Why Reclaimed Furniture Is a Smart Long-Term Investment

Reclaimed furniture offers far more than immediate beauty—it represents lasting value. At Stratum Marquetry, we believe reclaimed materials are a better long-term investment than mass-produced alternatives for several reasons:

- Superior Durability: Reclaimed wood is denser, stronger, and more stable than new timber, with proven resistance to warping and wear. 
- Unique Character: Each piece carries a history, with knots and grain patterns that make it one of a kind. 
- Sustainability: Using reclaimed materials reduces demand for new timber, lowers carbon footprint, and prevents waste from entering landfill. 
- Heirloom Quality: With proper care, reclaimed furniture can last generations, holding both structural integrity and sentimental value. 
- Long-Term Savings: Because it lasts longer than mass-produced alternatives, reclaimed furniture reduces replacement costs over time. 

Every Stratum Marquetry piece is backed by our lifetime guarantee, ensuring it remains a valued part of your home or business for decades to come.
