Choosing a kitchen set, each of us tries to take into account such indicators as operational reliability, durability of use, functionality and beauty. In this case, solid wood kitchen sets are the best option.
I would like to add that wood brings comfort and security, luxury and naturalness to the atmosphere of the house. And even modern adherents of materials such as glass, metal and plastic do not remain indifferent when it comes to wooden furniture.
Wooden kitchen set
In addition, modern cutting-edge technologies for wood processing have created conditions under which the most daring design decisions can be translated into reality today. And a wide selection of wood (shades and textures), coupled with the latest technology, allow you to create kitchen sets made of wood that can be classified as "masterpieces of art".
But all this is possible only if high-quality wood was used for the production. And its main indicator is humidity, the lower this indicator, the better. That is, the driest wood is selected.
In addition, various types of impregnations are used in production. For example:
- Antiseptic solutions ensure that wooden kitchen units are never affected by changes in temperature and humidity. And accordingly, the formation of colonies of microorganisms is nonsense.
- Protective varnishes, which are applied in several layers. This is a guarantee against mechanical stress. Such kitchens will serve faithfully for more than a dozen years, and at the same time will not lose their presentable appearance.

Oak
Wood species for kitchen furniture
Currently, manufacturers offer a fairly large assortment of kitchen sets made of various types of wood. Here are both budget options available to the mass consumer, and exotic breeds that are delivered to the domestic market from distant countries, and our domestic wood species, which are distinguished by high strength and natural beauty.
Oak set
When the conversation comes to oak furniture, thoughts about the strength and nobility of this tree immediately come to mind. The way it is. Such furniture will delight and serve more than one generation of the family. For many years, the oak has not changed, either its qualities or its appearance.
Bog oak has always been especially popular. The price of such furniture was not available to everyone, but whoever bought it was considered a lucky and wealthy person. This is how a kitchen set made of natural wood became an image component of a person's assessment, his status in this society.
Attention! During operation, kitchen furniture made of bog oak does not decay. And this is in the kitchen, which is considered an aggressive room in terms of the impact on all objects of temperature changes in humidity.

Birch furniture
Birch has always been considered a furniture tree. She brings some lightness and lightness to the house. The elements made from it are distinguished by their originality and uniqueness.
Many of us are used to it, considering it the cheapest option. But cheapness doesn't mean poor quality. It's just the availability of this material, and, accordingly, the low cost of the procurement and processing processes.
Beech set
Beech, like oak, has a high strength, so this furniture will serve you for decades. True, this type of wood has a peculiar natural color, which will give the interior of the room some kind of softness. A properly selected toning will help to fit it into any interior, regardless of the style direction.
Beech
Ash furniture
It may seem to many that ash is a tree, so to speak, ordinary. Furniture from it turns out, as it were, not original. But this is just the speculation of ordinary people.
I would like to note that ash is not inferior in strength to either oak or beech. Its soft pink color creates coziness inside the room, it warms the atmosphere.
And this is a small list from the category "natural wood kitchen sets". You can also add wood from:
- Cherries;
- Alder;
- Pines;
- Cherries;
- Etc.
The most important thing is the quality of the source material. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the type of wood used. The higher it is, the more expensive the manufactured headset is.

Do-it-yourself headset assembly
Standard kitchen sets do not always fit in their sizes and shapes into our kitchens in city apartments. Therefore, such a service as a kitchen to order is very much in demand today.
- Firstly, it is possible to properly plan the room itself.
- Secondly, precisely adjust the furniture to the size of the room.
- Third, do not limit yourself to fantasy. Shape, color, finish, constructiveness and so on - all at your complete discretion.
- The ability to assemble a kitchen set with your own hands from wood, without involving craftsmen from the outside. And this is already saving.
How does it all start? With the creation of a sketch, on which you must accurately mark the dimensions of all elements of the furniture. If your imagination is not very good, then contact the professionals who will not only create a sketch, but also recommend what to use in the headset (shelves, cabinets, pencil cases, etc.).
This sketch must be attached to an order that you place in a furniture manufacturing facility. Pay the required amount and wait for your disassembled headset to arrive at your apartment. It only remains to assemble and install it. Assembly instructions are usually included, so it won't be difficult to do this.
The main thing is attention and accuracy. Do not rush, prepare all the necessary tools and start the assembly process.
