What is the principle of material selection for solid wood furniture

1. Observe the 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 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.

2. Check the interface

Good solid wood furniture is connected by tenon and groove, etc., and is reinforced by screws and protective blocks in places where the local load is relatively large. If you see solid wood furniture, all of which are fixed by screws, then the firmness of this kind of furniture is not high.

3. Drawer details:

The drawer should be solid and firm, with tight screws on the inside. Pull open drawers, tabletops, doors, and more to make sure they work and connect correctly. The bottom plate of the drawer has a certain thickness, and the bottom plate of the drawer is connected by a groove instead of a nail.

4. Judge the place of origin

Special attention should be paid to the origin of solid wood furniture and wood manufacturers. There is an old saying that "solid wood is not the Yangtze River", that is, after the solid wood furniture produced in the south is transferred to the north, it will be prone to cracking and deformation due to the influence of the climate on the moisture content. Therefore, when purchasing, you should see the origin.

5. Touch the surface:

Place your hand on the surface of the furniture and carefully check whether the polished surface is smooth, especially to see if the legs and other parts are rough, whether there are streaks in the paint brush, whether the paint in the corners is too thick, and whether there are cracks or bubbles.

1. Hardness. Solid wood furniture is generally made of wood with higher hardness, and the wood is softer, which will leave a lot of marks in later use;

2. Wood grain. The wood grain affects the sensory effect of solid wood furniture.

3. Dry cracking. The wood is too dry and cracked, and even after treatment, it is difficult to avoid cracking in the later stage.

The difference between old elm furniture in the north and elm furniture in the south: the humidity in the south is higher than that in the north, and the furniture in the south needs to be dehydrated (heating in winter in the north), and the cracking deformation coefficient is higher due to dehydration and shrinkage; The old elm in the north is a beam wood, which is dried for a long time under natural conditions, and the heating also shrinks in winter, but the coefficient is not large, and the probability of deformation is low because of the natural drying under the conditions of the north for a long time.

Whether the color will change the wood does not deform.
