    Default what wood should I choose?

    I'm having a local craftsman make me a hall tree/seat since I can't find one that suits my needs. Any suggestions as to what wood would look nice with my existing dark wood pieces? Inexpensive is top priority since the H & M sofa is going to consume most of my redo budget

    Maple! It has a nice grain, can be stained most any color, has a low shrink rate and is cheap at the mill.
