Wood

Easy to use

Metals are widely used especially for structural support

Cannot easily hold the weight of other materials

Plastics can be very aesthetic

Most materials can be easily sourced

I would need the materials to be cheap and good quality

Wood and plastic are relatively cheap

Some of the materials are really specific so can be expensive

Needs to be specific to a user

Depending on the function of the product depends on who it would be aimed at.

It wouldn't necessarily need to be safe for toddlers use

It would need to withstand long term use

This product would have very long making time because it would have lots of small details with very little room for error

Doesn't have to be uniform

Basic monocrome

Needs to be something someone needs, preferably daily so its not junk that people only use once

It must be multifunctional

Metals are harder to work with but do hold their shape

Metals are widely recycled

Different bbbbbbv n

Comes in lots of different colours and materials

not easy to clean

They are good for reinforcements

Plastics do not hold weight very well and crack under pressure

There is lots of different types and colours

Could be a fire hazard so the environment would need to be considered

Can be painted or stained to suit a colour
