Solid wood furniture is increasingly favored by many discerning consumers for its calm, atmospheric and calm style. However, solid wood furniture of average quality is easily deformed and deteriorated due to changes in the environment. So as ordinary consumers, how should we judge the quality of solid wood materials? Xiaobian will teach you a few tricks today!
First, verify the solid wood
One of the mysteries of judging whether it is solid wood furniture is: wood grain and scarring, mainly watching the door panels and side panels.
Tips: Scarring, wood grain and cross section.
Scarring: Look at the location of the scarred side, and then look for the corresponding pattern on the other side.
Wood Grain: The appearance looks like a pattern, then corresponding to the position of this pattern change, look at the corresponding pattern on the back of the cabinet door, if it corresponds well, it is pure solid wood.
Section: The color of the section is darker than the panel, and it can be seen that it is made of a whole piece of wood.
In addition, you can remove the sofa cushions with your consent and observe the solid wood frame structure of the sofa. The generally good quality wooden materials have a uniform texture and a compact structure, which looks very clean and white. Then observe that the quality of each connected wood material must be selected without scars and cracks, and there is no broken tenon or broken material in the middle of the wood and wood, which is not a piece of broken material. Finally, check the closing condition of the frame link, it must be handled by the full closing, and the cross section cannot be seen. Another thing is that the paint surface should be even and smooth, without paint leakage.
Second, determine the tree species
The main cost of solid wood furniture is the price of solid wood raw materials and designer design costs, so the more precious the materials used, the higher the price of the sofa. Consumers without professional knowledge can master the principle that the higher the hardness of the wood, the more beautiful the grain, the higher the price. Rare woods include rosewood, huanghuali wood, nanmu, etc. These woods are common materials for high-end Chinese classical furniture, which are difficult to find on the market. The more expensive woods are ash, imported casara, teak, rosewood, rosewood, wenge, pineapple, ebony, beech, maple, red sandalwood, oak, etc. Other common woods are rubber wood, ash, Liuan, pine, fir, tung wood, elm, oak, etc.
From the cheapest pine and oak wood, to the expensive mahogany, the price difference is dozens of times. Therefore, don't consider tree species because it is solid wood. After all, solid wood like pine, in addition to environmental protection, performance is much worse than wood-based panels.
The market for solid wood furniture is relatively chaotic. Things that are sub-optimal and confusing tree species often appear. It is best to buy brand-name products. At the same time, it should be noted that the price of wood is increasing day by day. Too cheap is absolutely fraudulent.
3. Observe the wood
First of all, you can touch the lacquer surface of the solid wood by hand. The touch must be delicate and smooth, and there is no obvious prominent point on the whole.
Open the furniture cabinet door and drawer, and observe whether the wood is dry and white, and whether the texture is tight and delicate. If there is furniture made of chipboard, density board and primary molding board, open the cabinet door or drawer and smell to see if there is an irritating smell.
4. Find defects
The main load-bearing parts of the 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 in the furniture should be edge-sealed, and the installation of various accessories must be indispensable, missing nails, and through nails.
Carefully check the details when buying:
Several defects of solid wood: cracking, scarring, insect eyes, mildew
When buying solid wood furniture, avoid cracking. If there is a scar on the front and the same position on the back, this scar is basically a dead knot. It will fall off after a long time, so furniture with this defect can never be bought. If there are insect eyes, except for those Western-style solid wood furniture that are deliberately engraved with insect eyes, don't buy them. Don't believe that many furniture are known to be dried and degreased, but generally just confuse consumers.
In addition, if there is mildew, the wood is green and has water marks. The performance of moldy wood is quite different from before.
V. Inspection intensity
The strength of the board can be pressed with fingers to feel the firmness of the board. One side of the material should be fixed with a cross-shaped skeleton. If the skeleton is sparse, the surface will feel unreal and the panel will vibrate greatly; the drawer bottom plate should be pressed by hand to test the strength. Generally, the bottom of the partition board is multi-layered. The partition should be made of five-layer board.
For a solid wood sofa, you can sit down and experience it yourself. When sitting, you can shake your body and check the firmness of the sofa frame. A sofa frame with a solid structure will not make a sound as you shake your body. Generally, the sofa as a whole will move as a result of force.
Six, safety performance
Observe whether the drawer or the 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 dresser, 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 nudge the upper corner of the furniture or sit on the side to try to see if the furniture is firm.
Seven, check the interface
The heavier furniture should be protected with screws at the corners and glued well. As for the position of the backplane, you must also check whether it is fitted and the screws are fitted.
Good solid wood furniture is connected by means such as tongue and groove. In places where the local load is relatively large, it is also reinforced by means such as screws and protective blocks. If all the solid wood furniture you see is fixed with screws, the firmness of this type of furniture is not high. To judge the firmness of furniture, you can judge by shaking the furniture to feel its stability.
The modern Chinese solid wood furniture art design style abandons the complicated carvings and patterns of traditional Chinese furniture, and simplifies it as much as possible, in line with the aesthetic viewpoint and spiritual pursuit of modern people, and retains the artistic concept and spiritual symbol of traditional Chinese furniture, capturing most of the young Human heart.
