Post Pros and Cons of Solid Wood Office Furniture?
The advantages of solid wood office furniture are certainly many: the pieces will look great, provide strong support and last a very long time. Since solid wood office furniture is often either handmade or at the very least, made with great care, it is likely that the pieces being placed in the office will be strong, well-made, and durable enough to deal with the day to day rigors of office life. Such durability comes at a cost, however, both in terms of money and in weight. Solid wood office furniture is likely to be much heavier than composite materials, such as plastics, particle board, or aluminum. This may put a damper on an office rearrangement, and even make initial installation of such pieces difficult.

Further, solid wood office furniture is likely to be more expensive than other cheaper, lighter materials. Since much of the wood furniture is hand-made, the cost for such pieces goes up in relation to the production cost. The upswing to this reality is that the solid wood furniture is a worthwhile investment: these heavier, more durable pieces will last a long time, making the cost a bit more bearable. For some office spaces, lighter, cheaper materials may be a better option to cut down on costs. One must bear in mind, however, that materials such as particle board can chip and break easily, meaning the furniture will not last as long as the solid wood office furniture.
