In the past several years, oak furniture has become a very collectible item throughout the United States. The good solid oak pieces that were so popular from 1850-1930 have won the hearts of thousands of avid collectors and have become useful in today's home furnishings. Several factors are responsible for the resurrection of oak; first, the wood itself is very durable, lending itself admirably to refinishing and restoring. Second, today's collector can associate himself and his childhood with the many pieces of oak furniture that he grew up with. Third, oak furniture is still available in the antique shops, flea markets, auctions and sales at a reasonable cost.
