Buy solid wood to whatever level you can afford: whether pine, oak, semi-exotic or exotic.

This is a good one....18th Century American Federalist pieces can be worth millions of $$$$$$$....AND THEY ARE VENEERED!
I have a Kindel Dining Room set that I paid 17K for back in 1991. Today that set would cost nearly 30K after the Discount. What is my set worth...probably real close to the 17K mark.
Most of the High End furniture makers design will stand the test of time and look good 20 years down the line.
Its your money, I say be resourcefull with it.
I will tell U one thing if you start going to auctions your gona be hooked. Your gona start thinking why do I wana pay retail for anything? Most Antique Dealers buyer their merchandise at auction.
