Beech Wood
Beech wood is a fine-grained wood that has a light orange to salmon color. We love its distinct pore pattern. The wood is often used in making solid wood.
One of the advantages of using beech wood for furniture is that it is odorless. It is the best choice if you do not want to have a wood smell in your living room or bedroom, and yet want light colored furniture.
Here are 5 advantaged of beech wood for furniture
Flexible
Beech wood can be used for manufacturing curved furniture, as it’s easily malleable, making it a great candidate for almost everything – chairs, cabinets, flooring, spoons, cutting boards, and even goblets. It is very easy to work with beech wood for industry precisely for these purposes
Durable
Belonging to the category of “hard-wearing” wood, beech hardwood is non-porous, has a solid density and a strong surface. This means, it will last against pressure, chipping, and gouging, more than some other varieties of wood.
Shock-absorbent
The evenly textured, straight-grained beech wood offers significant resistance to pressure, because of being hard, heavy, and strong. Keeping this in mind, beech wood is also good for floorings, as in can bear weight and high-impact force.
Easy maintenance
Lightly steamed beech lumber is often used to highlight the natural grain, finish, and color uniformity of the wood. Since it has long-lasting properties, beech wood furniture will stand the test of time, and look good even years later. In an event of severe cosmetic damage, simply sanding down the edges can do the trick.
Polyester fabric furniture
Polyester certainly has its place in the furniture world thanks to its many advantages that it has over natural upholstery options. This makes it a great, affordable fabric that can last whether you use it indoors or out.
Here are all the benefits for buying polyester upholstery furniture:
Polyester is one of the easiest fabrics to clean, this is because any stains do not soak into the fabric like cotton, but rather it only allows the stain to rest on top of it, making for a very easy fabric to deal with in the event of a mess in the living room. It is also one of the easiest fabrics to maintain, as well. Leather requires a complex way to clean it in order to keep it in great condition. In comparison, polyester is simpler.
What is great about polyester is that you can get polyester furniture in any color you see fit. Natural fabrics on the other hand come in a limited amount of natural colors. Whether you would like a polyester couch in a natural color, or in a color that fits with your living room’s color scheme, there are many colors to choose from no matter what online retailer you visit.
Due to the synthetic nature of polyester, it is considered an upholstery type that can last a long time. In fact, it’s even one of the best choices for furniture you could use outdoors. Polyester is water repellant and mildew resistant. The color on polyester furniture also doesn’t fade, so homeowners do not need to worry about exposure to the sun.
One concern about furniture that some homeowners have is that it is hard to move. While all furniture with a decent structure is considered heavy, polyester furniture will tend to always be one of the lightest types of furniture to carry. You can easily make this distinction just by feeling a polyester cushion, and how it’s light and airy to the feel. Other fabrics like velvet or rayon are considered a little bit heavier, and homeowners don’t realize how much of a difference this makes until they have to move it.
Polyester can have a personality of its own, too. Polyester is woven in a crisscross texture, giving it a sense of personality rather than just a solid, flat color. This texture is nice to look at in addition to feel, so you’re not getting a bland fabric for being synthetic and affordable.
