The tree grows up to 30–40 meters in height with a straight, tall trunk and a broad, dense canopy, making it an excellent choice for large parks, gardens, and green spaces. Its leaves are large, pinnate, and dark green, offering a lush, tropical look.

The bark is grayish-brown, and the wood of Chukrasia tabularis is prized for its hardness and strength, often used in the furniture and flooring industries. The tree produces small, fragrant white flowers in panicles, which bloom in the late spring to early summer.
