What is the normal furniture clearance

1. The size of the expansion joint.

The expansion joints of solid wood furniture, especially mahogany classical furniture, are specially reserved to adapt to different environments, in order not to crack the frame or corner tenon of the furniture.

The size of the expansion joint is very important, and the width is determined by the specific gravity of the wood and the climatic characteristics of the region where the furniture is ultimately used. The width of the expansion joint is generally within centimeters, more than centimeters are more ugly, if the panel is not too wide, it is completely unnecessary to exceed. The expansion joints are too wide, and the wood is generally not dry well when making furniture.

2. The necessity of expansion joints.

Before the wood is made into furniture, there is a strict drying process, and some can take more than a month to reduce deformation. In order to control the quality, the water content of the products sold to different regions is also different. Even so, expansion joints must be reserved to prevent deformation of the furniture.

The longitudinal shrinkage of wood is not large, and there is generally no need to leave expansion joints at both ends. Some manufacturers leave seams on all sides, so it looks relatively good-looking.

There are also some manufacturers who do not leave expansion joints for furniture, but not leaving does not mean that there must be none, because manufacturers do not have absolute certainty about wood drying, and the moisture content of wood is generally higher than that of air, so that even if there are no expansion joints when making, there will be seams after the furniture is made, and a considerable part of the furniture has seams regardless of the dry and wet seasons, but the size is different.

In those areas where the humidity and dryness of the environment vary greatly throughout the year, expansion joints are a must. The air humidity is high in the rainy season, although the wood is artificially dried, but the wood will still absorb water in the process of furniture making, and the volume will increase, and there is generally no need to leave expansion joints, and expansion joints will also appear when the climate is dry in winter; In spring and winter, when the air is dry, when the wood is manually dried to make furniture, it is generally necessary to leave expansion joints, otherwise, after the arrival of wet summer, the large side will be damaged.

3. Other precautions.

If it is solid wood furniture, then there will generally be no expansion joints on the surface of the table top and board surface. If so, it may be due to the following two reasons: one is that the desktop board is a frame structure, and the other is caused by other special processes or materials on the desktop.

Among them, the frame structure is the most commonly used in the combination of wood and wood furniture, and it is necessary to pay attention to the distinction.

Finally, remind everyone that expansion joints are the "self-protection system" of solid wood furniture, and there is no need to worry about uneven size, and most of them will return to their original appearance after seasonal changes.

I would like to get your reply, a new solid wood bed I bought, the size of the seam between the board at the head of the bed is asymmetrical, the height and width are centimeters, and the seams are empty, how much is reasonable to coordinate with the seller?

3. The seller does not refund the money, how can I ask them to change the head of the bed.
