Its advantage is that its pattern is particularly beautiful, the complex pattern is uniform and delicate, coupled with the characteristics of easy processing and light weight, it has become a good choice for furniture materials. Furniture made of it will have a natural texture, and because the color of maple is simple and plain, it is particularly suitable for minimalist furniture.
