Ready-to-finish furniture gives you a wide range of options that can meet all your furniture needs. Wood material is a choice that not only long life but also unique. Solid Wood means that all exposed parts of the furniture are made of solid board, either softwood or hardwood lumber. No veneers or particle boards are used. When solid boards are used in furniture construction, they are glued together side by side along the edges. Remember, “all-wood furniture” is not necessarily solid wood. A veneer can help you achieve the look you desire at a cost lower than solid lumber. Artificial veneers can be overlaid on plywood or particleboard. A plywood core is lighter, less expensive and more forgiving if damaged, but it can swell if it gets wet. If damaged, particleboard will often fracture because the material is so hard it cannot absorb a shock.
