June 23, 2006, Newsletter Issue #77: Is it Really Wood?

Tip of the Week

Be cautious when buying furniture. Just because someone says it is "solid wood" doesnīt mean it is good. Particle board and MDF [Medium Density Fiberboard] are still "wood", but they arenīt what you think. They are very hard to repair and much heavier than "real" wood. They will NOT last if under heavy use. Always ask, "solid what wood"? Furniture marked Solid Oak, Cherry or Ash is a better bet.
