    Authentic mahogany furniture, no nails are used.

    1. The mortise and tenon structure is stronger and more durable than the furniture connected by iron nails. First, the mortise and tenon joint structure is a combination of tenon and tenon, which is an ingenious combination between more and less, high and low, long and short between wood, which can effectively limit the twisting of wood in all directions. And iron nail connection can't do it.

    Secondly, metal is susceptible to rust or oxidation, while real mahogany furniture can be used for hundreds or thousands of years. If it is combined with iron nails, it is likely that the wood is intact, but the furniture falls apart due to the corrosion, fatigue, and aging of the connected metal.

    Second, the furniture with mortise and tenon structure is easy to transport. Mahogany furniture is disassembled, assembled and transported, and then assembled and installed at the destination, which is very convenient. If you use iron nails to connect furniture, you can make it into a partial split, but you can't make furniture with a lot of small wooden pieces such as chairs.

    3. The furniture with mortise and tenon structure is easy to maintain. No matter what kind of furniture, there will be problems after long-term use, and it needs to be repaired and maintained. Furniture connected with iron nails is not as easy to disassemble and replace as mortise and tenon furniture.

    Fourth, because the mahogany wood is hard, and the iron nail is wedged into it by squeezing and drilling, this process is very easy to cause wood splitting.

    Fifth, the use of mortise and tenon joints to connect mahogany furniture has greater advantages than the use of iron nails, which can greatly improve the intrinsic quality of mahogany furniture.
