It's hard enough to make every day pieces of. Chairs, wardrobes, even beds and kitchen tables are being manufactured.
Even though it's hard enough to make most furnitures, it's still one of the softer variations, working with it is easy and that keeps the costs down.
This wood is sustainable. It means that the tree is planted mainly for its fruit which Asian farmers pick and export or use for the local cuisine. It's only timbered when it stops giving the fruits.
Because the main trunk grows up to 3-5 feet in diameter and 70-80 feet in height in a very short time span. This makes it possibly the most important furniture material of the future.
Unfortunately the tree is prone to diseases, fungi are particularly dangerous.
The better furniture manufacturers make sure they check every tree before they work them into a furniture of any description.
In the western world there is a particular demand for quality hardwood furniture, and while there are other species supplying the industry, such as teak and oak, mango wood is the fastest growing hard wood the industry can use, and it's still easy enough to work with to enable fast and precise processing.
Mango wood furnitures are easy to buy especially in the United Kingdom and they're cheap enough for virtually anyone to furniture their homes with.
While these pieces had been less common, they will certainly gain popularity in the future when other sources of hard wood will be too expensive to buy.

Previously mango tree is only plant for fruit. Now it’s used as wood after they stop giving fruit. For this reason farmer gets 2 ways benefits. This increases their interest of planting more & more mango tree. Its also beneficial for environment also.
I love mango fruit ... it is sweet, heavenly .... simply delicious. And as for the wood ... beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!
It would appear that much of today's furniture is built from pressed boards and plastic wood-like veneers. This is due in large part to an economic system that has left households unable to afford to give top dollar for furniture.
I recantly bought a book shelf made of mango wood and just love it. The color and wood grain are beautiful.

I have two very large, very old mango trees in my suburban yard in Brisbane. They are to be removed so a house can be built. If someone wants to remove them, they're yours for free. Would need a professional tree-remover. If interested please email admin@marriotts.net.au.
