• Bare Wood Furniture Vs. Finished: Which One Is Less Costly, Higher Quality, More Durable, And Totally Unique.


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

    First, bare wood furniture is built out of ...well, wood. Not pressboard, not particle board, not sawdust and Elmer's trying to pass itself off as wood, but actual, honest to goodness wood! Next time you are 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'll find pressboard somewhere.

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

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

    Fourth, bare wood furniture is more durable. That's as, at the end of the day, all that pressboard actually is not very strong. All wood furniture is as rugged and durable as it is beautiful.

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