This study explores the use of resin-treated kelempayan (Neolamarckia cadamba) as a sustainable raw material for a portable television stand prototype. The use of kelempayan as an alternative material to hardwood species promotes the use of fast-growing species that can be harvested and replanted, ensuring the long-term sustainability of tropical forest resources. However, kelempayan is a light hardwood species that requires treatment to increase its durability. The aims of this study are to determine the dimensional stability properties of treated kelempayan with phenol formaldehyde resin and, to evaluate the perception of a portable television stand prototype made from resin-treated kelempayan wood on raw material, design, marketing and satisfaction. Treated specimens showed better stability, as evidenced by the significant 101% increase in weight percent gain, 86.3% in anti-swelling efficiency, 133% in resistance to water absorption, 100% in leaching and 35% bulking enhancement through PF resin infilling into the cell lumens. Thus, increasing the chemical concentration and enhancing biological resistance and dimensional stability make it a viable option for furniture manufacturers. Besides, the analysis showed significant positive correlations, with satisfaction moderately linked to raw material (r = 0.569), and strongly associated with design (r = 0.735) and marketing (r = 0.764). The findings on consumers' satisfaction indicated that the use of treated kelempayan as an alternative raw material for furniture is acceptable. Meanwhile, the portable and simple design of the product demonstrates the potential for sustainable raw materials to be used in the production of green products that meet consumers' needs and preferences. Overall, this study contributes to the knowledge of sustainable raw materials for green products and promotes the use of alternative materials that are environmentally friendly and socially responsible. The use of resin-treated kelempayan as a sustainable raw material for a portable television stand is a step towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly furniture industry.
