Ready to experiment, that’s nice!But, I get what you mean as wood has always been the go-to material for furniture but metal is slowly gaining pupularity owing to its utilitarian factor.

But before you opt for metal, there are some things you should know:

Metal furniture comes in different styles & designs. You can go for a combination of wood and metal or furniture painted in colours that looks like wooden furniture.

Metal furniture is fireproof and will be unharmed during any accidents or fire breakouts.

In today’s time when there is too much of pollution, metal furniture is the right choice since it can be easliy recyled and does not involve use of many chemicals.

Metal furniture is easy to clean.You can just wipe it with a piece of cloth or wash using sopa water solution.Even though rust can be asn issue, it can be prevented with a coat of paint.

Bed bugs can be an issue in metal furniture but pest management is easier on metal furniture than wood.

If you reside in a small apartment, metal furniture can come in handy and fits well even in small spaces.

Metal furniture is affordable and lasts long, hence it is a best choice if you are tight on budget and do not want to spend on replacement often.

Metal furniture though can be quite heavy and difficult to carry around,so if you like to change furniture placemnt in your house time and again, this can be a disadvantage.

Metal furniture will get very hot when exposed to sun and quite cold during cold weather making it difficult to use.
