Inexpensive furniture and panelling appear to be a cost-effective solution to deck out your home. Nonetheless, be aware that many of these pieces are constructed from particle board, plywood, fibreglass, fibre board or foams, produced from undesirable compounds, capable of emitting dangerous gases and fumes into the air for many years. Ideally, purchase solid, natural, wooden items; they really are worth the extra expense and last a lifetime. A wealth of high quality wooden or recycled timber commodities can be sourced inexpensively from local charity shops, car boot sales and online.
