, and daily use, and it holds up in hotel and hospitality settings.
Living with your Boca
1. Unpack your stool right away and leave it out of any packaging — this is real wood and needs to breathe.
2. Solid wood naturally moves. Your Boca may develop cracks as it acclimates to your home's climate; this is normal, and any crack that continues to open is stabilized with a hand-set bowtie inlay. Keep the stool out of prolonged direct sun and away from heat sources to help preserve the finish.
3. Nylon glides underneath make the stool easier to move (they are heavy) and allow airflow to the wood. Airflow is most effective on hard flooring; on rugs or carpet, check the underside periodically.
4. If you ever have a question, please write or call — we are always available, honest, and transparent about our work.
