Why Mango Wood?

Did you know that approximately 70% of our solid wood furniture offerings here at World Interiors are constructed from Mango wood? The manufacturer of our solid wood furniture has pioneered the use of Mango wood for furniture production. As a founding member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council, they were interested in identifying a wood that had the beauty and durability of an exotic tropical hardwood, while at the same time being an ecologically renewable resource.

Mango wood is ideally suited for furniture in that it has a density and hardness similar to that of Cherry or Walnut.  As the most common fruit tree in the world, Mango trees are constantly being replanted for their food crops.  Once trees have stopped bearing fruit, they are harvested for their lumber.  Then new, younger trees are replanted in their place to ensure a self-sustaining ecological cycle and to reduce our carbon footprint.

Once harvested, our Mango wood is then finished using eco-safe techniques and finishes that are water-based instead of the typical high-VOC, oil based finishes used by so many others.  These water-based finishes create both a healthier work environment for our furniture artisans and a cleaner Earth with reduced global warming.  Additionally, this ensures less chemicals in the air of our customers' homes!

So make the smart, eco-friendly choice and add some beautiful solid Mango wood furniture from World Interiors to your home today!
