A Story

Every piece of furniture should have a story . . . Remember playing store with your grandfather’s Oak roll-top desk with all of the cubby holes? The one that’s now been handed down to Aunt Marge? Remember gazing at the china in your grandmother’s real wood Cherry hutch that’s now gracing your mother’s kitchen? Remember sitting around Aunt Betty’s Pine dining table listening to Uncle Ed tell the same jokes he tells every year at Thanksgiving? The table that’s now the centerpiece of your cousin’s dining room?

Your Turn

Want your furniture to tell your unique story and to inspire memories? Then, it has to last. It’s your turn to enjoy quality, real wood furniture, and you don’t have to wait to have it handed down to you! (Besides what if your sister gets it instead?)

How do you ensure your furniture lasts from generation to generation instead of merely a decade?

Choose Unfinished Furniture

Unfinished furniture is quality furniture constructed of real wood. No particle board is substituted for the real thing. However, furniture from the finished furniture industry is typically a mix of real wood and particle board or chip board.

Why It Lasts

Why is this mixing of real wood and particle board such a problem? Wood expands and contracts depending on the humidity in the air. As particle board does not expand and contract, but the wood does, the joints will eventually break from each other. However, when constructed well, the natural expansion or contraction will cause no change in the real wood furniture’s structural integrity. So when comparing real wood unfinished furniture vs. finished furniture, think Superman vs. Mickey Mouse. Although Mickey’s cute, really –- there’s no contest.

Added Value

Discount Log Furniture

One main reason for the popularity of log furniture is that it is very long lasting. It is this very feature that makes it quite expensive too. However those who are keen on log furniture but are on a limited budget need not despair. You can find some great discounted log furniture that, because of the wood is made from, is in great shape and reasonably priced.

When you buy discounted log furniture make sure you check the grade of the wood it is made from. An inferior quality will not last as long as first grade wood, and the money you spend will be wasted. First grade discounted log furniture is less expensive because it usually comes unfinished and unassembled. There are also discounts on log furniture that is finished in a color that is not appealing to many people; therefore, it is harder to sell unless a discount is applied. If you chose a piece of furniture that is not finished or in a color that is not to your liking, you can have it shipped to your home and refinish it. The manufacturer has all the products that you will need to assemble, stain and varnish the pieces that you have purchased. You can also opt to have skilled carpenters finish the pieces for you. However, most people who buy these unfinished pieces take pride in completing the project themselves.

The other type of discount log furniture that is available is generally of inferior quality. There are those who love log furniture but cannot afford the high prices of first grade wood, so they have the option to buy an inferior quality. The life span of this furniture will be shorter than the finest wood, but if it is taken care of with a coating of stain and varnish every so often, it will look great and last for years. Any discounted log furniture that you purchase, with a little care, will remain a prized possession for a long time.
