Thus, the fittings produced in industries are made of low quality manufactured timber that is not created to last. Fittings made from solid timber are very strong and durable that can be passed down to generations still in perfect condition.

Using handcrafted furnishes made from solid timber proves cheaper in the long run than using manufactured furnishes that are cheap. This rotates around durability where the cost of replacing furnishes from time to time ends up being costlier than the cost of buying handcrafted ones. Thus, it is recommendable to use handcrafted solid timber fittings because they are cheap to maintain and are not easily replaced because of wearing off.

Handcrafted furnishings can be customized to fit into client's preference and tastes. This is an important benefit because a client gets what they want and they do not worry about finding the same type of furnishings elsewhere as they are unique. Industrially manufactured furnishings are always the same and there is a high probability of finding the same type elsewhere only differentiated by color or pattern.

The fact that they are made to last, they reduce instances of pilling up cheap stuff that has already worn out to peoples' landfill, unlike manufactured fittings. When solid timber furnishings wear out, timber used in making them can be recycled to serve other purposes but manufactured furnishings are a waste when they wear out and cannot be reused again.
