How long will it take to get my furniture? When we receive your order at the factory, it is then placed into production. Each piece is carefully handcrafted to order. We start with furniture grade pine lumber and cut and mill each piece as if it were going into our own home. We then finish the furniture with a 13 step process to complete the ensemble. This complete process takes about a week and a half.  Depending on the work load of the factory, you can expect your fine, hand crafted furniture, delivered into your home within two weeks of when you place your order.

I have heard that pine is a very soft wood? Pine is a considered from the "soft wood" family.  The type of pine we use, Ponderosa Pine, is one of the harder of the soft wood family. Pine has been used for furniture for as long as furniture has been being made.  You can still see heirlooms in museums built in the shaker era.  In these times of throw-a-way products, you will be very proud to be able to pass down our furniture for generations to come.

Is there any press board or particle board in your furniture? No, absolutely not! We build all of our furniture with the tradition of it being able to stand up to the test of time. Particle board is great for use in things that are not going to be moved or opened very often. Furniture is no place for particle board. We use only 100% furniture grade, Ponderosa Pine. From the drawer construction to the tops of the dressers, it is all solid Ponderosa Pine.

How long can I expect my furniture to last? Because we only use solid wood to construct your piece of furniture, you will have your piece of furniture for as long as you want it. We have been in business since 1982 and we have seen several of our pieces that customers have refinished. After 20 years the furniture still looks brand new. Of course, the finish will wear, do to climatic conditions, but the wood will be here forever...

What type of care does my furniture require? We use a mar-proof lacquer on each piece of furniture. The only thing that you will need to do to care for your solid wood furniture is to treat it with pure lemon oil. You will only need to do this about every month. Just dust the furniture along with your normal house cleaning chores, but use a good lemon oil to dust your furniture. This will keep the deep luster that only solid wood will provide. A good lemon oil can be found at any grocery store. Just don't get one with a stain added.

What type of warrantee comes with my furniture? The Pine Factory Furniture Company guarantees their furniture for as long as you own it.  If anything should happen to it, such as: Cracking,warping,splitting or any workmanship related problem, The Pine Factory will fix or replace it. There is not a better warrantee anywhere. That is how proud The Pine Factory is about its quality.  The Pine Factory has been in business since 1982 and is now well into second generation management. So rest assured, we will be there to stand behind our warrantee.

What colors are available? Currently we have four different colors available: Natural - We finish sand the piece of furniture by hand to assure that when we apply our 10 step lacquer finish, that the natural beauty of the wood will show through. When your piece of furniture has seasoned it will be a golden honey color. White Wash - We apply a light white wash effect to the piece of furniture before applying our 10 step lacquer finish. When your piece of furniture has seasoned it will have the natural color of ponderosa pine before it has been processed other than it will have a sheen to it. Country Oak - We apply a light brown stain to your piece of furniture, hand rubbing the stain to penetrate every grain of wood. This process is only used by masters of craftsmanship. Most of all furniture companies feel this is too time consuming and have resorted to time saving steps, but also sacrificing quality at the same time. Dark Walnut - We apply a dark walnut stain to your piece of furniture and use the same process as above. This color is a deep, dark, rich color. It brings out the grain and character of the solid wood furniture.

What type of drawer glides does my furniture have? There are many drawer glide systems available for manufacturers to use these days. The choice of many manufacturers are what is called a center mount glide. It is very easy to install and very forgiving to the shoddy workmanship that many manufacturers are releasing to the public. We use a European slide, which is a roller on each side of the drawer box. They come with a lifetime warrantee and we have to set the tolerance at less than one sixteenth of an inch. These slides you will only find in very expensive cabinets and very rarely in furniture because of the time consuming nature of the glide.

If down the road I want to refinish my furniture, is that possible? Because we use a solid wood, you will be able to refinish your piece of furniture many times. Now days most manufacturers have gone to a veneer. Which is a very small piece of wood over a core of plywood or "MDF". One of the many drawbacks are that you can not refinish the piece of furniture because the finish process penetrates past the solid wood and into the core. So by the time you have stripped the finish you are into the core of the veneer.

What would be the advantage to buying this furniture over someone else's? If you have not visited one of our showrooms, you need to do that. You will be able to tell right off the QUALITY, WORKMANSHIP AND SUPERIOR MATERIALS used to produce your fine piece of furniture. Other manufacturers will try to show you quality on the surface but it only runs skin deep. When you look at the piece of furniture closer you can see that it will not stand up to the test of time. When you see our furniture you will find quality from the inside out. From the 5 piece drawer construction to our 13 step hand rubbed finish. This coupled with all the answers above gives all of our customers a clear choice when purchasing furniture.
