Origin of Pine Bedroom Furniture
The bed was one of the earliest part of the furniture. He was originally nothing more than piles of straw or leaves laid on the floor. Later in the Stone Age, this pile of straw placed on a stone shelf to get it off the ground and reduce drafts. Today, the beds are made of various materials – wood cherry, pine, beech, oak, steel, wicker, MDF, etc. Today, the bed is just one part of a package of all the pine bedroom furniture.

Made of real wood furniture is very expensive. This is true even beech, which was originally a cheap soft wood in the 1600s. This also applies to the cherry and pine wood in the 1800s. Modern pine bedroom furniture is made from one of the three forests are considered relatively high-end today.

discount furniture today is made of plywood or medium density fibreboard (MDF). Plywood is made from thin sheets of wood glued together with cheap low quality of their grain at right angles to each other. This sandwich “” provides surprising strength to what otherwise would be too weak to wood used for furniture. Fiberboard is slightly different. Meanwhile, also made of cheap wood, this is the first timber is processed into a powder. Then the powder was compressed together with plastic (resin) under high pressure and temperature.

Up-, mid-1600s in the West furniture made from hardwoods like oak. Oak widely available at the time, and oak is hardy against the elements and make very sturdy furniture. Oak furniture for the masses are crude and rude, while for the nobleman’s well made and finely finished.

Unfortunately, the oak becomes overlogged and others such as beech forests should be used. Old furniture makers may not be happy. This change roughly coincided with the growth of the middle class. Using such simple beech wood working software allows producers to increase their productivity. They make their beds more money by selling less expensive for the middle class than they sell one expensive bed for their feudal lord.

Today, even pine bedroom furniture made of softwoods like pine or beech is rather expensive. Unless, of course, you are willing to buy them used in garage sales or on eBay. If the thought of sleeping in bed with an unknown history makes you feel goose bumps, you can try to wait for the end of season sale. You often can find some pretty good discounts.

But why buy a bed and expensive wood cabinets? Because they last so much longer than those made of plywood or MDF. Solid wood can last for decades, even softwoods. Hardwoods such as oak can easily survive a hundred years with only minimal maintenance. Unfortunately, oak or teak bed is very expensive and some sort of status symbol today.

As you can see, the bed has come a long way from pre-historic era. From a pile of hay on the floor, it becomes a pile of straw on a stone shelf. Then humans learned how to make wooden furniture, and we had beds and cupboards, oak and pine and beech, and today there are metal, plywood and MDF pine bedroom furniture for the bedroom. By C. Loh
