Robust rubberwood and strength that speaks volumes.
At Wood Trendz, we source pure solid rubberwood for building the furniture. Hence, we can vouch for its quality from end to end. It is grown for latex production, and as the produce declines, rubberwood is then harvested for wood. Rubberwood is a type of hardwood and tends to be denser than softwoods, which fosters strength and load-bearing capacity. Its excellent quality makes it perfect to be used for furniture building.
