Case Goods is a wide category that generally consists of items that are hard surfaced and for the most part, constructed from wood. Included in this group is a wide array of tables, book cases, consoles, desks, credenzas, side boards, armoires and storage units. As with all furniture and home decor items, it is important to understand the quality and construction of what it is that is being purchased. With case good pieces, construction is critical to both cost and durability. High quality case good pieces will, for the most part, be constructed from hardwoods or fine quality veneers. More economically constructed pieces are often constructed with particle board or plywood structures with laminate or wood veneer on the exterior.
