Furniture - Natural Material or Synthetic?

Furniture constructed with natural (found in nature) materials, such as those pieces you can find at Milk that are made from steel, wood, wrought iron/iron wire, leather, ceramic and pressed newsprint, can lend themselves to a certain beauty and durability.

They may also increase in value over time. Wood, for instance, can hold up extraordinarily well to the daily wear and tear of use as a functional piece of furniture.

The original construction and design of the piece must be good, and you must take very good care of your piece with regular cleaning and maintenance.

It's also important to note that this value, and the elegance and grace you have added to your home by purchasing a piece of furniture made with natural material, may also last longer than your lifetime.

Just because a piece of furniture is constructed with synthetic (not made in nature) materials, does not however make it inherently bad. These pieces can exhibit versatility, strength, lightness and durability.

Depending on design, designer and materials used, furniture constructed using synthetic materials may also increase in value over time.
