Bare Wood Furniture Vs. Finished: Which One Is More Affordable, Better Quality, More Tough, And Fully Exclusive.

I've a biased belief when it comes to answering the question that's the title of this article, and I know it. At most, I can simply hope to adequately justify my position that bare wood furniture is, dollar for dollar, the far higher value, but let's take a look at a few of the reasons why and see if I can not convince you.

First, bare wood furniture is created with...well, wood. Not pressboard, not particle board, not sawdust and Elmer's attempting to pass itself off as wood, but actual, honest to goodness wood! Next time you're at your local chain shop, ask them to show you all their "solid wood" furniture and really look it over. Most of the time, I'm betting you will find pressboard somewhere.

Next, bare wood furniture costs lower. Often a lot less. Yes, you have to "do something" to it (and we will get to that in a moment), but that's more of a chance gained than lost. Economic times being what they are, most everyone is looking to save money where they can, and this looks like a great tradeoff to me.

Third, bare wood furniture permits you to put your creative stamp on it as you finish the piece, instead of getting something "just like every 3rd house in the country." Express yourself! Be unique! Create something that's real "you."

Fourth, bare wood furniture is more durable. That's since, ultimately, all that pressboard actually isn't extremely strong. All wood furniture is as rough and durable as it's attractive.

Fifth, bare wood furniture looks better with time. With appropriate care at its finishing, you can create an heirloom piece which will probably serve for decades. Most shop bought furniture just becomes "used furniture" after 3-5 years. Great difference.

I am in love with bare wood furniture
with my first piece (a 6' tall, oak, double bookcase). As we gradually replace the furniture in our house, as much as possible, we are going with bare wood furniture. It is less costly, higher quality, more stable, and entirely unique.
