Real Wood, All Around.
Not sure which finish is right for your space? The TrueWood Sample Kit makes it easy to compare colors, textures, and materials in person. You’ll receive real slat samples of every finish we offer — including White Oak with Grey Felt, Grey Oak, Dark Smoke Oak, American Walnut with U.S.-sourced veneer, and Black Oak.
Each sample is made with the same solid rubberwood core and 3-sided real wood veneer as our full-size panels, so you can see and feel the quality for yourself. Whether you’re testing lighting, coordinating with other materials, or finalizing a design, this kit helps you make the right choice with confidence.
Ideal for designers, architects, and homeowners planning their next project.

Each TrueWood panel is engineered for both beauty and performance. At its core is solid rubberwood, a durable and sustainable hardwood that offers superior strength compared to traditional MDF. Every slat is then fully wrapped in real oak or walnut veneer on all three visible sides, delivering an authentic wood grain appearance from every angle — not just the front. The slats are mounted on a 9mm thick acoustic felt backing, made from recycled materials, which enhances sound absorption and creates consistent 13mm gaps for clean, architectural spacing. The result is a panel that feels substantial, installs with ease, and looks visually seamless across walls and ceilings — all while delivering a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 0.75 for true acoustic improvement.
Installation is fast and intuitive—simply mount using drywall screws or construction adhesive. Panels connect seamlessly, and can be easily trimmed to size with basic tools like a handsaw or jigsaw. Designed with DIY in mind, no professional help is needed. Once installed, the panels require minimal care—just occasional dusting or a gentle wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth to keep them looking their best.
Most panels only veneer the top. Ours are wrapped in real oak or walnut on every visible side — for a premium look from any angle.
Most slat panels use cheap MDF at the core. TrueWood is crafted from solid hardwood — giving you real strength, durability, and acoustic mass.
Each TrueWood box includes 4 full-size panels — covering nearly 29 sq ft. That’s double the coverage of standard packs and fewer seams to align.

FAQ
Where are you located?
We’re a family-owned business based in Southern California, and all of our panels ship directly from our SoCal headquarters. While we don’t have a showroom just yet, one is in the works and planned for later this year!
Can the panels be cut? How easy is it?
Yes! Our panels are designed to be DIY-friendly and can be easily cut to size using common tools like a handsaw, jigsaw, or circular saw.
Do your panels flex in both directions?
Yes! The materials we use allow the panels to flex both horizontally and vertically, giving you maximum versatility for unique applications—whether it’s wrapping columns, archways, or curved feature walls.
Can I hang items like TVs or shelves on the panels?
While our panels are decorative, you can mount lightweight items directly onto them. For heavier objects, it’s best to locate the wall studs behind the panels and secure the items through the panels into the studs for added support.
How do I determine how many panels I need?
Measure the height and width of the wall area you wish to cover. Multiply these to get the total square footage. Then, divide this number by the coverage area of a single panel (e.g., 31 ft² for our 8ft panels). We recommend ordering an extra panel or two to account for cuts and adjustments. We also have a Coverage Chart you can reference above!
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is free on all panel orders—no hidden fees, no surprises.
What do I do about light switches and outlets?
Simply measure and cut around them using a jigsaw or handsaw. The panels are easy to work with and customize to fit your space.
Can I use the panels outdoors?
These panels are designed for indoor use only. Because they feature real wood, they’re not suited for exposure to rain, sun, or outdoor humidity.
How do I install the panels?
Installation is quick and straightforward—use either drywall screws or construction adhesive. Panels connect seamlessly for a clean, professional look.
How do I clean and maintain the panels?
Regularly dust the panels with a soft cloth or vacuum with a brush attachment. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the wood veneer.
Can the panels be installed on curved walls?
Yes! Thanks to their flexible construction, the panels can wrap around gentle curves, arches, and columns with ease.
If I move, can I take the panels with me?
Definitely. If installed with screws, the panels can be removed and reinstalled in your next space.
Can the panels be painted or stained?
Because our panels are made with real wood, it can take on paints or stains really well. If you wish to change the color, we recommend testing your chosen paint or stain on a sample piece first to ensure desired results. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application.
Do you offer samples?
Yes—we offer sample kits so you can feel the materials, test finishes, and see what works in your space. Plus, you’ll get up to $30 in credit toward your panel purchase.
Are the panels eco-friendly?
Yes, our panels are made with sustainably sourced wood veneers and recycled felt backing, making them an environmentally conscious choice for your space.
What sizes do you offer?
We offer panels pre-sized for 8ft, 9ft, and 10ft walls—making it easy to find the right fit without needing to custom-cut every piece.
How long does it take to receive my order?
If the item is in stock, we ship within 1 business day. For pre-orders, please refer to the estimated ship date displayed next to the “Add to Cart” button. Delivery typically takes 3–6 business days depending on your location.
Do the panels help with sound?
Yes—while not formally acoustic-rated, the felt backing provides noticeable sound-softening benefits by reducing echo and ambient noise.
Are your panels fire-rated?
No, our panels are not fire-rated. They are made with real wood veneer, which does not meet fire-resistant standards. If fire safety is a priority for your project, we recommend consulting your contractor or local building codes before installation.
