Unfinished furniture is wooden or wood-products furniture fully constructed, or usually needing to be assembled and painted or finished.
 
By eliminating the final finishes and assembly steps the manufacturer is able to provide a lower cost unit of standard quality. 
The customer can then assemble and finish the unit to match their own decor.

Unfinished wood furniture is often found at home stores such as Home Depot, Lowes and other centers where do-it-yourselfers shop.
Wal-mart and other discount stores will usually have pieces which have high popularity, such as simple bookshelves, desks and other items.

Minimal tools and skill is required to assemble the item. 
It can usually be done even by an unskilled person.
If fasteners or tools are required, they are either provided or the packaging will clearly state what is needed to complete the assembly.

A wide selection of unfinished furniture pieces can be found on the internet. 
Larger cities may have a retail outlet.
 
Sometimes a slightly different format is used, wherein the customer chooses the completely assembled piece in a showroom or factory and chooses the finish, which is then applied to the furniture unit. 
This cuts down the amount of time between sale and delivery.
