How to choose high quality solid wood furniture?

Out of the need for environmental protection, now pure solid wood furniture is less and less, most of the solid wood furniture is made of a combination of solid wood and wood-based panels, this process avoids cracking and warping deformation due to the use of solid wood in a large area, while maintaining the beautiful texture of pure natural logs, without losing the noble and elegant essence of solid wood furniture. The sales staff of Nanyang Dick Furniture told reporters that because of the different processing technology, the purchase of such solid wood must be done "three looks, two touches and one pressure".

"One look": The first thing to look at is the material. Generally good solid wood furniture, after opening the cabinet doors and drawers, its wood is dry and white, with clear texture, tight texture and delicate texture. At the same time, good solid wood furniture requires that after opening the cabinet doors or drawers, there should not be any pungent odors.

Let's look at the components. When buying solid wood furniture, it is necessary to carefully check the stressed parts of the furniture, such as the sofa legs, columns, and load-bearing horizontal strips close to the ground between the connecting columns, to ensure that there are no major scars, cracks, or cracks; Check the sliding and positioning of the drawers, open all the doors and drawers to see if the screws at the junctions of the components are tightened; Whether the internal wood-based panel has been edge-banded, and many parts of various accessories are installed, and there are no missing nails or transparent nails.

"Second touch": that is, to touch whether the surface is smooth, the surface of good solid wood furniture is smooth, there will be no protrusions and other problems; Then touch the corners and other parts of the furniture, if there is roughness, the pigment is too thick, etc., it means that the processing technology is inferior.

Finally, it depends on the place of origin. If the moisture content of solid wood furniture is higher than the average moisture content of the use area of 1, cracking, deformation, falling apart, warping and other phenomena may occur. Therefore, it is best to buy furniture produced by brand enterprises with good drying technology.

"Three pressures": that is, when selecting solid wood furniture, it is necessary to gently press the various stress points of the furniture, such as column corners, drawers or shelf supports, etc., to test whether it is stable.

When buying solid wood furniture, you should first understand what tree species the furniture is made of, which directly affects its price and quality. In the north, ordinary solid wood furniture is usually made of ash, oak, elm, catalpa, pine, etc., while high-end solid wood furniture is mainly made of rosewood, sour branch wood, ebony and other precious materials. Now the solid wood furniture market is more chaotic, often shoddy, confusing the phenomenon of tree species, consumers are better to buy brand-name products to avoid being deceived.

Common ways to buy solid wood furniture:

1. Find scar knots.

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 all solid wood furniture. Looking at scar knots is a great way to identify pure solid wood. Look at the location of one side of the scar, and then look for the corresponding texture on the other side.

Second, look at the position of the nail hole during installation.

If it is particleboard, it will have wood chips, and MDF will appear as pulp.

3. Smell most of the solid wood with the aroma of tree species, pine has a pine resin smell, cypress has a light fragrance, camphor wood has an obvious camphor smell, but fiberboard, MDF will have a strong pungent smell, especially in the cabinet door or drawer.

Fourth, the solid veneer feels smooth and textured, while the general artificial paper skin feels dry.

5. Knock. You can use your hands to knock on the wood surface a few times, and the solid wood material will make a crisper sound, while the wood-based panel will have a deeper sound.
