Business owners may sometimes overlook the importance of office furniture. However, if your office space lacks adequate furniture, you will not only be uncomfortable but also be unable to get your work done. That is why it is important to get quality
office furniture that can withstand the rigors of everyday use. For your office furniture needs, talk to an office furniture manufacturer.

Has anyone used poplar boards for anything? Is it stronger

Is it as hard as red oak?
Any comments appreciated.

Knowledge may be wonderful but there is bliss in ignorance.

I built 24 drawer boxes with poplar two years ago for my kitchen. I am still pleased with the result. I put stained oak drawer fronts on them, so the poplar is really more utility than appearance for my application.

Isn't "white wood", poplar? It's harder than pine and more stable, I
think. It'll take stain lot better (what won't). I think it's
infinitely better than pine but I think red oak would be better, price
not a consideration. Poplar isn't a pretty wood, IMO. I wouldn't use
it where it would be seen. Red oak would be a better choice there, but
it looks a little 80's. Who knows, the 20's may be the new '80s.

I've built more than a few drawer boxes from poplar. They
look nice and hold up very well. SWMBO loves the big ones
I put in the base cabinets for the pots, pans and plastic storage
containers. We're getting to old to crawl around on the floor.

These are 2 that I made for my daughter's little kitchen. I found
some spare cabinet doors in the basement and used them as
drawers fronts. They don't match the original drawers fronts,
but they match the cabinets doors, just turned sideways. The
cabinets have been discontinued so I couldn't get new drawers
fronts. She's happy and that's all that counts. She specifically
forbade me from making new ones. "There's more important
things to do around here!" ;-)

Poplar is great for cabinets and bookcases that are going to be painted.
Poplar takes paint very well and is much harder than pine.

I made this bench from poplar. My daughter painted it pink. I cringed,
but the second I delivered it, it became hers to do with as she pleases.

It's about 5' long. Very sturdy.

I think of stains for cabinets but sure, painted pretty much anything
hard would be good. Cherry is nice if it's painted red.

But that's a waste of money. Poplar is affordable, hard(ish), easily
worked and, did I mention affordable?

Poplar veneer plywood is cheaper than birch.

Thanks. It started as all rough (skipped planed) boards.
Fun project.

Old wreck joke. So much cherry is stained dyed so red that it might
just as well be painted. Cherry is a beautiful wood, as is. No need
to do too much more to it.

I don't think I've seen any. Maybe that's actually what they're
selling at JD.
