Hardwoods such as teak, oak, ash and walnut are ideal for furniture construction. They are durable, stable and offer a high-quality look. Pine or spruce can also be used for less stressed furniture if they are treated accordingly.

Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth, do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
Care: Apply wood oil or wax regularly to protect the surface.
Protection: Avoid direct sunlight and moisture.

Teak is particularly suitable as it is naturally water-repellent and resistant to moisture. Other hardwoods such as oak can also be used if they are well treated.

Solid wood: Consists of continuous wood, is durable, stable and can be sanded several times.
Veneer: A thin layer of wood that is applied to carrier materials such as MDF or chipboard. It is less expensive but less robust.

FSC-certified wood comes from responsibly managed forests. It ensures that no illegal logging takes place, biodiversity is protected and social standards for workers are adhered to.
