Poplar Wood Furniture: Why Poplar? 

All the items in the Simply Yours collection are built from sustainable Poplar wood, a wood that grows all throughout the United States in abundance. Poplar is an exceptional choice for high quality and sustainable furniture, as the full growth cycle of Poplar is only 10-12 years, compared to nearly 75 years for an oak tree to reach full growth ( Wow!) Poplar tress can grow up to 5 feet in a single year, and can be replanted quickly to keep up with demand, taking pressure of old growth forests that need time to replenish.  Because of the faster growing cycle, poplar wood is more affordable than most other woods typically used for furniture, making it extremely friendly for your wallet and the environment. 

Classic Designs You Know and Want. 

The furniture in the Simply Yours Collection feature styles that are known and loved. Farmhouse, Shaker, Mission, and Rustic are all available from the Simply Yours Collection, giving you a variety of choices for your home. Pairing classic styles with the sustainability of poplar wood makes the Simply Yours Collection unique, sustainable and affordable. When our expert woodworkers created the Simply Yours Collection they were thinking " This furniture is for you in everyway, from design to commitment to you and your environment!" 

Qualities of Pine Furniture

Pine wood is a soft, lightweight, stable wood. It can be carved and takes well to machine and hand tools. It does dent and scratch easier than hardwoods, but this is often what gives pine furniture its character. It is also a very economical, sturdy wood. Pine furniture blends well with other woods making it easy to mix and match with other wood furniture. Pine is durable and holds its shape exceptionally well. 

Look of Pine Furniture

Pine wood is whitish or pale yellow and has a straight grain with a fine, uniform texture. It is lightweight and may have more knotholes than other woods. Pine takes both stains and paints well and is often used for painted furniture. It is also a great candidate for distressing. Pine furniture may develop a yellowish resin which may bleed through lighter finishes. This is a natural trait of pine that contributes to its unique character.

Pine has been traditionally used for country, cottage, and shabby-chic style furniture with distressed finishes. In more recent years pine has started to be used to make contemporary style furniture, such as mid-century modern and Scandinavian designs. It has also become the choice for solid wood furniture at trendy furniture stores because it is more economical.
