Much of today’s furniture is not solid wood but instead is made up of materials such as particleboard, fiberboard, and other processed woods. Furniture made with “pretend wood” is pre-finished in order to hide craftsmanship and imperfections. Real Wood is shock resistant and very durable, generally outlasting most all synthetic materials and scratches & nicks are easily touched up. Whitewood Ready to Finish is a proud certified member of the Unfinished Furniture Association’s Real Wood Furniture Finished Your Way program. You can guarantee that you are buying, Real Wood Furniture.
