Whitewood is a very valuable type of hardwood and unlike what the name suggests, it's completely not white at all. Whitewood is a perfect choice for any kind of furniture, especially a sofa. A white wood sofa has a nice grained texture, mainly because the white wood is soft and lightweight, making it easy to work with, plus it's also very durable. It being a hardwood makes your white wood sofa strong and long-lasting, plus it's easily available. A white wood sofa is not only an indoor piece of furniture but also an ideal option for outdoors since it's hard and durable, and with that, it can easily withstand the outdoor elements. However, there is one shortcoming for it being used as an outdoor furniture, you should keep it away from water as it absorbs water very quickly, causing it to wrap.
