❓ FAQ

Q: Are the letters painted on or carved? ✅ The text is deeply CNC-carved into the wood, not painted or vinyl. This gives it a premium, 3D look where the natural light wood grain pops against the stain.

Q: Is this sign made of real wood? ✅ Yes—we use solid, natural wood (Pine). Because it is real wood, each sign has unique grain patterns and knots, making your coffee bar décor truly one-of-a-kind.

Q: Does it come with hanging hardware? ✅ Yes—a sawtooth hanger is installed on the back, so it is ready to hang right out of the box.

Q: Who is this sign a good gift for? ✅ It is the perfect choice for coffee lovers, teachers, coworkers, or anyone who refuses to function before 9 AM. Ideal for birthdays, housewarmings, or Christmas.
