The Best Wood Furniture Money Will Buy… Don’t Settle For Particle Board

Issue 15.11

We have 29 years experience in buying and selling the finest real wood furniture money can buy.

We have now redesigned our store in Washington and given it a new name-“Country Designed Furniture & Consignment” (formerly Country Comforts), but we have not changed our quality, all our furniture is still made from real wood, even the frames on chairs and sofas.

You can have real wood in your home—not throwaway particle board.  We offer it to you finished and unfinished.

Unlike other stores that offer you cheap sofas and sectional from China with MDF or particle board frames, ours are made in the USA with hardwood frames.

We just came from the Furniture Market in Las Vegas.  It gets harder every year to find real wood made in the USA.  Many manufacturers are closing shop.  They can’t make a living in this economy.  Environmentalists don’t want them to use the wood or to finish it.

I refuse to give up!  I can still find those quality manufacturers and I can offer you their real wood furniture.

This year’s market was an unreal experience.  The highlight, I will never forget, was going to one company that had an entire floor with – you guessed it – all made in China!  Not everything was pressed wood.  Piece by piece all those we checked out were 95% particle board.  The salesman who assisted us said “How can you have a store that only sells real wood?  All furniture comes from China!”  I said, “I promise real wood and that’s all we sell.  All furniture does not come from China.  We still have American made furniture and real wood – I know where to find it.”

While at this market, they had some beautiful sofas.  They looked gorgeous and the prices were low!  “What is the frame made of?” I asked.  “Oh, they are all MDF, particle board.”  We didn’t buy any!

When people start to sit on a sofa, don’t they usually PLOP down?  What do you say to your large guest?  “Please sit down softly?”  Imagine how long that cheap sofa lasts.  Do we need t fill our landfills with throw-away furniture?  Have you seen what happens when a screw comes loose?  Or when your fine particle board gets wet or scratched?  Buy once—buy only real wood!  “We don’t need to throw our money away.  Come in and enjoy the real wood experience at “Country Designed Furniture & Consignment” formerly Country Comforts in Washington, of course.  We will treat you right!  You’ll want to tell your friends about us!
