Woodcase

Woodcase refers to a type of furniture construction where the primary structural material is wood. This can encompass a wide range of items, from cabinets and drawers to entire furniture pieces like beds, tables, and chairs. The term "woodcase" often implies a solid wood construction, as opposed to particleboard or MDF, although it can sometimes be used more broadly to include composite wood materials. The specific type of wood used, such as oak, pine, maple, or cherry, significantly impacts the appearance, durability, and cost of the furniture. Woodcase furniture can be finished in various ways, including staining, painting, or varnishing, to enhance its natural beauty or provide protection. The construction methods employed also vary, from traditional joinery techniques like dovetails and mortise and tenon to more modern methods. This style of construction is valued for its aesthetic appeal, strength, and longevity. It is a common choice for both functional and decorative furniture across various design styles.
