As regards the wood, be careful in selecting it properly. Certain conditions would determine the type of wood you‘ll want i.e. hardwood or softwood. For instance, if you plan to use the furniture outdoors, you have to select hardwood that can withstand the elements of nature better. They warp less and also absorb lesser amounts of water. Oak and teak are the two best woods that can be used outdoors. If you plan to use your furniture indoors, you can go for some variety of softwood like mango wood or rosewood. Indian sheesham is also used extensively for the manufacture of indoor furniture. As already said, the placement issue plays another big role in determining the furniture that you want to buy. You must always have an idea of the space available to place your furniture. This is because you may have trouble if you find that you have bought a furniture item and there‘s insufficient space to keep it. It would be nothing short of a disaster. Also, too small a furniture piece at a relatively larger space would be an eyesore.
No part of the exterior should be chipped. If it is dented, you should consider a different piece. When you buy furniture, especially solid wood pieces, make sure that the surface is scratch resistant. They should also be easy to maintain. Painted solid wood furniture should also be painted well and evenly. Make sure you check the drawers especially when buying dressers and chests. The drawers should roll out perfectly. Also understand the drawer mechanism to make sure that it can be easily replaced when it finally gives out. Certain types of drawer tracks tend to be prone to damage and they might cause the drawer to get stuck.
Beside mahogany and mango, Indian rosewood is also used in the manufacture of dark furniture. In fact, furniture designers these days, are carving out more modern designs that sport straight edges and humble artwork. Many of these new designs are able to create a unique look inside a room, ideal for those who don‘t intend to follow the crowd. Before buying any piece of dark furniture, always inquire how much of the product is manufactured from solid wood, particularly in the case of mango and mahogany pieces. Sometimes, solid wood is mixed with veneer to keep the prices down. If the price of the furniture seems to be unbelievably cheap, then that may not be pure dark furniture.
But newlyweds should have enough patience to look through many second-hand stores and estate or moving sales. Home furnishing is a continuous process. Furniture pieces are replaced every now and then to suit both the functional and design needs of the young couple‘s home. If they started with used furniture, they may eventually upgrade to brand new pieces later on. The couple can also check some useful furniture shopping tips from online sites on how they can trade in their old furniture for new ones as a practical way to dispose of the old but still usable furniture. That way, they don‘t have to spend as much as they would if they don‘t trade in the old piece.
