The Advantages Of Handmade Wood Furniture

By Jeffrey Stone


The value and worth of furniture has really changed as time passes by. Fittings and fixtures are not of the same quality they were in the past as their value has really been reduced. This has been attributed to high demand for furniture leading to the adoption of other cheap means of producing fittings at a cheaper cost by industries. This excerpt will discuss the gains of using handmade wood furniture in the current world.

Solid handcrafted timber fittings are more durable that industry made fittings. Industries aim is profit making and not the durability of products they make. Thus, the fittings produced in industries are made of low quality manufactured timber that is not created to last. Fittings made from solid timber are very strong and durable that can be passed down to generations still in perfect condition.

Solid handcrafted lumber fittings are cheaper than manufactured fittings in the long run. The cost of often replacement of fixtures because of wearing-off ends up outwitting the cost of obtaining handcrafted fixtures which are more costly to buy. Furnishings made of solid wood are lifetime investments that are among the valuable items people value the most because they are very cheap to maintain.

Handcrafted furnishings can be customized to fit into client's preference and tastes. This is an important benefit because a client gets what they want and they do not worry about finding the same type of furnishings elsewhere as they are unique. Industrially manufactured furnishings are always the same and there is a high probability of finding the same type elsewhere only differentiated by color or pattern.

Handcrafted fittings are eco-friendly. The fact that they are made to last, they reduce instances of pilling up cheap stuff that has already worn out to peoples' landfill, unlike manufactured fittings. When solid timber furnishings wear out, timber used in making them can be recycled to serve other purposes but manufactured furnishings are a waste when they wear out and cannot be reused again.

Distribution of income within a society is facilitated by acquiring handcrafted timber furnishings. This is achieved by the fact that solid timber furnishings are made by artisans within the society making the money paid for them remain in the society. This is seen as supporting local society and community at large and at the same time, it saves on the cost incurred in transporting furnishings since it is within the same location.

The energy requirements in making handcrafted solid timber furnishes are very minimal compared to the energy required to make industry manufactured furnishes. A lot of coal, nuclear and natural gas energy is employed in making manufactured furnishes leading to a lot of emissions into the environment. Handcrafted furnishes do not produce any harmful emissions to the environment.

The art of craftsmanship is promoted through the sale of handcrafted solid timber furniture. This improves skills of artisans through exposure to clients' different designs throughout time making a class of skilled craftsmanship within a society. This builds a tradition of craftsmanship that is passed through to generations as a heritage and pride of the society. Manufactured furnishings contribute to dwindling craftsmanship.
