It’s safe to say that wood furniture is not a fad—wood has been used as a material in furniture construction for as long as humans have made settlements and continues to offer a timeless look. It’s also suitable for both residential and commercial use and remains in a good condition for a long time even with everyday use. Honestly, there are countless reasons why wood is such a great material for furniture, but we’ve narrowed it down to just five that we think are the most convincing for those considering it as a material.
- Durability
There is strength and durability to a well-made piece of wood furniture, especially when made from domestic hardwoods – like this oak super king ottoman storage bed for example. Solid wood furniture is timeless, sturdy and built to last generations, even centuries. This represents incredible value for money!
- Versatility
Wood furniture looks good in any design- industrial, farmhouse, traditional, modern, contemporary, etc. Whatever your style, it can be built in wood.
- Sustainability
Wood grows naturally, and modern forestry standards harvest wood in a sustainable way to preserve the environment of the forest the wood we use in our furniture is sourced locally, reducing transportation costs. And if you think the cost of quality furniture is too high, we encourage you to think about the per-use cost when it lasts a lifetime (or longer).
- Variety
We offer a wide range of finish options in our standard wood materials (Oak, Ash, Maple and Walnut). We can all but guarantee you can find a colour or achieve your specific look with our selection of finish options. Our current favourite finishes: Ash in Arctic, Walnut in Sunrise (always) and Oak in Natural.
Don’t forget to think outside the box. A dining table makes a great desk, as seen below. Or maybe you need flexibility with your space?
- Style
There is no household area that doesn’t suit the warmth and richness of wooden furniture. Tables, beds, countertops, shelves, cabinetry and mirrors. Most of all, wood offers a unique combination of aesthetics and structural integrity- built to last.
