1 Answer
Is oak a good wood for furniture?
Yes, oak wood is good for furniture. Due to its density, oak furniture is sturdy and can stand the test of time. The wood is also fairly resistant to rot, mold and mildew, especially when given a protective finish. As a result, it can even be used to make outdoor furniture. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of wood furniture.
