The furniture industry, like all others, has undergone many transformations over the years. The materials used for production, which were previously limited to a couple of options, are now available in many ranges. Aesthetics, functionality, lifestyle preferences, strength, weight, and many other factors influence the choice of material used for furniture, whether for residential or commercial purposes. Wood, plastic, chrome, PVC, glass, steel, and reed are just some of the types of raw materials that are available today. Plastic, in particular, has gained quite a bit of popularity in the last two decades. Yet time and time again, society continues to shift toward wood for furniture, despite the abundance of alternatives. Let’s take a look at why wood is still preferred over plastic and other furniture:

Durability: Reputable home furniture manufacturers, as well as those who specialize in creating modern office furniture, are sought after by their customers due to the strength of the wood used in their ranges. Wood continues to be favored around the world, by people of all cultures, due to its long-lasting and long-lasting properties in nature. In addition, wood ages beautifully, so unlike materials like plastic, it doesn’t lose its natural charm and can be seen as new with a bit of polishing. General wear and tear, which can cause dents, scratches, and other forms of damage, can look extremely unappealing on plastic furniture and make it look old and worn fairly quickly. Wood, on the other hand, can absorb such wear much more easily.

Aesthetic advantage: Wooden furniture has an aesthetic appeal that remains unmatched by other materials such as plastic, to this day. Whether your personal style leans toward old-world charm or contemporary modular office furniture, wood can be used in extremely diverse ways. It lends itself to a variety of styles, is available in many natural hues and hues, can be painted to personal preference, and can be engraved with beautiful patterns and motifs.

Comfort: Due to the solid composition of the wood, it is considered favorable for various types of postures, whether sitting or lying down. Therefore, the use of wood in modular office furniture is very widespread, which is quite important given the time people spend sitting in chairs. Manufacturers of office and home furniture make extensive use of different types of wood depending on individual needs, and can benefit from their strength. In fact, many people with chronic back pain are advised to sleep in beds made of solid wood, as they can be therapeutic in the long term. This type of bracket is simply not available in plastic.

Versatility: What makes wood such a preferred choice for furniture is also the fact that it can be beautifully combined with many other types of materials such as metal and glass. The glass panels on exquisitely carved wooden doors, for example, or the glass tops on elegant teak wood tables, are not only contemporary and modern, but functionally brilliant as well.

It is no surprise; therefore, wooden furniture continues to be so popular with customers and furniture manufacturers!
