Why All Boston Mills Products Are Handmade

Boston Mills is known for offering some of the most exclusive hand-crafted furniture in the industry.  We work with skilled artisans who have many years of experience in crafting furniture from solid rosewood and make every piece to exacting specifications. However, why do we go through the painstaking process of creating every piece of furniture by hand when there are specialized machines that can do the work in less than half the time?

While machines might be faster, they do not understand quality and passion. Two things that our master craftsmen understand and instill into every piece they create. Let us take a look at why all Boston Mills products are handmade and what that means_

Benefits Of Handmade Furniture

Durability- handmade furniture is built to withstand years of wear and tear while still looking as good as the day it was delivered. Most handmade furniture is constructed from hardwoods and professionally sealed which resists scratches, moisture, stains, and everyday wear. Mass-produced furniture, on the other hand, uses manufactured woods which are not as durable.

Beauty- handmade wood furniture is far more beautiful than manufactured furniture, even more so at Boston Mills because our craftsmen bring out the natural beauty of every piece of wood they use.

Customizable- handmade furniture is customizable including the size, choice of wood, finish, and fabrics. Mass produced furniture comes in one style and maybe a couple of different finishes.

Renewability- the wood used to make our handmade furniture comes from renewable resources that include many top locally harvested hardwood trees. When only mature trees are cut down, hardwood trees replenish quick, and that contributes to the health of the environment.

Environmentally Friendly- most manufactured wood products on the market today contain fillers and preservatives, including formaldehyde. These are bad for the environment. Boston Mills uses stains that are low in VOCs and source most of the supplies locally.

Holds Its Value- handmade hardwood furniture might cost more initially, but it will hold its value much longer than any manufactured furniture will. Handmade furniture is an investment in your home, and it will last for generations. It is also restorable, so when it does begin to show signs of wear, it can be brought back to its original beauty and luster.
