It becomes suitable when it meets the needs of the maker. Almost any wood can make nice furniture as long as you understand its limitations and build accordingly.

We use a pine bedroom set we’ve had for over 35 years. It has a few dings, but it still looks fine and is as sturdy as brand new. Fifteen years ago, I built a vanity for our bedroom to match the bedroom set. I used good old #2 Pine, and it’s still going strong.
