I told our hubby I didn’t want faux wood furniture, then 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 appreciate real wood. I wanted natural wood furniture for our furniture, and natural furniture was different. It had real grain that really looked better as it aged, however you could buff the wood & make it beautiful to the eye & the feel. You didn’t need a lot of paint & varnish to bring out the beauty in natural wood furniture, my hubby didn’t want to spend 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, but he jokingly told myself and others he would have all the natural wood furniture custom made & I jumped with joy. I didn’t realize he was joking until he told myself and others he would be the one making the custom made furniture. I was so miserable that I walked to our dining room & locked the door. He just didn’t understand why I could not settle for something less than natural wood furniture, and over the next month, I showed him the difference between natural wood furniture & 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.
