The purpose of MinneapolisWoodFurniture.com is to provide you with useful tips and comparative information for shopping for wood furniture in the Minneapolis area.  If you have a piece you think may be of value, check with a reputable appraiser before doing major work on it.  There are the unfinished furniture stores for those of you who like the challenge of producing your own look.  For wood pieces, dusting with a very lightly dampened cloth is best.  Most cleaning products can cause harm to wood finishes.  Finding a good wax to apply occasionally is helpful.

Whether you are just starting out and you are working with a very limited budget, or you simply like the look and feel of old furniture, there are many second hand stores, antique shops, and estate sales at which you can find wonderful things.  What you see is what you get, and very often you get some marvelous pieces at good prices.  Keep in mind, they are not going to be the goldmine at “Antiques Roadshow,” but they can be very special to you.   The object is to find something you will be able to enjoy for many years to come, and perhaps it is something that will find it’s way into the kids homes as that cherished piece from the parents – or grandparents.
