Hardwood refers to wood from broadleaf (deciduous) trees such as oak, walnut, maple, and cherry. Hardwoods are generally denser, more durable, and more resistant to wear than softwoods, making them ideal for furniture that needs to withstand daily use.
The Janka hardness scale measures a wood's resistance to denting — higher ratings indicate harder, more durable surfaces. Premium furniture typically uses hardwoods rated above 1000 on the Janka scale.
