There’s no denying; its certainly a throw away world, whether it’s bags to hold your shopping or a pair of shoes; if it’s not a good quality item then once it’s past its best then it goes in the bin. However things have not always been like this. Many years ago if an item broke then it was repaired to prolong its life. People have just got so used to buying and accepting poor quality that it has become the norm for many and items such as flat pack furniture are not really expected to last more than a couple of years at the most.
But what options do you have open to you if you are not a fan of flat-pack? Look around and you’ll still be able to find some companies out there who manufacture items that will stand the test of time. They will use good quality hard wearing woods such as oak and walnut to produce beautiful pieces of furniture that are designed to not only look good, but to last for many years.
Nothing can beat a beautiful piece of furniture that is well designed and produced by a skilled craftsman. The natural grain of the wood will look amazing in any setting and is well worth paying the extra for.
Solid wood furniture does not have to be traditional or look old fashioned. If you choose a contemporary design, then it will not look out of place in a modern home but will add a feeling of quality to the room. Try a chunky coffee table with clean square lines or a hall table with a couple of drawers and a shelf to add a bit of modern character to your home. Plus, quality furniture like this comes ready to use, so no more struggling with a screwdriver to build it once it’s been delivered.
