Mahogany

Mahogany is considered one of the best woods for a front door because of its hardness and durability. Genuine mahogany grows in a moist climate, which makes it particularly resistant to rot. While many people think of a dark, reddish wood when they think of mahogany, the actual color may vary greatly from pale and light to darker red with dark streaks.

Mahogany doors stain particularly well, making their design adaptable to nearly any style of home. It is also one of the more affordable woods and is a good insulator, making it energy-efficient.
