In a world where so much furniture is made cheaply and designed to be thrown away after a couple of years' use, it makes sense to invest in timeless classics that are designed and manufactured to be used for year upon year, such as oak or teak furniture.
We have sadly grown so used to flat pack and cheap furniture that we have often forgotten how to appreciate the finer things in life. We compare on the price tag alone, forgetting that a well crafted piece of furniture will outlive its cheaper cousins by three or four times or more.
A good piece of furniture will improve not deteriorate over time. I have some well worn pieces that were my mother's and her mother's before that, and they have not lost their sense of elegance and style. They look as classic today as they did one hundred years ago.
It is for this reason that I often buy furniture in antique shops or rustic second hand shops as I know that if they have lasted this good for so long, they are not likely to give up the ghost any time soon. They need to be loved and taken care of with wax and patina for the best effect.So before you judge a piece of furniture on its being the cheapest in the shop, consider how long it will last.
