wood used for making furniture in india


experts often say that the quality, style and life of wooden furniture pieces usually decreases or increases dramatically because of the type or variety of wood used in its manufacture. in most cases, the customer is unaware of the type of wood that has been used for the making of a particular furniture piece. they are also ignorant about whether the wood used is of the correct quality, unless of course, the wood is meshed and handmade. several wooden furniture manufacturers, however, divulge to the customer about the type of wood used. they also give information about other options.


sheesham is one of the most popular woods used in the making of wooden furniture. it's a hardwood and very strong also. indian wooden furniture manufacturers swear by the wood. sheesham is usually the chosen wood among the aristocrat and wealthy. besides, those who have a basic knowledge about the various types of wood available and their appropriate usage, would vouch by sheesham. the wood comes without any stains and is a very close competitor to mahogany and walnut with regard to durability and looks.


teak and rosewood are the two closest competitors of sheesham. both these types of wood are very durable and known for their hardness. they are widely used in making various types of furniture like beds, cupboards, dressing tables etc. they are also used for making sofas, dining tables, furniture accessories, side tables etc.


the third most widely used wood in mango wood. you can still have durable furniture, comparable to teak and rosewood, even if you use mango wood. it's cheaper but possesses the same elegance and style. if you want wooden furniture that resembles the ones found in palaces and fort the acacia would be a very good choice.


mango wood is also a fine choice for using in various other household items. common furniture pieces in your living room and bedroom like the tv cabinet, cd and dvd cabinet, book racks, drawers etc. are commonly made from mango wood. most people, these days, don't want to waste even the minimum of wood. but even then, some wastage is likely to happen while making the furniture. hence, people are increasingly opting for mango wood and it's being considered as a worthy substitute to the other expensive types.


of late, various new kinds of wood have started flooding the markets. some wooden furniture pieces today are being manufactured from hybrid wood. this type of wood is made from a mesh of two or more woods. besides, plywood and particle board wood has also made its entry. they are being increasingly used in the manufacture of furniture and other items. a big reason behind their popularity is the high price of conventional wood. moreover, most governments have implemented stringent laws to preserve forest resources. there's big control nowadays on the felling of trees.
quality wooden furniture last for generations and are an absolute value for money. regular maintenance can ensure their longevity.
