If you want your bedroom regal and elegant, you can always count on solid wood furniture to give you that distinct aura. But while it may be easy to appreciate this type of home furnishing, it’s not something you can just bring home indiscriminately. When the sanding is done against the natural grain of the wood, it ends up rough with dark lines.

A good piece with a good stain will then enhance the natural charm of the wood. The final step is applying the finish which can either be glossy or matte. In both, the wood should only feel silky smooth and look rich in color. Remember that high-quality furniture will always have its insides and undersides finished to avoid shrinking or swelling as it reacts to temperature and humidity.

Another thing to look into when judging the value of wood furniture is the wood itself. This wood can be either of three – hard, soft or engineered. Hardwoods are mahogany, oak, maple, birch, teak, walnut and exquisite cherry while softwoods would be fir, pine, redwood and cedar. While softwoods can also make quality furniture, they’re easier to scratch and bend compared to the hardwoods. Of course, when it comes to furniture quality, construction will always play a vital role.

How a furniture piece is put together will always affect how it looks, how it functions and especially how long it lasts. Foremost in matters of construction quality considerations are joinery and sturdiness. To know if a piece is sturdy enough, it shouldn’t make those squeaky sounds when you try to shake it. Corner blocks are also important in making furniture stronger and more stable.
