Description
You invested in your living room furniture, so don’t skimp out on the end tables. If you go with a low-quality, screw-together piece made from pressed board, you’ll be replacing it in a few years. Instead, invest in heirloom quality furniture from Carriage House Furnishings. Nestled in the heart of Amish country in Lancaster, PA, each of our pieces is hand-crafted by the Amish from natural pure wood and is built to last. This end table with drawer is no exception– you’ll require guests to use coasters! It measures 22d x 20w x 23h and is made from Pine with a Maple top. Shown here in Black and Special Walnut Finish.
If you’re new to purchasing wood furniture, deciding what to buy can be a daunting challenge. There are so many types of woods and finishes that it may not be clear what type of wood you’re buying. Pine is often used to make furniture, including cabinets and bedroom sets. It can be finished or painted in many different colors
What is Pine?
Solid woods are classified as either hardwoods or softwoods, but the description is based on the tree’s foliage rather than the strength of the wood.
Hardwood trees lose their leaves seasonally. Softwood trees maintain their leaves year-round. Pine is a softwood that’s grown and used worldwide. It is light in color with a prominent grain and has knots that are usually much darker than the rest of the wood. Many woodworkers favor pine because it is easier to work with than hardwoods.
Why Consider Pine?
Pine furniture is less expensive than many other wood pieces. It can be painted, stained or covered with a clear coat of varnish. The wood’s noticeable grain and knots give each piece a unique look. Pine furniture blends well with other woods, allowing the buyer to mix and match pieces. Pine furniture adds coziness to a room, and the wood is ideal for rustic and country decor. On some pieces the woodworking shops will add maple tops to increase the durability of the working surface. A practical application would be coffee tables , kitchen island, buffets and servers.
