We’ve all seen it happen. That brand-new wardrobe door that once stood firm now sags at the hinges. The bookshelf that used to hold your novels straight now bends in the middle. Or the dining table that creaks when you lean on it. Sagging furniture is one of the most common problems in Indian homes—and it usually comes down to one thing: the quality of plywood used.
At Altwood, we believe furniture should last for years without losing its shape or strength. If you’ve ever wondered why your furniture starts sagging and how to prevent it, here’s the truth you need to know.
Most sagging problems don’t happen overnight. They build up over time due to:
Weak plywood that can’t handle load and stress
Incorrect thickness of sheets used for shelves, doors, or partitions
Moisture damage causing swelling and warping
Poor bonding between layers of plywood
Low-density block board substitutes that aren’t made for heavy use
When furniture is made with low-quality plywood, it simply doesn’t have the strength to hold weight or withstand daily use.

Not all plywood is the same. The difference lies in:
Core material – Cheap plywood often uses weak or uneven cores.
Bonding glue – Low-grade adhesives weaken over time.
Pressing process – Poorly pressed sheets have air gaps that cause sagging.
That’s why at Altwood, we only use best quality plywood that is:
Alternate plywood for general use
Red core plywood for extra durability
Shuttering plywood for heavy-duty areas like kitchens & bathrooms

Wardrobes → Doors misalign and don’t close properly.
Bookshelves → Middle shelves bend under weight.
Dining Tables → Tops lose balance and start to wobble.
Beds → Side frames bend, reducing mattress support.
Cabinets → Hinges get loose as plywood loses grip.
Using block board or alternate plywood in the right place prevents these issues. For example, block board is great for vertical shutters, while plywood sheets work better for shelves that carry weight.

Here are some quick tips to make your furniture last longer:
Choose the right grade – Always ask your supplier whether it’s MR (moisture resistant), BWR (boiling water resistant), or marine grade.
Check thickness – Thicker plywood sheets give better support.
Match use to material – Use plywood for cabinets, block board for shutters, and flush doors for entryways.
Ask about durability – Is it termite-resistant? Moisture-proof? At Altwood, the answer is yes.
