But anyway, I'd love to hear from you guys about it...

I've used western red cedar for small boxes. The wood is very soft and
can be brittle. Due to the softness of the stuff I get, I wouldn't use
it in furniture. Your experience may vary. I note that in the Pacific
Northwest it's used in a lot of things.
