An inexpensive way to populate your home with attractive pieces of furniture is to choose second hand pine furniture. This softwood is commonly used in furniture making because it is reasonably attractive and easy to work with, though it will be necessary to do a bit of maintenance to ensure the second hand pine furniture lasts a long time. Pine can come in a variety of shades and styles; some furniture will feature knotty pine, which will have a high amount of knots that add to the attractiveness of the piece.

Decide ahead of time what types of second hand pine furniture you will need, as well as how much you are willing to spend. Pine bedroom furniture does tend to be less expensive than hardwood furniture. If you intend to buy several pieces of second hand pine furniture, consider buying a set rather than buying each piece individually. This will save money and ensure that each piece has a consistent look and matches the other furniture in the room.

After you have taken careful measurements of the room, decide what pieces of furniture will fit best and where they will be placed in it. This will help prevent clutter in the room, which can make it uncomfortable and cramped. This may also help determine what set you buy, as bedroom sets may include various pieces, including bed frames, dressers and nightstands (if buying for a bedroom). Think carefully about what pieces you want and need for the room.

Decide what tone of wood you are looking for. Some second hand pine furniture will be very light in color and feature a smooth grain. This is a very attractive option for rooms with a clean aesthetic. Knotty pine features various knots throughout the pieces of wood, and the result is a more rustic look to the furniture. Unfinished second hand pine furniture will be the least expensive option in most cases, but it will need to be painted or otherwise treated to resist damage such as chipping, cracking, and warping. At the very least, a protective coating will be necessary, as the softwood can gouge or dent very easily. If you want to preserve the look of the unfinished second hand pine, a coating of clear lacquer should do the job.

Termites, also known as white ants, are small insects that obtain nourishment from wood including wood structures, furniture and even trees. The insects burrow and live in dark, warm places and can destroy wood-based structures and items quickly if left undisturbed.

Here are instructions on how to get rid of termites from your second hand wooden furniture:

1. Place three to four pieces of newspaper on the floor of a storage shed, garage or other area that contains doors that can be closed.
2. Place the piece of furniture on the newspaper-covered floor.
3. Open any doors present on the piece of furniture. Pull out and remove any drawers. Place the drawers on a piece of newspaper.
4. Place one bomb-type termite insecticides inside of the piece of furniture. Place another bomb-type termite insecticide outside of the piece of furniture.
5. Activate the bomb-type termite insecticides by pressing the button on the insecticides. Leave the area immediately and close any doors and windows.

Warning: If your piece of second hand wooden furniture is antique or fragile, consult with an exterminator or a clerk at your area’s hardware/home improvement center about purchasing a termite insecticide that is non-chemical (green product). Use the non-chemical product instead of a standard termite insect insecticide.
