Questions About Expensive Retro Furniture
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Bocote is the most expensive wood for furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Patio furniture can be more expensive than other types of furniture because it's designed and crafted to withstand harsher conditions. The materials designers use to make outdoor furniture—woods, synthetics, metals and durable fabrics—are more expensive to source than other types of materials.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Furniture is generally an asset rather than an expense. When a business purchases furniture, it can continue to use it over the long term, so it fits the definition of an asset. If you're inquiring about furniture's classification for tax purposes, consult a knowledgeable tax professional for specific guidance. Shop a large collection of antique, vintage and contemporary furniture on 1stDibs.
