Inside Edition actually has a redeeming feature right now...

A good article about misadvertising regarding the multi-billion furniture industry. Pottery barn, Kohls, Target, Kmart, sell furniture - due to regulations rescinded 5 years ago (2002) - claim to sell 'solid cherry', 'mahogeny', et al - and it's all made with plywood.

1. Particle board.

Cheap crap with Formica/veneers on it. You want solid wood furniture, you better hit an antique store. Everything I grew up with is Heppelwhite style (oval handles) solid mahogany that is hand downs.

Mahogany is gorgeous, and cherry, IMNSHO, is the most gorgeous wood there is. Teak and rosewood are great too.

However, I am SICK of looking at it for the last half century.
