Mahogany Furniture

Built from the hardwood of tropical deciduous trees, mahogany furniture is classic, durable and always in style. Traditionally, we’ve used this reddish-brown material to construct upscale bedroom storage units, such as wardrobes, dressers, chests and cabinets, as well as standard dining furniture sets. Now, however, more contemporary forms such as bar and counter stools are available for your home. Look for pieces with clean, modern lines for mahogany furniture with an on-trend and minimalist look. For added edge, find pieces with a high-gloss lacquer over the natural hues?white and black finishes help highlight metallic brass or silver accents. Because this wood type is resistant to wood rot, mahogany wood sofas, chairs and tables are also sturdy options for the patio or other outdoor area. The green-minded should look for FSC-certified wood furniture to make an environmentally-conscious selection.
