That is why Artistico chooses natural types of wood that are useful in the manufacture of furniture, such as:
1- Beech wood
It is the strongest type of wood because of its very narrow pores and its reddish color makes it more distinctive, so it is used in industries that require strength and hardness.
Therefore, Artistico uses beech wood in the manufacture of Domino desk legs, which gives them hardness and strength.
2- Oak wood
Distinguished by its jagged branches, oak is a durable and expensive wood. There are many types of oak such as Yugoslav oak, American oak, English oak, Austrian oak, and African oak.

It is called Swedish wood or yellow fir.
Exporting countries are Russia, Sweden, and Turkey, which is an inexpensive natural wood made of pine with brown spots or knots, including the good, light, and other dark woods. A blemish stain is the weakest area of wood and over time turns into a hole that cracks during the manufacturing process. It is included in the manufacture of pressure-resistant parts and is therefore suitable for the manufacture of windows, doors, ledges, kitchens, sofas, and upholstery. But tables, chairs, and even legs are not made of it. Because it is difficult to dig because of its fragility.
4- Dear wood
It is a type of pine wood, which is more expensive than beech pine wood; Because it does not contain the knots found in beech pine, and its colors are yellow, white, and beige, and it is characterized by its light-sensitive shell and good resistance to various weather factors, so it is used in places where various weather factors abound, such as beaches, etc.
5- Walnut wood
