Tables and chairs are generally made of __.

• A. wood
• B. metal
• C. plastic
• D. stone

Answer: (A)

Wood is the most common material for tables and chairs because it balances workability, durability, and a warm, natural look. It’s easy to cut, join, and shape into many designs, and it takes stains and finishes well, allowing a wide range of styles from rustic to refined. Wood is also widely available and affordable for everyday furniture. While metal, plastic, and stone are used in some designs, they aren’t as universally suitable for the broad variety of typical tables and chairs, which is why wood remains the general choice.
