Solid wood dining tables and chairs can enhance the dining experience and add a touch of natural elegance to your dining area. However, with a wide variety of options on the market, how can you choose the right ones and properly maintain them to ensure durability and beauty? Here are some practical tips from Furniture China Expo.

I. Tips for Selecting Solid Wood Dining Tables and Chairs

Appearance: Genuine solid wood furniture may have slightly imperfect textures, which is a characteristic of natural wood. In contrast, furniture made from engineered wood often has clearer and more perfect textures but lacks the natural feel.

Smell: Solid wood furniture has a natural, faint woody scent. In contrast, products made from engineered wood may have a strong chemical odor and may even have excessive formaldehyde levels.

Price: Typically, lower-priced "solid wood" dining tables and chairs may not be made from real solid wood. Genuine solid wood furniture has higher production costs and will be reasonably priced.

II. Maintenance of Solid Wood Dining Tables and Chairs

Placement: Avoid placing solid wood furniture in direct sunlight or in areas with strong air currents, such as near windows or vents. In winter, keep it away from radiators, and in summer, pay attention to indoor humidity to prevent wood from absorbing moisture and expanding.

Cleaning and Maintenance: Regularly wipe the surface with a clean, soft cloth to remove dust. Avoid using chemical brighteners, which can damage the finish. Keeping the furniture surface clean helps extend its lifespan.

III. Styles of Solid Wood Dining Tables and Chairs

Light Wood Color: Dining tables and chairs made from materials like oak or ash have a light color and give a comfortable and elegant feel. These are relatively affordable and suitable for younger households.

Medium Wood Color: For example, cherry wood dining tables and chairs have a moderate color and a simple yet sophisticated texture, suitable for spaces that pursue a minimalist style and want to create a stable atmosphere.

Dark Wood Color: Dining tables and chairs with a dark wood color, such as those made from walnut, create a stable and dignified dining atmosphere, suitable for more mature design styles. Combined with a modern minimalist design, they can bring a sense of modernity and high-end quality without appearing bulky.
