Solid wood furniture selection guide

To buy solid wood furniture, we must first understand what solid wood furniture is, according to the concept of “The First China Solid Wood Furniture Seminar”, which was officially established by the China Furniture Association, the domestic industry and the EU furniture industry experts on April 29, 2002: solid wood Furniture refers to furniture made of wood-framed structure, made of natural wood and made of wood-based panels .

The advantages of solid wood furniture are natural: natural texture, variable shape (such as curved surface, carved), because of the less glue, the environmental performance is higher than the plate furniture. However, solid wood furniture also has obvious shortcomings: when making the bearing part of the furniture, if it is made into thin plates, such as side plates and frames, it is easy to change; also, the stability of the wood depends on the change of water content, and the solid wood furniture will be surrounded by The environmental impact changes the water content at the time of shipment, and the change in water content causes deformation and cracking.

In addition to a very small amount of solid wood furniture, which is made of precious wood species, such as table and chair furniture, most of the main body or front face is made of natural wood, and the rest is made of wood-based furniture. Maintaining the beautiful texture of pure natural logs, and overcoming the large-area use of wood, it is easy to produce cracking and warping deformation characteristics, which not only improves the utilization of wood but also the essence of elegant and rich furniture. At the same time, it is different from the panel furniture composed of wood-based panels (including solid wood sliced ​​faces) and metal connectors.

To buy solid wood furniture, check the following points:

1. Determine whether the furniture is really made of solid wood , or indicate where the solid wood is, where is the wood-based panel . Peek into the mystery of wood: wood grain and knots. This is the method disclosed by the industry to identify whether it is a piece of solid wood. For example, if a cabinet door looks like a pattern, then the corresponding pattern of the pattern changes, and the corresponding pattern is seen on the back of the cabinet door. If the correspondence is good, it is a pure solid wood cabinet door. Also look at the knot is also a good way to identify pure wood: optimistic about the location of the scar side, and then find the corresponding pattern on the other side.

2. What kind of wood is made of wood, which directly affects price and quality . In the north, ordinary solid wood furniture usually uses eucalyptus, white oak, ash, eucalyptus, eucalyptus, rubber wood and eucalyptus, while the precious mahogany furniture mainly uses "rosewood, wenge, rosewood". The market for solid wood furniture is rather chaotic, and there are often things that are shoddy and confusing. It is best to buy brand-name products. At the same time, note that the price of wood can only be higher and higher, and it is too cheap to be fraudulent.

3. Observe the pros and cons of wood . Open the furniture cabinet door and drawer to observe whether the wood is dry and white, and the texture is tight and delicate. If furniture made of particleboard, MDF, and one-time molded board is used, it is required to open the door or drawer without irritating odor.

4. Observe the wood for defects . The main stress-bearing parts of the furniture, such as the column and the load-bearing horizontal strip connecting the column to the ground, should not have large knots or cracks or cracks. The structure is firm, the frame must not be loose, and it is not allowed to break or break the material. Don't buy the "three-in-one" that uses a saw to cut a particle board, nail it with a nail, and paint it with a paint. Don't buy furniture made of "three no" drawers that help you with no bad, no flaws, no straps at the end. . The components of the wood-based panels used in the furniture shall be edge-sealed, and the various accessories shall be installed with few pieces, missing nails and nails.

5. Observe the strength of the board . The surface of the board can be pressed with a finger to feel the fastness of the board. One side of the material should be fixed by a well-shaped solid frame. If the skeleton is sparse, the surface will feel empty and false, and the panel will vibrate greatly. The bottom of the drawer should be pressed by hand to test the strength. Generally, the bottom of the partition is multi-layered and the area is large. The partitions should be made of five-layer boards. Cabinet doors and drawer switches should be flexible. When the panel is covered with thin wood and other materials, the color of the product should be similar, and the paint film on the surface of the product is not allowed to wrinkle, stick and leak paint.

6. Check whether there is a drawer or door frame tilting phenomenon, whether there is a skew of the eye position caused by the twisted eye socket or the eye hole is too large, and the hoe is not strict . Wooden furniture should have safety and stability. When the two doors are opened 90 degrees, the hand can be gently pulled forward, the cabinet can not be tilted forward automatically; the glass of the bookcase door should be edging; the mirror and The dressing table should be equipped with a back panel, and the bead should be fixed to the glass surface. Individual parts of the furniture (such as legs, drawers, doors or brackets) must be supported. You should push the top corner of the furniture or sit on one side and try to make sure the furniture is firm.

7. Is the edge, top, front and back interface of the furniture an inlay joint, a tongue-and-groove joint, or a double dowel joint? It is advisable to purchase a dovetail joint or a butterfly joint. Heavier furniture should be screwed with a protective block in the corner and glued. As for the back plate part, it is also necessary to check whether it is set and the screws are attached.

8. Check the slides and latches of the drawer . The drawer should be solid and secure with the screws tightened inside. It is a good idea to open the drawers, the event table, the doors and other parts to ensure that they can be used freely and properly connected.

9. Feel the surface of the furniture by hand . Carefully check that the polished surface is smooth, especially to avoid roughening of the table legs. Are there any streaks in the pigment? Is the pigment in the corner position too thick? Are there cracks or bubbles?

10. Turn the chair upside down on the furniture and look at how they are made . As for the table, check from the bottom. See if the seams are reinforced with screws and wedges? Is the strip and the buckle fastened? There are no excess glue and filler in the seams.

11. Pay special attention to the moisture content and origin of solid wood furniture wood . The climate of various regions in China has an impact on the moisture content of wood. The moisture content of wood should not be higher than 1% of the local equilibrium moisture content of the area of ​​use. Otherwise, the wood will be separated due to expansion and contraction, and the furniture will fall apart. . Therefore, to buy mahogany furniture produced by drying equipment and dry-processed enterprises, mahogany furniture produced locally or in the field is not important. The key is whether the moisture content is consistent with the equilibrium moisture content of the area of ​​use. There is an old saying "solid wood but the Yangtze River", that is to say, after the solid wood furniture produced in the south reaches the north, the moisture content will be affected by the climate, which is prone to cracking and deformation. Therefore, when you purchase, you should see the place of production.
