We just got a new desk the other day. No, I wouldn’t exactly call it modern office furniture, but it is pretty nice. Where we are going to put it is beyond me…but hubby wanted it. It got me to thinking; however, about the materials furniture is made of these days. For that matter…HOUSES too! The chipboard and plywood construction seems to be taking over with it becoming more and more difficult to find furniture made of SOLID wood. Are you finding this too? Not only is plywood an inferior product, but it actually contains chemicals that are harmful to human health.
