Why Buy Real SOLID WOOD Furniture?

Solid wood furniture from World Interiors is strong enough to last families for generations.  It resists scratches and dents far better than the veneered products you find at our competitors.  Solid woods retain their beauty longer, but there are definitely some things to keep in mind when purchasing solid wood furniture.

Solid wood is a natural material, and variations in grain and color . . . as well as the presence of knots, small cracks, and mineral deposits . . . are to be expected. Sometimes filler or a wood patch is required, and one of our manufacturer's expert craftsmen will make these corrections to prevent wasting the valuable wood. These character marks are often either concealed and/or incorporated in the natural distressing of the product.

These natural characteristics do not interfere with the structural integrity of the piece, but instead give each piece its unique character.

Additionally, changes in climate and weather may cause solid wood furniture to "move". This is natural.  Our manufacturer employs construction and finishing techniques (like floating panels and tabletops) to minimize the effects of this movement by allowing the wood to expand and contract naturally. Seasonal cracks and splits, while not common with our products, may open from time to time, but these are considered normal if not excessive, and can usually be easily repaired. And these can be kept to a minimum by avoiding exposure to extreme elements such as temperature, moisture, or prolonged sunlight.
