Why Wooden Furniture?

Timber or solid wood has been the choice material for making furniture in Nigeria since recorded time. The industrial revolution across the world changed the fortunes of wood furniture a bit as it ushered in cheaper, alternative materials that are mass produced. These included steel, plastic, composite, and aluminum.

However through the years, even as its production declined, wood furniture has only grown in prominence. There is something timeless about furniture made from wood, and it’s for this reason that Ezeja have continued to come out with new designs while retaining the classics of wood furniture in Nigeria.

Let’s look at some reasons while wood furniture has remained a valuable possession in Nigeria and across the world.

Advantages of Wood furniture in Nigeria

1. Wood furniture is durable

As opposed to the many cheap, alternative materials like MDF that people use nowadays to make furniture, solid wood furniture lasts for ages with very little maintenance.

Exactly how durable these pieces can be will depend on the type of wood you choose to use. True hardwoods like Mahogany, Iroko, and Teak retain their rich appearance indefinitely.

Well-made wood furniture crafted from the types of hardwood listed above can last for decades even under constant usage and adverse weather conditions.

While not as durable as furniture made from hardwoods, wood furniture made from softwood tend to grow in character over time. Scratches and dents in softwood furniture give it a rustic, shabby-chic feel.

The lighter colour of softwood also tends to only get darker and deeper as it’s exposed to light over time. This more rich look extend the longevity of softwood pieces, making newer pieces an investment worth waiting for.

No matter what type you choose, wood remains far and away the most durable material out there.

This kind of durability makes sure that the wood furniture retains the value of your purchase. If you ever want to sell a piece down the road, the market for wood furniture has only broadened as the years have gone on.

As long as the piece is well maintained, its value can only grow as days go by.

2. Wood furniture is easy to maintain

Wood furniture is very easy to maintain. Cleaning wood is usually as simple as regularly dusting. Spills and other sticky messes can be cleaned with a wet microfiber cloth. It is as simple as that!

If you treat your wood furniture well, you will never have to worry about maintenance past the occasional dusting. With other materials, like iron, you will always have to worry about eventual rust if you’re not constantly vigilant.

3. The unique grains and textures of wood make every piece of wood furniture different

Even if two pieces of wood furniture are made the same way, with the same type of material, there will be subtle differences between them. You will notice the differences in their grains and textures.

Further, a craftsman has much more freedom when working with wood than any other material. While a machine can only do so much with plastic or metal, an artisan is presented infinite possibilities with solid wood.

Solid wood is malleable in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing. There’s a reason woodcarving has been around since the dawn of man.

This is one of the main reasons why wood furniture is so highly valued among other types of furniture in Nigeria. Each piece you own will be utterly unique to anything else in the world.

4. Wood furniture can match any home decor

Wood furniture can fit in any home aesthetic. For a rustic look, you look for rustic wood. For a modern minimalist design, you can still find wood furniture that go well with this.

If you’re more eclectically inclined you can have fun mixing and matching different types of wood, either throughout the house or in one room.

Only wood furniture grants you this kind of subtle versatility!

5. Wood furniture is modifiable

Finishing, staining and different specialty finishing options for wood furniture can add a kind of customization to your wood furniture as well as improving its durability.

Staining your wood furniture can help you get that perfect color you’ve always wanted for your furniture.

Staining wood can also be helpful in matching a piece of furniture to the colorway of the room you want it in. Stains are an effective way to give the wood the color you want without sacrificing the wood’s natural grain or texture.

6. Solid wood furniture is stylish

Beauty. Character. Value. Solid wood furniture has it all and is worth the investment!

With the proper care, wood furniture will last for generations to come and its value will only go up.
