My mother is not like any other mothers who are obsessed with home furniture. At times, I find this a good thing because I get to buy things for my room without her permission. Other times, however, I wished she was one furniture organiser freak because I see that our house is cluttered with minimal storage space. This worried me because I knew that some of our dining furniture was valuable coming from a Singapore shop where my grandfather used to work. So, the decision was up to me since I am the eldest and would soon inherit the house. Thus, this started my search for a furniture shop that sells quality wooden furniture!
1. My liking for wooden furniture
Some people may call this weird but I love the smell of wood. I have read tons of articles about this mild liking or almost obsession because I know I am not alone on this one. I mean who does not like the smell of aged wood? Anyway, the articles said that a human’s sense of smell has a direct and intimate connection to the areas of the brain. This means that when I go to modern stores in Singapore that sell wooden furniture, the smell will trigger an emotion and memory. This made me realise that the smell of wood reminds of my bond with my grandparents. My grandfather was a collector of any wooden things he would get his hands on. He taught me a lot of things about it. This encouraged me to liven up our place with wooden furniture, to remind us of them.
2. Looking for a furniture store
Our family is big because, at the time of my grandparents, it was not a surprise to have more than five children. In total, my mother had six siblings. We always had big gatherings at home. I remember that wooden dining table we used to eat in. Thinking about it now, I used to say to my friends before that we had the longest wooden dining table in Singapore. Of course, I was little that time and did not know that it was just a large one. Anyway, this has reminded me to contact my aunts and uncles because they know the area more than I do. One of my aunts suggested Soul & Tables. I trust her judgment because her house has always been organised and beautifully decorated. So, I checked the shop immediately.
3. Purchasing wooden furniture from Soul & Tables
When I searched for them to confirm if they were legitimate I found out that they do deliveries! This is convenient for me because I live more in the office than in our house now. So, upon exploring their website, I have learned that they do not only sell dining furniture in Singapore but also lamps, chairs, and many more! This got me excited because I would have a wooden lamp in my bedroom! I purchased two Sumba lamps and three Bali lamps for the rooms in the house to have one. More than that, I purchased trays and coaster sets for my mom and aunt which I know they will love! All in all, their products are of high quality because they use durable types of woods like teak and resin. Teak is one of the most durable types of wood you can buy according to my grandfather. Resin, on the other hand, are durable and scratch-proof when they are coated with protective gloss.
4. The products
After a few weeks, my orders arrived. They were compactly sealed with plenty of protection. This is a good sign that they ensure that their products are protected during the transit. As expected, the lamps, trays, and coaster set are elegant and perfectly crafted! I excitedly placed them in their respective spots in the house. Now, when I enter a room the first thing that I will see is the wooden lamp! It really complemented the other wooden furniture in the house! When I turned them on at night, they definitely gave the room an alluring atmosphere which almost made me believe that I returned back in time when my grandfather was still alive! So, thinking about it now, even without that familiar smell emitted by that long wooden dining table, it still feels like Singapore with my grandfather!
Conclusion
I am glad that my aunt recommended Soul & Tables to me! With them, I was able to restore the liveliness of our house! Thus, I highly recommend them for wooden furniture lovers like me. So, if you are looking for modern furniture stores in Singapore that sell quality and durable wooden furniture, get them from Soul & Tables. You can visit their website and see their payment and delivery information!
