subject: Handmade Furniture Yields Quality Construction And Lasts For Generations [print this page] A man's -- and woman's -- home is his castle and any king should furnish his abode in the finest furniture available.Handmade wood furniture is crafted with care and detail. It will last longer than mass-manufactured furniture and looks a lot better. Yes, it more than likely will cost more, but the cost over a longer lifetime of each piece will pay for the extra cost many times over.
In addition, you can customize hand made furniture to your exact needs and tastes. Do you prefer a mix of styles, say Art Moderne with Mod? Handmade furniture can be built exactly as you wish, with materials of your choosing, with upholstery or wood finishes that suit you, not a furniture manufacturer.
Hand made furniture are items you will pass down to your children and grandchildren. .Handmade furniture is part of your legacy -- as well as history. In addition, a custom-made desk or couch has a story behind it -- your story -- one you, your children and grandchildren and even great-grandchildren and beyond will come to cherish and repeat again and again.
Handmade wood furniture is created by craftsman who have spent years honing and perfecting their skills. They take their time building your furniture, ensuring it will last for decades to come. In addition, quality handmade wood furniture increases in value over time. You've no doubt seen Antiques Roadshow; very little of the valuable furniture featured on the show was mass produced. Your hand made furniture could easily appear on the Antiques Roadshow of the 22nd century!
No one visiting your home will have furniture like the handmade furniture you've commissioned or purchased. The pieces in your living room, dining room, family room and bedrooms will be unique to you and your family's needs.
In fact, handmade furniture allows you to have a piece created that fits your exact needs. For example, do standard-sized, mass-made couches take up too much room in your small living room? A custom couch can be handcrafted to the measurements you require. The wood used to create your furniture also will be hand-selected by the furniture maker of only the best cherry, maple, oak or other wood of your choosing.
Handmade wood furniture also is more ecologically friendly. Each piece is made individually, using smaller tools and cutting instruments -- no large, mass produced machines build handmade furniture.
The furniture we purchase will "live" with us for years. Long-lasting handmade furniture is of a better value over the years than "inexpensive" mass produced pieces.
