One look, two smells. Three knocks, four knocks.

A look: Generally speaking, real solid wood furniture rarely has a perfect texture, most of them have natural color differences, and most of their textures have certain differences, while "pseudo solid wood" furniture has a clear texture, which can be described as "flawless" in appearance. In addition, pure solid wood can also be identified through the "scar identification method", consumers can see the relative position of the appearance and back of the solid wood furniture, if the texture and scar knots can be well corresponded, it is pure solid wood.

Second smell: most of the solid wood has the natural aroma of trees, such as cypress has a light fragrance, pine has a pine resin fragrance, camphor wood will have an obvious camphor smell, and some man-made boards will have a strong pungent odor, such as formaldehyde. In particular, some closed lockers, such as drawers or the inside of a wardrobe, smell easy to distinguish.

Three knocks: In addition, when purchasing, consumers can also identify by the sound of hitting the wood surface with their hands, generally speaking, solid wood furniture will make a crisper sound, and the sound of man-made panel products is relatively low.

In terms of weight, solid wood furniture is slightly lighter than particleboard and MDF furniture, and the surface of solid wood furniture feels more textured, while the feel of general man-made panel furniture is drier.

It is best to choose mahogany that is good for the body.
