- Strength: Wood is definitely one of the strongest materials we can use to make furniture. It is resistant to temperature and unlike metal, doesn't expand or contract with extreme temperatures. Its strength lies in this very fact. It can withstand scratch without showing it on the surface. Metals, on the other hand, are not scratch resistant most of the times.

You don't need to spend money on maintaining wood furniture but you should see to it that you don't allow water to settle in for long periods of time.

It gives a sense of elegance, a classy grandeur and a sophisticated charm to your interiors. Its property of being carved in any shape allows for intricate wooden carving doors that look grand! After all, who wouldn't want carving doors when we've skilled craftsmen and sophisticated technology available today?
Wood offers environmental benefits as well. It doesn't cause any pollution when it is being made, used or discarded. Other furniture pieces may cause harm to the environment at the time of being made or during their improper disposal. Trees that fall down naturally can be put to use for making furniture so that trees are not specifically cut for the purpose of designing furniture for homes and offices.
Further, the presence of wooden furniture in your room can impact your health positively. Due to its properties, it can help maintain good humidity and proper living conditions.
