Durability & Longevity - One of the greatest benefits of buying solid wood furniture is that you’re getting a product that can survive for generations. Solid wood furniture is timeless, sturdy, and is built to last. Wood provides beauty, function for decades, and can be passed down to the next generation to cherish - only solid wood furniture offers that kind of value.

A Healthier Alternative - Engineered materials such as MDF which are frequently used in furniture manufacturing have a reputation for leaching VOCs and formaldehyde. These can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation and can also damage the liver, kidney, and central nervous system. Choosing solid wood furniture can help avoid bringing toxins like this into your home.

It's Renewable, Recyclable & Biodegradable - Wood furniture is much more sustainable than plastic or composite furniture because manmade materials such as plastic are not renewable. Wood is one of the most naturally renewable energy sources, which means it will have less of an impact on the environment compared to other materials. With wood lasting a lifetime, it’s the ideal material for recycling and there is very little waste when wooden products are made.

Each Piece is One of a Kind - No two pieces of wood are the same thanks to all of the natural variations in the grain of all lumber. This gives wood more character than other types of furniture that are mass-produced and identical. Even wood furniture that is produced on a larger scale is unique and the way it ages contributes to its character and the way it enlivens a room.

Versatility - Wooden furniture can look great in any setting – contemporary, traditional, industrial, farmhouse, and more. No matter what kind of aesthetic you are going for in your home, wooden furniture can easily bring beauty to any space and blend in perfectly. Since wood is available in such a large variety of finishes, you can also mix and match wooden furniture to create a unique look.
