1. Durability Difference Between Beech Wood And Rubber Wood For Restaurant
Chairs
Durability is the ability of any product or thing to
survive for longer period of time and not to wear out
quickly. When we think of buying wooden chairs for
restaurants, we need to get serious on the durability
factor. These days, there are lots of cheap restaurant
chairs being influx into the market. Their construction
and style are similar; however, the quality of raw
material is different. Historically, European Beech
Wood is the industry standard and has been for the
past 30 years. Beech wood offers numerous benefits
for wood workers: it’s a heavier and dense wood, it’s
easier to work with and it’s color and stain are
relatively consistent. Only in the recent few years, rubber wood has made its way into
the commercial market. Primarily used in economical home furniture, rubber wood has
become increasingly common in the commercial furniture industry because of its lower
pricing.
However, rubber wood restaurant chairs fall apart. This is not baloney. Once taken out
of its native sub-tropical environment and exported to the US, the wood expands and
contracts because of its innate absorption properties, thereby causing the frame to swell
and contract and eventually break. Also, much like pine, rubber wood likes to move
quite a bit. By moving, it refers to the way the wood likes to bend and twist. Chairs joints
are susceptible to this problem.
The way you can tell the difference between rubber wood and beech wood is by its
wood grain. Rubber wood has a complete absence of any grain whereas beech wood
will have some wood grain. Rubber wood is not a very clear color wood and attempts to
color it will result in some yellowish tints. Most of the time you will see rubber wood in
some dark color that can mask the coloring. Lastly, wood rubber is lighter than beech
wood. On a standard chair, it is about 2 lbs lighter. When you knock on wood, it sounds
like your knocking on rubber.
If you are going into the furniture market, you need to give your special attention on the
durability factor and should not forget to the furniture seller about the about the
materials used to make the chair before purchasing. It is nothing but the material used
in making furniture that always matters the most.
