Unfinished Furniture: A Great Way to Get Creative

By Dave Johnson

How about buying unfinished furniture for your home? Many would shrug and say "no". Looks like a pretty scary situation but it is not so in reality. The term "unfinished furniture" could sound vague but when you look into the advantages of buying one without compromising on quality, you will agree with me.

When people think of unfinished furniture they think about flat packed furniture with no instructions and a cheap look. This is not true. What it really is is a piece of furniture that simply needs to be stained or painted.

By buying one, you would save on lots of money on your furniture all the while still getting a good quality piece of furniture that won't let you down. You can buy just about any style or type of furniture including unfinished bedroom furniture, tables, dressers, chairs, cabinets etc. and paint or stain them and use proper sealers to seal them.

When you buy unfinished furniture, you have many advantages by your side. Let us examine them:

- Because the furniture is made from real solid wood, it means that the quality is better than that of a chip board piece. It is common for manufacturers to try and trick you by putting a wood veneer on the chip board and sell the furniture as solid but its not. Chip board is extremely cheap but is also easily damaged and prone to water retention. Because of this the furniture would not last more than a few years. With a solid piece of furniture (which is more often than not what unfinished furniture is) you know that you are getting s quality item and not a rip off. Chip board furniture is cheaper than solid wood furniture but is not good value for money if you have to replace it every few years.

- The cost of unfinished furniture compared to finished furniture is very good. They cost much less unfinished and can be a real deciding factor when buying some furniture. The high quality of unfinished means that you are getting real good value for money. You could pay a lot more for a finished piece when all you need to do is buy an unfinished piece and give it a lick of paint yourself.

- This furniture will make your creative side come alive! Some people didn't even know that they had a creative side until they have bought their first piece of furniture. By finishing it yourself you can come up with a unique style and something that will fit into your room perfectly. All you need to do is give it a bit of a stain or paint.

- You have the option to decorate your unfinished piece of furniture to add to your home decor such that it will match your present rooms perfectly. Get creative and use your imagination while you do your project.

- Even if you are not an expert and do not possess DIY skills, it is still good to buy one as it is pretty easy to do painting or staining. Do a little practice on a sample board before you go ahead to finish your piece of unfinished furniture. There are several sources on the internet which could help you in this regard.

So why not check some unfinished furniture today and see what you and your creative side can accomplish. You never know what sort of furniture you could have and who knows, you could even go on to make some stunning furniture.
