The ambience of any space depends a lot on the furniture, whether it is an office, restaurant or home. Perfectly crafted beds, sofas, wooden cabinets, sleek benches or even modular kitchens can enhance the aura of any space. But, be it any kind of furniture, the quality and type of wood can make a huge difference to not just the looks but the durability of the furniture. The most popular choices of raw material for furniture are solid wood timber and block board. While solid wood timber is obtained from cutting logs of wood from trees, block boards are engineered by placing uniform strips of wood in adjacent columns which are then sandwiched between thick veneers of hardwood on both sides. These are then glued together under heat and pressure to form block board.
