Earlier furniture used to be all about durability, getting a thing which lasts long and even the upcoming generations could use them. Then furniture became more about style than substance as people used to go for things which look different rather than the ones which can last long. They didn’t mind spending extra money on items they knew weren’t going to be used for that long. However, in the present times, users are thinking of getting a combination of both class and sturdiness and the answer to that is wooden furnishings. Although these have been in use for quite some time now, the latest wooden furniture showroom boasts of having some of the most stylized and durable items ever seen.
When it comes to living room or bedroom furniture, the things which the user looks forward to are quite few and there are very few surprises there – a bed, a table, chairs, dresser, wardrobe, rack, decorative items or a birdcage. Apart from this there isn’t much that the user could add to his or her house. However, new wooden furniture showrooms (or even the older ones) have started bringing in a new range of items that one could choose from. Even in the older furnishings, the things have changed by either the change in the wooden quality or by enhancing their designs.
As for the wooden quality, the modern day user gets to choose between sheesham, rosewood, teak, oak, mahogany and walnut woods for their furniture. One can also go in for sheesham wood furniture coupled with a mahogany stain as it does bring in a likeable change from the earthy color represented by the other wooden items (and also ease of availability considering the aforementioned wooden options aren’t predominantly available in India). Now on that wood, a lot of designs and carvings have been tried. Some even play with the design of the traditional items like dressers, wardrobes and beds to bring in the originality factor. This ensures that the user is getting a durable item for the house but the style quotient is not compromised.
An offline or online wooden furniture showroom would keep a range of these items for the user to browse and choose from. Pottery barn is a popular example of a chain of stores in the United States which sell varied number of furnishings to their consumers. They bring in even more items such as an apothecary table, birdcages, space separator, console table, desks and a lot more. These items have started travelling international waters and one can easily purchase them in the new showrooms.
When it comes to the wooden furniture showroom, the users also get to select whole bedroom or living room sets at discounted rates which make it easier for them to choose a whole room as opposed to going for one item at a time. Another good thing about this is that they already get everything matched as opposed to running around looking for a furnishing that fits their other bedroom or living room furniture. Just go to one of these places, over the internet or offline and take a look at what all things can be chosen to make the living room classy.

I joined Lebus in 1974 as a drveir working from their factory in forest road Walthamstow. The lorries operated under the Merchandise Transport name and were all TK Bedfords except for one D series Ford. Most of the drveirs lived in the areas that they delivered in although I lived in Kent and delivered in South Wales. To get me home on a Friday, I would pick up a lorry loaded for me to deliver around South London on a Saturday morning, then back to London for a welsh load on Monday. The majority of our deliveries were to private households on behalf of mail order companies. There were a few of the old Tottenham Hale staff still working for Lebus then. Peter Manton, Johnney Noble and Ron Chazalon organising the drveirs. In the late 1980 s Lebus ran into financial trouble and sold out to PMA owned by Malcolm Meredith. He soon closed the Walthamstow works and transferred production to a factory he owned in Halifax making Ironing boards. Everyone was made redundent except for about eight drveirs who carried on loading out of Halifax. We were made redundant in march 1981 and a few months later the PMA group collapsed. I retired last year after 45 years on the road but without a doubt my seven years at Lebus were the best. I get a Lebus pension of a370 per month less a314 tax. Just as well I have a collection of small pensions from a lot of different employers.
