Rustic Solid Oak Vs Corona Mexican Pine Furniture

There has been much debating lately, amongst us Furniture folk over which is better - Rustic Solid Oak Vs Corona Mexican Pine Furniture. Now, some of the most basic differences are that Pine is soft wood and oak is a solid wood. What this means in terms of furniture really comes down to wear and tear. If you had 2 exact units, but one is oak and the other is pine, and have them both in the same area over a 10 year period, taking the same abuse from the kids, or pets - over that 10 year course, the solid oak furniture will be in much better condition than its pine counterpart.

Now, thats not the number 1 reason to invest in solid oak furniture over Corona Mexican Pine Furniture, because as we all know, people like to buy furniture that is reflective of the room it will be going in, so some customers may prefer to the appearance of Corona Mexican Pine, which is fine, but if thats the case you can get some furniture that is made from solid oak, but has a very close resemblance to corona mexican pine furniture, in terms of appearance. Infact I would even go as far to say that although the 2 woods look similar, oak is natural, whereas Corona Mexican Pine furniture is manufactured to have its appearance. Finally lets talk about (probably) the number 1 issue when it comes to buying furniture, and that is cost. Pine is not always the cheapest option, and often the reason oak could be more expensive is generally down to quality and life expectancy. The simple fact is Oak lasts so much longer than pine, and that is something you should remember when buying new furniture.
