Most people thought of
Unfinished Furniture as the less expensive or "cheap" solution when it
came to furniture. The shift from domestic manufacturing to imports has
definitely caused a shift in that perception. The low cost imports, much
of which you could classify as disposable furniture, are often priced up
to 50% less than unfinished pieces.
The big difference is the
unfinished piece was made in the USA, made of solid wood, and built to
last a lifetime. So definitely keep unfinished furniture in mind if you
are looking for a well made piece you plan on having for many years to
come.
