THE SOLID WOOD ADVANTAGE AT BEDROOM WORLD
At Bedroom World we feature solid hardwood furniture because it is
simply the best. Every hardwood board will predictobly share the
characteristics of its species such as - oak, ash, alder, maple,
cherry, birch ond poplar- yet each displays a face which is uniquely
its own. Each piece of furniture made from solid wood has a character
of its own. It is genuine, not an imitation... natural, not
synthetic... classic, not artificial. Solid hardwood furniture offers
the potential for many generations of hard use. It is exceptionally
durable. It can live with nicks and scratches, is easily repaired and
refinished. The value of solid hardwood furniture is lasting. To avoid
confusion when shopping, here are the essential differences in how wood
is used to make furniture:
- Solid hardwood - Exposed furniture parts are made of hardwood lumber.
- Hardwood veneers - Thin slices of wood glued to a wood, ply wood or particleboard core.
- Artificial laminates - Simulations of natural wood bonded to particleboard.
What may look at first like solid wood may be something else.
Artificial lominate surfaces of plastic, foil, or paper often are
printed with photographs of wood grain patterns and called "oak, maple
or cherry finish". Solid wood veneers are often combined with solid
wood components and can be refinished or repaired. Solid hardwood and
solid wood veneers are best because they stand up well to the
inevitable abuse inflicted by children. Scratches and nicks can be
sanded out and the piece refinished to look as good as new.
BEDROOM WORLD'S "KID'S BEDS CHECKLIST"
-
To ensure that a piece will be "kid-proof" enough to look good for
years, inspect the finish. Make sure it is smooth and uniform, inside
and out.
-
Quality details include drawers with dovetail joints, hardware that
is straight and firmly secured, and doors that swing freely and
smoothly. Look for the same details you would look for in a dining room
set or entertainment center.
-
Inspect for safety. Make sure bookshelves, chest-of-drawer units or
other "vertical" pieces are sturdy and will not easily tip over. Look
for drawer stops that prevent drawers from being completely removed.
And, for younger children, avoid sharp corners.
