Mahogany Furniture refers to furniture made from Mahogany material. Mahogany is a precious hardwood primarily found in tropical regions such as Southeast Asia and Africa. The wood is hard, dense, and has an attractive grain, with strong resistance to corrosion and stability. Common types of rosewood include Hainan yellow rosewood, Indian small-leaf Mahogany, and Vietnamese Mahogany.



Hardwood furniture uses a wider variety of hardwood materials, which not only includes mahogany but also other precious hardwoods. According to the national standard "Dark Colored Precious Hardwood Furniture," there are as many as 101 types of hardwood, including 33 species of mahogany. Therefore, the scope of hardwood furniture is broader and is not limited to mahogany furniture.
