When buying solid wood furniture, first understand these five points before deciding whether to buy them or not.

It's said that "there's a specialization in the industry". As a layman, Xiaobai, the board furniture, solid wood composite furniture, all-solid wood furniture and so on in the solid wood furniture market are really a bit "silly and unclear". Moreover, there are many types of solid wood materials, and the market styles are overwhelming. In addition, some unscrupulous merchants hinder it, and it's difficult to choose solid wood furniture by playing "word games". Therefore, it's best to know before buying furniture.

Judging true and false solid wood

Many people are worried that the solid wood furniture they buy is wood-based panel or veneer solid wood, so we should master some skills to judge solid wood, mainly from the wood grain and scar knot, mainly observing the door panels and side panels, as well as some lock holes and the like. Where the scar knot is located, the corresponding position on the back should also have corresponding patterns. If it is the same board, the textures of adjacent different faces must be connected, and the color of the cross section should be a little darker than that of the panel, which is simpler if there are lock holes.

Observe the wood and smell it.

Although solid wood furniture is made of natural materials, if the artificial boards that are not in place are treated by technology in the cabinet doors, drawers and backboards, then this furniture is likely to have formaldehyde pollution. The artificial boards are not wrong, but the treatment technology is not enough. Observe whether the invisible wood on these surfaces is dry, white, compact and delicate, and smell whether there is any irritating smell. If so, pay attention to the problem of harmful gas pollution.

Observe some details.

Solid wood furniture has several major defects: cracking, wormholes, mildew, etc. If this happens, it is naturally not recommended to buy it. These have affected the beauty and usability of furniture to a certain extent, especially those with deformation and cracking, and those with green wood and water marks are mildewed.

Whole wood and patchwork

Solid wood furniture of the same material may have a far price difference in different stores. Apart from the material itself, it may also be the problem of whole wood and patchwork. For solid wood furniture, the aesthetic degree and texture of whole wood are the best, with less glue, balanced texture and color transition. Because there are more materials, the cost will be higher, especially for some individual materials, and the whole wood market with big boards is very small, but the patchwork will be more affordable. This depends on personal acceptance.

Coating technology and quality

All-round coating treatment will be carried out on the surface of wood before it leaves the factory. First, it will increase the gloss of wood and enhance its texture. Second, it will preserve wood, isolate wood from air and wear resistance, and can also prolong its service life. Common coating processes include ordinary water-based paint, varnish and wax oil, and pure wax oil. The first one has good water resistance, but the possibility of formaldehyde pollution is also high. The second one has better water resistance and slightly weaker texture performance. The third one can be the best.

Furniture should not only have face value, but more importantly, be practical and easy to use. Good solid wood furniture must give consideration to both aesthetic feeling and practicality, and its simplicity and atmosphere conform to artificial mechanics. When purchasing furniture, don't blindly look at design, and practicality is also very important. Choosing furniture in this way can effectively avoid spending money indiscriminately.
