However, most of todays furnishings are still not designed to be moved around regularly. As anyone who has tried to relocate with traditional furniture can attest to, nearly every move results in some serious damage to ones most valued furnishings, and it is often very expensive to repair any type of significant damage to traditional furniture unless the owner is an experienced craftsman. This is one of the reasons why less families are purchasing furniture these days with the intent to pass the pieces down to their children some day, as most furniture simply is not designed to put up with the frequency with which people move about in the modern era.
Wood and How it is Jointed. Choosing the correct wood is an art in itself, and fashioning an elegant piece of furniture using traditional carpentry joints that is as sturdy and strong as you require it to be is a sign of a master-craftsman. This is the quality only attainable with handmade furniture, no matter where it is crafted. Britain, the USA and Scandinavia are noted for the high quality of their craftsmanship, and France, Germany and Holland have all had their moments in furniture history. Today it is predominantly the first mentioned three that provide most of the higher-end handmade furniture. It is difficult to beat the craftsmanship of American furniture firms such The Custom Shoppe, American Craftsman and Stickley, while Southwood are without doubt the premier producer of reproduction furniture in the USA. There are many Amish furniture retailers that market products that have been handmade by individual craftsmen, using the traditional techniques passed down from father to son. The old jointing techniques are the best because they have been devised over time to provide the strongest and most enduring joint between two or more pieces of wood.
Aside from young people who are trying to find their place in the world, items like cardboard tables and cardboard chairs are also perfect for certain types of households and individuals regardless of their age. For example, cardboard furniture is particularly useful for military families who find themselves being restationed from one corner of the country or the planet once every couple of years. While military service is a great way to see the world and serve your country, this type of lifestyle makes it pretty tough to hold on to traditional wooden furniture for very long. With cardboard furniture, a military family can take some of their favorite pieces of furniture with them every time they move and be assured that their furniture will arrive in their new home in relatively good condition.
The lifestyle of the average artist is also well complimented with items like cardboard tables and cardboard chairs. Whether the artist is a struggle musician or an aspiring painter, it often takes a few years of living on a fairly small income in order to make it as an artist. At the same time, many artists move around very frequently, particularly when they are young. By making a modest investment in some good cardboard furniture, an artist can furnish his or her home and focus on his or her craft. However, the best thing about this type of furniture for most artists is that is typically much easier to find affordable cardboard furniture that is heavily influenced by the primary principles of modern design. With some sleek cardboard furniture, an artist can make his or her home much more inspiring than the beat up furniture that many artists pick up from thrift stores or drag into their homes from the alleyways.
