There are several reasons to consider unfinished oak furniture the next time you go shopping for that special addition to your home. It is often easier to match a particular paint or stain from your local supplier then it is to match a piece finished at the factory to your existing furnishings. Frequently, the piece will appear much different in the gallery showroom then it does in your living room.

A variety of high quality paints and stains are available to those with even a cursory knowledge of applying these products. They are much more forgiving then the finishes of yesterday, allowing for professional results from even the most inexperienced of would-be wood smiths.

Old heavy stains that used to require a great deal of sanding between coats that took days to dry, have been replaced with finishes that require little or no sanding and dry in just a few hours. Not only do these new stains cut down on the amount of labor, they also greatly reduce the time required to begin enjoying your fresh acquisition.

Paints are also much easier to use. Special thinners in today’s paints allow for fewer coats and greatly reduce the dreaded brush marks experienced all too often in times past. A wide variety of water based colors also make for easy clean up once the job is completed.

Rothman furniture, with seven locations in the greater St. Louis area, offers a wide variety of unfinished oak furniture to suit almost any taste or budget.

There is a great sense of pride when showing off furnishings that you finished yourself. So do not allow the process to intimidate you. It is really quite simple and one of the easiest ways to create a truly unique piece that you will treasure for years to come. Or even generations to come.
