    There is a technical term called "expansion joint". Solid wood furniture, especially mahogany furniture, will be specially reserved for expansion joints in order to adapt to different environments, and their width is generally within centimeters. If the panel is not too wide, but the expansion joints are more than centimeters, it may be caused by the wood not drying well when making the furniture.

    Expansion joints can be described as the "self-protection system" of mahogany furniture. High-quality mahogany furniture emphasizes the production process of mortise and tenon structure, without using an iron nail, and assembles the various parts of the furniture through the ingenious combination of tenon and tenon. The function of the expansion joint is that when the wood shrinks or expands due to the environmental influence, it will not damage the mortise and tenon structure, resulting in the loosening of the parts of the furniture and the inability to use normally.
