What is solid wood furniture?

Solid wood as a quality term is subject to a strict standard, yet consumers must be prepared to be misled with creative paraphrases such as “solid wood furniture” or “real wood”. The designation solid wood furniture is bindingly regulated in DIN 68871, which states that furniture may be labeled as solid wood furniture if all parts except the back panel and drawer bottoms are made of solid wood.

What are the advantages of solid wood furniture?

Wooden furniture made entirely of naturally grown wood offers a lot of advantages. If you compare it with furniture made of chipboard, solid wood furniture is not only healthier to live with, it is also very durable and stable. With solid wood furniture nothing is glued, so there are no unwanted evaporations.

In which rooms are solid wood furniture actually suitable?

Most people think of solid wood furniture as a sturdy bed or a rustic table. However, those who appreciate a natural quality of living can furnish pretty much any living space with solid wood furniture: open-pore wood for kitchens or oiled wood for bathrooms. There is an almost infinite choice of different woods.
