Old school millwork rocks theWit

Following the philosophy of ‘more experience than hotel,’ theWit’s millwork sets the stage for a dramatic 27-story sensory experience {see New Chicago boutique hotel features $2.4M in millwork }.
For almost a year, DeLeers Millwork, Green Bay, Wis. crafted a large assortment of furnishings that included drapery valances and bathroom vanities for 270 guest rooms, kitchenettes for 90 condominiums, gift shop display cases, closet shelving, and the lobby registration desk. All of theWit furnishings feature a modern, flawless high-end look to properly represent the personality of theWit.
On the assortment of furnishings, DeLeers used premium-grade wood finishes, rift sliced white oak veneer, custom-made chrome footings for bathroom vanities, high-gloss lacquer finishes, and used blueprint-match paneling and doors in several public spaces.
The project used a variety of the materials, which were hand sanded by DeLeers team members. The company also used a Global Finishing Solutions dryer, which created a harder, more protective finish, and reduced the cure time by 75 percent.
The project garnered DeLeers The Architectural Woodwork Institute’s ‘Quality Certification Program’ (QCP) certification, which includes comprehensive testing and inspection.
TheWit, a Double Tree hotel is located on Chicago’s historic State Street.
