How to distinguish solid wood furniture from particle board

Solid wood, in fact, is natural wood, and after being made into furniture, it generally has the texture of natural wood on the surface. Solid wood because it is the original wood fiber, in the toughness and carving performance is very outstanding, furniture can do curved and changeable surfaces, carved a variety of deep patterns, etc., but all solid wood furniture also has inherent shortcomings, he will be easily deformed in the wet situation, some will even twist, this is the reason why some solid wood doors can not be closed after being damp, so the service life of pure solid wood furniture is greatly reduced.

Particleboard is a man-made board made of solid wood particles, the structure of the board is relatively symmetrical, the solid wood particles are pressed, the processability is also very good, and the furniture size can be processed into large-format boards, and the furniture made is usually neat and beautiful. However, its inherent disadvantage is that panel furniture is more likely to absorb moisture than the part that touches the floor. Once it absorbs moisture, it will surge, so the service life of pure panel furniture is greatly reduced.

European-style and American-style furniture is generally solid wood veneer furniture. The main structure is made of solid wood, and the rest of the parts are made of boards, and the solid wood part is used to contact the ground and bear the force of the whole piece of furniture, which makes the furniture stronger. The furniture is generally equipped with hand-carved and changing shapes, and the plate part is generally used in the panel, side panel, partition, and back plate part, which are used in a large area of the part, so that the furniture is not easy to deform and twist.

On the surface of the board are pasted with solid wood parquet, the ever-changing parquet pattern, so that the furniture is full of beauty, European and American furniture usually use tenon structure and adhesive when making furniture, so longer service life, the difference between solid wood furniture and particleboard is:

1. Different materials: solid wood furniture is mainly made of solid wood raw materials, and panel furniture is mainly made of various wood-based panels (medium density fiberboard, particleboard, plywood, large core board, etc.) as raw materials;

2. Different structures: solid wood furniture is generally combined with tenon structure, panel furniture is generally assembled with hardware, solid wood furniture is generally fixed and assembled (less disassembled and assembled), and panel furniture can generally be disassembled and assembled;

3. The production process is different: the production process of solid wood furniture is more complex, the production process of panel furniture is relatively simple, and the places with modeling are generally solid wood or gypsum materials.

4. The durability of solid wood furniture is better. Panel furniture is easy to deform and is particularly afraid of water.

5. Solid wood furniture is more environmentally friendly, even E0E1 panel furniture will have formaldehyde release.

There are two kinds of solid wood, pure wood and solid wood, and the store will generally not explain it to you, but you can ask clearly. The particleboard is just a molded board, and the quality with high density is better, and the poor density is easy to deform.

Check the texture of the panel, if the upper and lower sides and the side texture are connected, it is solid wood, otherwise it is wood-based panel veneer.

Look at whether the texture on the top of the furniture panel and the texture on the side are connected, generally if the texture is connected is solid wood, on the contrary, it is a wood-based board, and sometimes the particleboard veneer needs to look at the back texture of the panel.

Quality and taste. Particleboard is a wood-based board, the smell is definitely there, and it is very undurable. Solid wood is much thicker and more durable. The cut of the particleboard does not show the wood grain, and the solid wood does.
