Brett Parker SAP Tips for Buying the Best Wooden Furniture
It is essential to understand how wooden furniture is made in order to know how to take care of them.
In this guide, you will know how to choose the best wooden furniture and how to maintain it.
• Wood is strong. However, it is easy to re-shape. Taking care of wooden furniture is easy and well-made pieces become more valuable over time.
• Wood is eco-friendly and renewable. We get hardwoods from trees such as oak and cherry. They provide us with stronger and denser woods to create fantastic pieces of furniture.
We get softwoods from trees such as pine, cedar, and redwood. They are less expensive and of course, less in quality.
There are some terms used in the wooden furniture industry you need to know. All-Wood Construction means that only what you see of the item (the visible parts only) are made of wood. The Combination means that the visible parts are made of more than one type of wood. Solid means hardwood is used in the construction of the piece.
• What about veneer? Most people think that this is a new type of construction method. However, it has been used for centuries to create wooden furniture pieces. Veneer produces strong and incredibly beautiful wooden pieces of furniture.
• How to Increase the Longevity of Your Furniture?
To make sure that your wooden furniture will live for a long time, try to place it away from excessive sunlight, extreme heat and cold conditions, and dampness. Also, try to avoid your furniture scratches and polish them twice a year. Do not polish excessively in order not to create a waxy buildup.
Routine cleaning is necessary. Search for the best and most gentle ways to clean your wooden furniture properly.
