The Simple Pleasure Of Solid Wood Furniture

November 30th, 2016 Blog

From time to time, we at Woodcraft hear someone ask us why they should invest more in solid wood furniture like a desk, bookcase, dining table, or chair, rather than buy it premade (and mass-manufactured) from a big box store. In truth, it’s a matter of taste, and those who want solid wood furniture, handcrafted by people who have been dedicated to making furniture that their customers come to love, desire something unique, long-lasting, and beautiful. We only use high quality woods and stains, well-made joints, and make everything to fit the dimensions our customers require. You wouldn’t shortchange yourself by purchasing a substandard home – why would you expect anything less from the furniture with which you fill that home?

You can tell that our tables and desks are made with attentive, caring hands as you run your own along the grain, feel the corners, and test the strength of the joints as you apply your weight to them. Woodcraft has been in the business since 1974 because of our multi-generational commitment to quality and a love for what we do, whether that’s building our own unique design of office desk, working with our customers on a one-of-kind, custom wood dining table, or restoring and refinishing a cherished family heirloom.

Our designs are made to make a bold statement in your home but fit a variety of looks, whether you’re looking for darker colours and contemporary shapes for your dining table or traditional styles of office collections and bookcases. We receive orders from across North America from discerning furniture buyers who have come to expect a higher quality than what’s available from mass-manufacturers. We offer turnkey delivery, including placement and assembly, because we want our pieces to arrive safely and soundly in your home.

At Woodcraft, we like to think that we’re making an heirloom for your family – one that will withstand decades of use, that will gather dents and scratches in its role at the heart of a busy family life. That’s why we take restoration and refinishing so seriously, stripping by hand and not by soaking or dipping with acids that can weaken glue used in older joints. We can bring new life to older pieces of furniture by stripping old paints and updating them with a more contemporary look that will match your home, including moving from darker colours to lighter ones. We love bringing new life to old wood because we know what big box furniture retailers don’t – you can’t prepackage memories.

Contact us if you’re ready to invest in solid wood furniture that you will be proud to bring into your home or visit our website and see our one-of-a-kind designs as well as your options for wood and colours. Most of our pieces are available in pine, maple, wormy maple, cherry, and oak and the colours that will best complement both the wood and your own home design. There are hundreds of ways to decorate your dining room, but it all begins with a wood dining table. Your home deserves something made to fit your tastes, home, and family; get solid wood furniture from a company that listens.
