Is it worth buying solid wood furniture?

In addition to being visually appealing due to its natural color and grain patterns, solid wood is a durable material that resists wear and tear. However, whether or not it’s worth investing in solid wood furniture is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Find wood furniture and other furniture on 1stDibs.
