One is to observe the wood grain. At present, solid wood raw materials are expensive and less and less, and many areas are restricted from cutting down, so generally speaking, many solid wood materials used in solid wood furniture are solid wood processing boards, and the wood grain is not continuous. Therefore, if the wood grain of a large area of components is beautiful and symmetrical, it must be non-solid wood furniture.

The second is to distinguish the taste. The smell of solid wood furniture is generally not too strong, not pungent, and has the smell of natural wood. The third is to observe the natural defects of wood.

Look at the location of one side with scars and knots, and then look for the corresponding pattern on the other side. If it is asymmetrical, it must be non-solid wood furniture. The fourth is to observe the inner material.

Some furniture will be equipped with hinges, hooks, handles and other parts, which can be removed and observed whether they are solid wood through the joint between these parts and the substrate. Fifth, observe the process. Generally speaking, in order to express the real texture of wood, manufacturers will generally only coat the surface with varnish or matte paint.

Wood-based panel furniture is generally connected by hardware (hardware decoration renderings) box structure, when buying furniture, observe the link between the furniture board and the board, if you see a three-in-one eccentric connector, etc., it is likely to be wood-based panel furniture, need to pay attention. Sixth, observe the modeling. If you see it very dazzling, the shape is very artistic (artistic decoration renderings), and the structure shape is changeable, then it is very likely that this furniture is not all solid wood materials.
