Furniture attributes display little ornamentation or decoration, with most arms and legs turned into spindle forms rather than carved shapes. Windsor style (also known as stick style) benches and chairs are more commonly seen today and are often painted or left in a natural wood finish. Woods range from the lighter oaks and maples to darker walnuts and stained elm. A distressed look is currently popular whereby the painted finish is marred to give it an "aged" look.
