For furniture that will be kept indoors, the important point to consider is whether the wood is likely to get exposed to water. For example a dining table kept in the kitchen or dining hall, or kitchen cabinet doors, is likely to be get wet. In such cases the best type of tree wood to used will be hard wood obtained by eucalyptus tree. It is often denoted by BWR( boiling water resistant) Sometimes it is also referred to as BWP (Boiling water proof). BWR/BWP grades are marked on the furniture, so that the wood used can be identified.

For furniture that is not likely to get wet, for example beds, bedroom cabinets, wall panels etc., interior grade of softwood available from 'Poplar tree' is suitable.It is often denoted by MR( Moisture Resistant), meaning that this type of plywood can able to withstand some amount of moisture or dampness. MR grade furniture from softwood is cheaper than BWR grade plywood, and quite suitable for most types of indoor furniture.
