Value of Quality Oak Furniture

HIGH-END REPRODUCTION FURNITURE. IS IT A GOOD INVESTMENT?

Ok, we're not saying that you are going to sell reproduction furniture after a few years and double your original purchase price. You'd actually find this difficult with an antique piece. What we are saying is that buying high quality reproduction furniture 'wisely' and (we'd hope) 'for life' can pay dividends, in terms of long term value for money as well as really enhancing your quality of life and sense of well being.

I know the latter may sound a bit corny, but when you give it some serious thought, it's actually true...and here's why:

We're working on the assumption that you're looking for furniture, where the quality of materials and manufacture ensures it will last a lifetime...and more. After all, we'd like to think that's one of the reasons you're on our site! So let's say, for example, that it's a refectory dining table, two armchairs, six side chairs and a dresser base. Looking at an average of our typical bespoke and semi-bespoke products, your total purchase comes to around £7,500.

For most of us, a significant outlay!

True. But actually it represents fantastic value for money.

Assuming you can look forward to another forty years of enjoying your furniture. That works out at just under 52p per day! Twenty years costs £1.03 per day. Even just five years costs around £4.10 per day.

Now look at some everyday comparisons:

Purchase a car for £25,000. Enjoy it for just five years and trade it in for £8,500; Cost: £8.88 per day.

Enjoy a reasonably good bottle of wine each day. Enjoy it for a few hours; Cost: £6.00 per day.

Take two holidays at say £4,000 total for the year; Cost: £10.95 per day.

In terms of value for money, it's easy to see that your furniture purchase (even after four years ownership) beats them all by a mile.

Moreover, whilst your furniture is actually improving with age, your car is slowly deteriorating, the wine is gone after a few hours and, once you've arrived back home, the holidays are over!

But there's much more to it than just cold economics and product life expectancy. It's the immense pleasure you'll derive from the ownership of beautifully crafted solid oak furniture. Furniture that actually looks and feels like an original antique, which has been made specifically for you...to your design, size, specification, colour and finish. You really can't get better than that!

Now we're not suggesting for a minute that you sell the car, stop enjoying your wine and give up on holidays, but this illustration does suggest that, if you're looking to purchase oak reproduction furniture, there are a number of compelling reasons to invest in the highest quality product. In fact, the same reasons for investing in similar quality pieces of art and accessories as well.

Early Oak Reproductions' products will more than fulfil your expectations of functionality, value and visual enjoyment, both today and far into the future.
