I told my husband I didn’t want faux wood furniture, but i knew that much of the furniture you get today is fabricated wood, however that wasn’t what I wanted.
I wanted natural wood furniture.
I didn’t want fabricated wood, pressed wood, or some other product that was made to look enjoy real wood. I wanted natural wood furniture for our furniture, then natural furniture was different. It had real grain that entirely looked better as it aged. You could buff the wood and make it lovely to the eye and the feel. You didn’t need a lot of paint and varnish to bring out the beauty in natural wood furniture! My husband didn’t want to spend my money the price the furniture stores were now getting for natural wood furniture. I told him I didn’t care if it was oak furniture or maple furniture. I wanted natural wood furniture because of how well it held up under stress… He jokingly told myself and others he would have all the natural wood furniture custom made and I jumped with joy. I didn’t realize he was joking until he told myself and others he would be the 1 making the custom made furniture. I was so angry that I walked to our home office and locked the door. He just didn’t understand why I couldn’t settle for something less than natural wood furniture, and over the next week, I showed him the difference between natural wood furniture and fabricated wood furniture. He understood what I meant when I said there was a big difference. He also understood why it cost more, because the natural wood furniture lasted much longer than the fake wood furniture.
