Points To Consider When Buying Wooden Furniture
Wooden furniture has a place in most homes
Wooden furniture has a place in most homes. Wherever we live, whatever we do and however little or much time we have taken to design the looks of our homes, we don't have to look far to find at least one item of wooden furniture in our abode. But when finding that perfect piece of wooden furniture there are points you have to consider.Types of wood.
Wood can be split up in to three main categories: Hardwoods, softwoods and other woods. Some woods are specifically used outdoors and others indoors. Soft, light colored pine would not match the elements of most countries if it were to be used for a fence, while plywood, as much as it's known for being a builder's friend, would make even the grandest of kitchens look tawdry when left its original form. Some woods adapt better to particular environments than others. Temperature, humidity and direct sunlight are all issues to consider when buying that new piece of wooden furniture that you covet.
The Environment.
Environmental concerns have of recent, made buying wooden furniture a tricky subject. The average consumer is left trying to figure out which kind of wood they can choose to furnish their home, that doesn't also add to the issues our already struggling environment has to deal with. Thankfully now, rather than having to just resort to the chip board and screws of some well known "furniture" stores from Europe, one can navigate this ethically and quickly. There are many ethical traders of wooden furniture in the market place and some stores have branded themselves as having a particular interest in this issue. Recycling old wooden furniture is also a superb way to address the environmental issue, this regeneration of the old is easily achieved with wood, thanks to a lick of paint, varnish or a good sanding down.
Cost.
Cost is always a huge factor in any decision related to buying a piece of furniture. Wooden furniture can start incredibly cheaply but quickly become astronomical. Depending on the type of wood used, the workmanship that has gone in to it and the branding associated with a particular piece of wooden furniture; you can quite literally go from spending $200 on a dining table to thousands. Remember, the large furniture stores are also experiencing a recession, so do not be afraid to barter when buying. Good times to purchase in the year are January and the end of the summer, these tend to be the most common times of the year when sales occur.
Whether your criteria for choosing your wooden furniture is based upon looks, price or practicality, there is bound to be that right piece out there for you. It may be an interesting rubber tree coffee table, or a loyal old pine dining table that's been with you every step of your adult life or cot for your first born. Our wooden furniture becomes part of our story, so chose with care and enjoy it.
