5 Reasons why you should buy solid wood furniture

Wood has been in our furniture for centuries, but nowadays we have a lot of different and cheaper materials like "laminate", "veneer", "MDF" and others. Solid wood is still the finest of all. There are many reasons why you should buy it instead of the other materials. Here are the main five.

First of all, solid wood is durable trough many years regardless of its use, so its resistance is something that other materials can't copy.

The second reason is the relationship between price and quality. Of course, there are cheaper materials, but the quality of solid wood is something that you cannot compare.

Another reason is that solid wood has the most attractive finishes. All different types of materials, including solid wood, can be painted in any colour, the difference is that you can choose an extensive variety of wood grains from sources like oak and walnut, among others.

The fourth reason is the details, with wood you can create furniture with fascinating carvings, motifs, mouldings or other types of embellishment.

The fifth and last reason is design. Nowadays you find solid wood in many different styles from traditional to contemporary.

Here at Wewood we only use walnut and oak to show our love for the natural beauty of the wood and these two types of wood are the hardest to copy because they have distinctive grain patterns.
