Scientific breakthrough or a scam?

Uncategorized No Comments »

Now I really have heard it all.

Following my recent post about solid wood doors, I am told by a client that what was being sold as ’solid wood’ was in fact wood veneer. However, the latest feedback suggests a well known fitted furniture company is offering ‘Man Made Wood’!

There are man made wood substitutes like mdf, and many man made wood effect surfaces like foil, vinyl and melamines but man made wood? This may just be an aberation by an over enthusiastic, or desperate, salesman and I will wait to see the formal announcement of this amazing technological breakthrough.

In the meantime, I would welcome the view of a Trading Standards Officer and urge anybody looking for real wood fitted furniture to treat such claims with scepiticism.
