Solid Wood

The cream of the crop in the furniture industry is working with solid wood. At Furniturespot we believe that great design should be available for everyone, and if we only would work with solid wood it would mean our items are only available for the happy few. We would like to make furniture for the ‘happy many’!

Therefore, our designers and makers at Furniturespot love to work with engineered wood, also known as veneer. The price is 400% cheaper than a solid oak top. It is better resistant to the South African climate with no risk of cupping, bowing, cracking of the top and it is easy in maintenance.

But don’t you worry, we do still work with solid woods such as French oak. But always in combination with veneer. Most of our tabletops have a veneer oak top with a solid oak edge. Designing furniture with best of both worlds in mind.
