Reclaimed Wood Furniture - Give Wood a Second Life

Reclaimed wood is the wood that has served a particular form, and is being recycled for use in a different, new form. In comparison to the new wood, it’s more durable, strong, and stable, and also contributes to “green building.” Also called reclaimed lumber, the texture and appearance of reclaimed wood is unique and it can be used again to make furniture which is more durable and reliable than furniture made of new wood. This kind of wood is mainly procured from old barns, boxes, factories, torn down buildings, and more.
By giving wood a second life, one does not compromise on personal choice, quality, or design. The manufactures of eco friendly, reclaimed wood furniture offer great designs and a great number of options and that too at a reasonable price. Today, there are many companies that are making furniture by using wood procured from barns, factories, and more. But, one needs to be careful at the time of buying, and not get duped. There are many fake manufacturers that claim to offer recycled wood furniture, but are actually selling furniture made of new, green wood.

One can ask friends, colleagues, or relatives about the well-known manufacturers that use Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified reclaimed wood. Business directory can help in finding out about these manufacturers, and also one can search online. The antiqueness of the reclaimed lumber give the furniture a fashionable vintage look, and the owner of this kind of furniture, can claim that he has done something for the environment.
