In the face of solid wood furniture on the market , as a consumer, you should first know what kind of solid wood furniture you need to buy, which is all solid wood? Solid wood? Or solid wood veneer furniture? Is it solid wood sawn furniture (natural solid wood furniture)? Or solid wood sheet furniture? Although these are solid wood furniture, they are quite different in terms of materials, craftsmanship and price. After clarifying the primary issues, you should also pay attention to the following aspects when purchasing solid wood furniture :
Â
Â
1. Verification material
Â
What kind of tree is made of solid wood furniture, which directly affects the price and quality of the furniture. Due to the different tree species used, its price can also differ by tens of times. At present, the commonly used tree species of furniture in China are mainly: ash, elm, eucalyptus, camphor, linden, birch, teak, beech, maple, cherry, cypress, fir, pine, oak, catalpa, rubber wood, Toon, jujube, etc., and the precious mahogany furniture mainly includes rosewood, chicken wing wood, rosewood and so on. It should be reminded that the common counterfeit trees currently on the market include: birch pretending to be cherry or maple, Southeast Asian miscellaneous wood fake importing red sandalwood, teak, beech, rubber wood pretending to be oak, and slightly concave Dalbergia pretending to be Dalbergia And pretend to be mahogany with Brazilian rosewood. The identification of tree species generally requires professionals to identify through destructive sampling, so it is recommended that ordinary consumers should pay attention to two points when purchasing such furniture:
Â
1) Choose furniture brands with a certain reputation and regular enterprises with a certain scale ;
Â
2) The type of solid wood furniture and the specific tree species used must be stated on the purchase contract or shopping certificate in order to protect the rights.
Â
In addition, when buying solid wood furniture, you can't just want to be cheap and cheap. As the saying goes: "one price, one price", the price is too low, and the quality cannot be guaranteed.
Â
2. Identify authenticity
Â
At present, the solid wood furniture brand market can be described as a mixture of fish and dragons. In terms of materials alone, there are individual businesses on the market who call joinery board solid wood plywood, plywood solid wood multilayer board, particle board solid wood particle board, and some business people stick artificial board Veneer furniture pretends to be solid wood furniture or some solid wood furniture (only solid wood materials are used in some main parts, and artificial board materials are used in other parts) as solid wood furniture sales to deceive consumers. When identifying such furniture, it is recommended that consumers should master the method of "seeing, knocking, and smelling", as follows:
Â
Look: For all solid wood furniture and solid wood furniture, it mainly depends on the wood grain and knots of the furniture. If it refers to jointing or integrated wood, it also depends on the jointing and jointing. The specific method is to find one or more wood grains, knots, or finger seams on the panel or other parts of the furniture, and then find these wood grains, knots, or finger seams at the corresponding positions on the back of these boards, if the positions correspond to each other Prove that this piece of material is solid wood. If the wood grain, knots, or finger joints cannot be opposed, the material is false. It should be explained here that when looking at wood grain, knots or finger seams, several more parts can be found for verification.
Â
Knocking: For solid wood veneer furniture, it is not so easy to see because the surface is covered with veneer. You can take a knocking method without damaging the furniture. With the fingers on the main part of the furniture, tap the surface of the furniture, the solid wood parts make a crisper sound, and the artificial board sound is low. This method is suitable for all solid wood furniture. When using this method, it can be compared with the knocking sound of known furniture to improve the accuracy of judgment.
Â
Smell: Most solid woods have the smell of wood itself, pine has pine resin smell, cypress wood has light fragrance, camphor wood has obvious camphor wood smell (with spicy feeling), etc., but artificial board materials such as density board, joinery board, plywood, etc. There will be a certain pungent odor, especially in the cabinet door or drawer. If the formaldehyde emission is high, it will also be accompanied by dry eyes, itchy throat, cough and other discomforts. The two are easier to distinguish.
Â
3. Safety performance check
Â
Observe whether the drawer or door frame is tilted, whether the position of the tenon is distorted or the eye is too large, the tenon is not strict, and the parts caused by low process level are skewed. Wooden furniture must have safety and stability. When the two cabinet doors are opened 90 degrees, gently pull forward by hand, the cabinet body should not automatically tilt forward; the glass of the bookcase door must be edged; the dressing mirror and The backboard should be installed on the dressing table , and the glass surface should be fixed by the bead. Individual parts of furniture (such as legs, drawers, cabinet doors, or brackets, etc.) must have sufficient support. You can gently push the upper corner of the furniture or sit on the side to try to see if the furniture is firm and stable.
Â
4. Quality of hardware
Â
Furniture hinges, slides and other metal parts require flexible, smooth, good surface plating treatment, no rust, burrs and sufficient strength. To check the drawer slide, the drawer can be pulled out by 2/3 of the full length, press down by hand in the middle of the upper end surface of the drawer panel, and feel whether the slide is firm and strong.
Â
5. Visual inspection
Â
The slits, chamfers, rounded corners and round lines of the furniture should be uniform, the surface of the furniture should be tight and smooth, pay attention to the natural and smooth wood grain pattern, and don't have the artificial feeling. The paint coating must not have wrinkles, stickiness and paint leakage, and must not have obvious processing marks, scratches, fog, white fluting, white spots, blisters, oily white, sagging, shrinkage, bristles, accumulated powder and Sundries.
Â
The main load-bearing parts of furniture, such as uprights, load-bearing horizontal bars between the uprights and the ground, should not have large knots or cracks. The structure is firm, the frame must not be loose, and the tenon and material are not allowed to be broken. The parts of the artificial board used on the furniture should be edge-sealed, and the installation of various accessories must be indispensable, missing nails, and through nails.
Â
In addition, the hidden parts of the drawer of the furniture, the inside of the cabinet door, etc. should be inspected to see if the workmanship is fine. Press the drawer bottom plate, cabinet shelf and other bearing parts to see if they have sufficient strength.
Â
6. Ask for product certificate and instruction manual
Â
The furniture product certificate and instruction manual detail the furniture production date, implementation standards, product grade, manufacturer and scope of furniture, use environment, maintenance, maintenance and after-sales service. These information can guide consumers on the one hand The correct use, maintenance and maintenance of solid wood furniture; on the other hand, when the furniture has quality problems or disputes, the relevant information of the certificate and instruction manual becomes an important basis for the quality functional department to handle quality disputes.
