Around our life there are many materials used to make furniture in the family such as plastic, aluminum, wood, grass,... However, the use of wood furniture is a trend more popular because of its natural beauty but still luxurious.
I live in a fairly densely populated city, air pollution is inevitable. Besides, the climate is quite humid here so I worry about how to use wooden utensils and effectively extend their use?

I have heard about up cycling and it a wonderful thing to do. Imagine an armchair in a poor condition then the cover on it could be replaced with a different material. A book case could be re-painted. I heard that a family had a dinner table that they didn't want. They wished to buy a coffee table. Their friend said cut the legs of the dinner table to half way and then make it into a coffee table. It worked perfectly and saved the family money. Wood can be rubbed down with sand paper and then varnished.
