: WHY UNFINISHED FURNITURE
|
Quality
Create beautiful home
furnishings! Most unfinished furniture is fine furniture
constructed of solid wood. Solid wood means that all
exposed parts of the furniture are made of solid board,
either softwood or hardwood lumber. No particle board, sawdust or glue is
used and solid wood lasts forever. Solid woods can be repaired, sanded, or
refinished. The majority of unfinished furniture is made
of solid wood. Wood has many advantages over particle
board and chip board, which are predominant in the
finished furniture industry. Wood expands and contracts
depending on the humidity in the air. When constructed
well, the natural expansion or contraction will cause no
change in the item’s structural integrity. Finished
furniture is typically a mix of real wood and particle
board. As particle board does not expand and contract,
but the wood does, the joints will eventually break from
each other.
Product Knowledge
When a piece is
unfinished, you can see what you are getting. Does the
wood have knots, discoloration, obvious weak points or
other defects? With finished furniture, you would not
know until your new item began to fall apart. Unfinished
manufacturers must use a higher grade lumber in
furniture production, because they can not “hide” such
defects under a finish.
Value
Purchasing a piece and
finishing it yourself is less costly than purchasing a
comparable, already finished piece of furniture. Your
money buys you the best value for the dollar!
Flexibility
You can purchase a single
piece or an entire room. You can customize the finish
and colors to match your décor. You can be creative,
from a simple wood stain and varnish to a more elaborate
stenciled or distressed finish. Stain it, paint it, make
it yours!
