To make out in this matter, it is necessary to study in detail all the advantages of such furniture:

Despite the large number of positive qualities, solid wood furniture has its drawbacks.

How significant they are - each consumer decides for himself:

First of all, all models of wooden desks can be roughly divided according to their main purpose:

Typically, wood furniture in this category is massive and has thick countertops. Designs of desks designed for study rooms are as convenient as possible. As a rule, they have additional drawers at hand.

The length of the tabletop of such a solid model can be 2 m, so all the constituent components of such furniture are located at a considerable distance from each other. The basis of cabinet products is most often beech, oak, cherry or walnut.

Office wooden tables have a simpler and more concise design. They can have different shapes and designs, but you will not find bright decorative details or elements that emphasize the status of furniture in them.

In high-quality office furniture, all the necessary parts should be as close to each other as possible, so that in the process of work the user can quickly reach the necessary items without being distracted from the work process. Many office desks have handy drawers that are large in size. They can store important papers, folders and magazines.

In the production of office models, cheaper types of wood are used. The most popular option is the inexpensive but hard-wearing and durable pine. There are also combined tables, in which there are small metal inserts.
