1. Wooden Furniture: Pros & Cons
Furniture plays an important part in our lives and our households. It fills not only the
place, but also our heart. We feel emotionally connected to the furniture of our
home may it be a sofa or wardrobe or even dining table. Home will be just an empty
space and will be incomplete without the furniture.
Nowadays, a lot of furniture is made using compressed wood or plywood.
Traditionally, carpenters would use solid wood without much processing or industrial
alteration to make furniture. Despite having a variety of synthetic alternatives, Indian
households still prefer solid wood furniture because of its durability and artistic
value, as wood furniture supports fine carvings and reparability.
We understand the dilemma of choosing the perfect furniture for your home and
hence, we have provided you with a list of pros and cons to consider while choosing
between wood, plywood, metal, plastic or any other material. It is important to
consider various criteria such as where you live, the features you want, durability of
the furniture in a given climate and maintenance costs before choosing the perfect
material for your home furniture.
Here are some pros and cons of wooden furniture:
Pros:
1. Wooden furniture gives your home a traditional touch and can be converted into
any creative design we visualize. Every piece is made to last.

2. 2. Wooden furniture is extremely strong and requires very low maintenance. Wood is
a durable natural material that can withstand spills in the kitchen or scratches in the
dining room. Wooden furniture can last for generations with minimum care.
3. Wooden furniture is easy to maintain. Wiping the surface of the wood with a wood
cleaner on a regular basis. Waxing, oiling and polishing can be done less often but
can make your furniture look brand new no matter how long it has been since you
actually bought it.
4. Adding furniture to a room will completely change its look and feel. Wooden
furniture offers elegance, charm and sophistication to any room.
5. Wood furniture creates the sense of the natural world indoors.
6. The beauty of wood furniture is that it can be changed over time by sanding and
staining, or painting. Wooden furniture can be refurbished and can be given an
entirely new look. Even the colour and tones of wood gives variety of style and look.
7. The small dents on the wooden furniture will go unnoticed with the creative
design and texture of the furniture.
Cons:
1. The cost of wooden furniture may be a little higher as compared to lower end
materials, but you will enjoy the benefits for years to come.
2. Like most materials, wood is vulnerable to water and the natural environment.
3. Moisture can damage the wood by deteriorating its texture and finishing, but this
can be avoided by proper upkeep.
4. Wooden furniture is heavy and difficult to move from one place to another.

3. 5. Wood does need to be maintained over time in order to keep its charm, but the
maintenance is not very time consuming or difficult.
