The purpose of this guide is for you to know the quality and craftsmanship of a Pre Owned piece of Furniture.
First we look at the construction of the piece of furniture is it solid wood construction or is it veneered. Solid wood construction is the best but not always a true guide. Some of the finest furniture makers use veneers on the drawer and door fronts . The most important factor is that the wood beneath the veener is solid and made of the same wood that the rest of the piece is made of. The drawer construction is it dovetailed, this is very important as all of the leading furniture makers use this in there construction. Ask what the drawers are constructed of preferably a hardwood such as oak, cherry or mahogany. The drawers are must likely the most used part of the piece of furniture and a hardwood interior will take the everyday use.
Alot of companies are known for these things in there construction but there are alot of furniture makers who are not as known but still share in these qualities.
