Question regarding Acacia wood furniture

[jlwalter]

I came across a website called IO Metro that had furniture claimed to be made from Acacia. Any information? Good, bad, indifferent?

I don't know about humans in 2012 but The Almighty in 2000 B.C. or so seemed to like it: http://www.bibleplaces.com/tabernacle.htm

Its a hardwood, usually referred to as "Australian Blackwood" in the species used in furniture making. Its a medium density wood that can show figure if stained and finished properly. No reason to shy away from it.
