Investing in Solid Wood Furniture

Wooden furniture is considered a staple in many family homes. According to different historians, ancient Egypt and early Mesopotamia utilized wood to make their furniture pieces. Since then, people from other civilizations and cultures have associated wood with regal and high-end home decor. In the past, wooden furniture was only for the royalties and other elite members of society. The norm only changed when communities abandoned their nomadic ways, making wood easily accessible. Wood furniture production increased immensely with more available materials and better location stability. 

The style and integrity of wooden furniture continue to attract modern-day homeowners. Wood as a material withstood the test of time. It also continues to be a functional and popular home staple. If you’re unsure whether it’s still time to invest in wooden furniture, check out its benefits in the discussion below:

1. Durable

One of the most undisputed characteristics of wood is its extreme durability. Artisans designed wooden furniture to withstand the test of time. Since it’s durable, children and grandchildren of growing families can still use and reuse these wood furniture pieces. You can also hand it down to your heirs. Since wood is heavy, it’s less susceptible to detrimental damage. If it’s scratched, you can also repair them. If you also correctly maintain your furniture, it can last for years without issues. Well-kept wood furniture can even become “antiques” that endure for over 100 years. 

2. No-Fuss Upkeep

Solid Wood furniture, like solid wood bedroom sets, tables, and chairs, are surprisingly easy to clean and maintain. You only need to clean and remove dust from them with a soft cloth. If you want your wood furniture sleek and shiny, you can also use a wood-compatible cleaner. Never clean your wood furniture with general cleaners, as these types come with harsh chemicals that might cause wood damage. Some are so strong that they can peel off the wood’s finish. You can sand out dents or scratches on wood instead.  

3. Unique 

Wood is a unique raw material because no two wood pieces are similar. Even if you opt for a wooden kitchen table and your sister-in-law decides to buy one from the same brand, these pieces won’t be identical. This uniqueness makes wood charming. Most furniture pieces are mass-produced, so it’s hard to tell them apart in terms of appearance. However, if you use solid wood, you’re 100 percent sure that there’s nothing like what you brought home in the entire world.

4. Sustainable

Composite materials or plastic are raw materials for most modern-day furniture and fixtures. These are non-renewable and could only add to massive amounts of carbon footprints released into the atmosphere. Factories manufacture these pieces on a more extensive and quicker scale. Since they’re disposable objects, they will only pile up in the landfills once they outgrow their usefulness. 

Wooden furniture and fixtures are one-time purchases. Even if they are more expensive than their composite and plastic counterparts, you can still save in the long run. Since they’re durable and capable of being repurposed and refurbished, you don’t have to replace them now and then. You can utilize the money you save for other more necessary expenses. Most brands also ethically source their wood, allowing buyers like you to help save the environment. 

5. Invest in Wood Furniture

Solid wood furniture pieces are considered classic for a reason. They transcend beyond time boundaries because they’re always functional and in vogue. Plus, they can complement any decor or design element in a home. If you invest in a piece now, your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren can still use and benefit from it.
