Four-Square Cloisters

Cloisters feature radiused outset corners — a classic detail to which we’ve added through-tenons. These designs especially evoke the medieval roots of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Offered in your choice of widths and combinations of widths 1" and up (most commonly used widths shown). Available with a single raised square plug or flush dowel corner treatment.
