Furniture has become another important asset in our home. The furniture is dedicated to bring us more comfort for all the residents to stay at home. Furthermore the furniture can also bring a better look and beauty in our home. The furniture is commonly made of wooden materials. Wooden furniture has been the most popular material and has been existed for hundreds of years. Today, there are some categories of wooden materials tailored into furniture that may include hardwoods, softwoods and composites. In general, hardwoods are considered the highest quality and are the most expensive. Five hardwoods commonly used in home furniture include cherry, walnut, oak, maple and mahogany. The softwoods are less expensive but it requires more extra care. These kinds of woods are less durable and much easier to scratch or dent softwood furniture. These woods have less beautiful grains than the hardwoods, therefore it would not be able to be stained or painted beautifully. One example of softwood is the pinewood. This pinewood is also commonly used for furniture and commonly used in construction as well.



Composite furniture is the cheapest wood. This kind of material is not naturally grown but manufactured. The composite materials may include plywood, particle board, hardboard and MDF. Plywood is manufactured form multi layers of thin wooden sheets that are glued and pressed. It is strong and resistance to swelling, shrinking and warping. Particle board is made of sawdust and small wood chips that are mixed with glue and resin which is then shaped and pressure treated. The particle board is easily splits therefore it is generally covered with laminate or veneer. Hardboard is made of the particle board but it is placed under higher pressure that is why it is much stronger.MDF or Medium Density Fiberboard is made of wood particles and bonded with resin and compressed. It is harder than particle board or hardboard but it is not as strong as plywood. Technically furniture can be made by hardwood, softwood and composites the durability is the main factor that makes a large difference between those materials. The prices would also range from the hardwoods down the composites. A proper care on hardwood furniture will last for decades or even generations.

These woods can be tailored into many kinds of furniture that may range from bedroom into chairs.
