How to distinguish solid wood furniture?

Identification method of solid wood furniture:

1. First of all, determine whether the furniture is really made of solid wood. One of the secrets is the grain of wood and the knots. For example, a cabinet door, the appearance looks like a pattern, then the position corresponding to the change of the pattern, look at the corresponding pattern on the back of the cabinet door, if it corresponds well, it is a pure solid wood cabinet door.

In addition, looking at the scar knot is also a good way to identify pure wood: look at the location of the scarred side, and then look for the corresponding pattern on the other side.

2. Secondly, determine what kind of tree the solid wood is made of. This has a direct impact on price and quality. Ordinary solid wood furniture is usually made of beech, white oak, oak, etc., while precious mahogany furniture is mainly made of rosewood, wenge and rosewood.

The market for solid wood furniture is relatively chaotic, and there are often shoddy and confusing tree species, and at the same time, it should be noted that the price of wood is rising day by day, and it is absolutely fraudulent if it is too cheap.

3. Observe the quality of wood. Open the doors and drawers of the furniture cabinet to observe whether the wood is dry and white, and whether the texture is tight and delicate. If you are making furniture made of materials such as particleboard, MDF and one-time molded board, open the cabinet doors or drawers and smell them for pungent odors.

AnswerThere are many kinds of solid wood, beech, elm, ash, oak, pine, fir, sax, camphor, etc., and the most common one used in China is oak. Pine and fir are poor, ash, beech and elm belong to the upper medium, and the upper is the mahogany series. How to distinguish real from fake solid wood?

1.Scarring: Look at the location of the scarred side, and then look for the corresponding pattern on the other side.

2.Wood grain: The appearance seems to be a pattern, so according to the position of the pattern change, look at the corresponding pattern on the back of the cabinet door, if it corresponds well, it is pure solid wood.

3.Cross-section: The color of the cross-section is darker than the panel, and it can be seen that it is made of a single piece of wood.

Second smell: Pure wood has its own special taste, while wood-based panels will have a strong smell of chemical materials, such as formaldehyde, which is easy to identify. Three knocks:

Solid wood pieces will make a crisper sound when tapped by hand, while wood-based panels will have a low sound, and the wood parts of the box will make a drumming sound. Four: It is the weight, wood furniture is lighter than particleboard, MDF furniture.

Finally, you can observe the wood: open the furniture cabinet doors and drawers to observe whether the wood is dry and white, and whether the texture is tight and delicate. If you have furniture made of materials such as particleboard, MDF and one-time molded board, open the cabinet doors or drawers and smell them for pungent odors.

Can't I send a picture if I ask a question?

I want the teacher to put down some solid wood.

Beech, elm, ash, oak, pine, fir, sedge, camphor, etc.

Question: Is the multilayer board solid wood?

Thank you, teacher, for your question.

Scars are a good helper.

There is a natural color difference in all solid wood furniture, and there are certain differences in color and texture, and there are few defects in the appearance of solid wood veneer furniture, and its texture is clear and even better than that of all solid wood furniture. Consumers can use the texture and scar knots of solid wood to see the corresponding position on the exterior and back respectively, and if the correspondence is good, it is pure solid wood. In addition, looking at the scar is also a good way to identify pure wood, look at the location of one side of the scar, and then find out if there is a corresponding texture on the other side.

Cross-sectional view of timber.

For the identification of furniture with a combination of board and wood, in short, it is generally a man-made board in a large area such as wardrobe frames, shelves, drawer inner panels, etc. If the manufacturer pastes solid wood veneer on the outside of the wood-based panel, although the smooth surface improves the durability, the cross-section of the board will find that the grain of the two sides intersects, which is not in line with the normal growth direction of the tree, which is the main way to identify.

Do not let go of the subtle nail holes.

Some frames are made of solid wood, and the side panels, shelves, etc., are made of particleboard or MDF veneer, and the center of the board is actually plywood or various waste wood. This kind of furniture is difficult to identify by looking at the sample, but when it is installed after entering the site, it can be seen by the position of the nail hole, if it is particleboard, there are sawdust, and MDF is pulp-like, and consumers can use this feature to identify.

The hand touches the nose and smells almost away.

Consumers can tap the wood surface with their hands a few times, and the solid wood material will produce a crisper sound, while the wood-based panel will have a low sound. In addition, solid wood veneer feels very textured, while general artificial paper veneer feels dry.

The most common but very effective way to do this is to smell the furniture up close. Most solid wood has the aroma of tree species, pine has a pine resin smell, cypress has a light fragrance, camphor wood has a clear camphor wood smell, but fiberboard and MDF will have a strong pungent smell, especially in the cabinet door or drawer, the smell is easier to distinguish. Using this convenient method of identification, I believe that the solid wood furniture that I judge must be the same.

The most commonly used and effective way is to smell the smell of furniture up close, most solid wood furniture has the aroma of a tree species, pine has a pine resin smell, cypress has a light smell, camphor wood has a camphor wood smell and so on.

There is a natural color difference in solid wood furniture, and there are certain differences in its color and texture. Consumers can use the texture and scars of solid wood to judge its quality and inferiority.

Look at the scar first. There is a natural color difference in all solid wood furniture, and there are certain differences in color and texture, and there are few defects in the appearance of solid wood veneer furniture, and its texture is clear and even better than that of all solid wood furniture. Consumers can use the texture and scar knots of solid wood to see the corresponding position on the exterior and back respectively, and if the correspondence is good, it is pure solid wood.

In addition, looking at the scar is also a good way to identify pure wood, look at the location of one side of the scar, and then find out if there is a corresponding texture on the other side.

Secondly, ask carefully whether the furniture is "all solid wood" and where MDF is used. Ordinary solid wood furniture is usually made of beech, white oak, ash, elm, catalpa, rubber wood, and oak, while precious mahogany furniture is mainly made of rosewood, wenge, and rosewood. The market for solid wood furniture is more chaotic, often shoddy, confusing tree species, it is best to buy brand-name products, and at the same time pay attention to the fact that the price of wood is rising day by day, too cheap is absolutely fraudulent.

Then, with a few taps on the wood surface, the solid wood parts make a crisper sound, while the wood-based panels have a deeper sound.

Last but not least, smell the furniture. Most solid woods have the aroma of tree species, pine has a pine resin smell, cypress has a light fragrance, and camphor wood has a clear camphor wood smell. However, fiberboard and MDF will have a strong pungent odor, especially in cabinet doors or drawers, and the two are easier to distinguish.
