Buying solid wood furniture , in addition to looking at whether the furniture style and size are suitable, we must start with every detail and carefully select to choose the right and quality furniture.
1. Determine whether the furniture is really made of solid wood, or indicate where the solid wood and artificial board are.
See through the mysteries of solid wood: wood grain and scars. This is a method disclosed by insiders to identify whether the whole piece of solid wood. For example, a cabinet door looks like a pattern on the outside, then look at the corresponding pattern on the back of the door corresponding to the position where the pattern changes. If it corresponds well, it is a solid wood cabinet door. In addition, looking at the scar knot is also a good way to identify pure wood: look at the location of the side with the scar, and then look for the corresponding pattern on the other side.
2. What kind of tree is made of solid wood, which directly affects the price and quality.
Ordinary solid wood furniture usually adopts beech, white oak, ash, elm, catalpa, rubber wood, oak wood, while the precious mahogany furniture mainly uses "rosewood, chicken wing wood, rosewood wood". The market for solid wood furniture is relatively chaotic. Things that are sub-optimal and confusing tree species often occur. It is best to buy brand-name products. Also note that the price of wood can only be higher and higher. Too cheap is absolutely fraudulent.
3. Observe the advantages and disadvantages of wood.
Open the doors and drawers of the solid wood furniture , and observe whether the wood is dry and white, and whether the texture is tight and delicate. If the furniture made of particle board, density board and primary molding board is used, it is required that there is no irritating smell after opening the cabinet door or drawer.
4. Observe the wood for defects.
The main stress-bearing parts of solid wood furniture such as uprights and load-bearing horizontal bars connecting the uprights to the ground shall not have large knots, cracks or cracks. The structure is firm, the frame must not be loose, and the tenon and material are not allowed to be broken. Do not buy "three households and one set" that saws and saws the chipboard, nails and nails, and paints and paints; do not buy furniture made with "three nos" drawers that are easy to help, have no tenons and no bottom. . 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.
5. Observe the surface strength.
The board emphasizes that you can press with your fingers to feel the fastness of the board. One side of the material should be fixed with a cross-shaped fixed frame. If the skeleton is sparse, you will feel the void is not solid when you press the surface, and the panel vibrates greatly; the drawer bottom plate should be pressed by hand to test the strength. Generally, the bottom of the partition plate is multi-layered, with a large area The partition should be made of five-layer board. Cabinet doors and drawer switches should be flexible. When the panel is covered with thin wood and other materials, the color and luster of the complete set of products should be similar.
6. Observe whether the drawer or the door frame is tilted, whether the tenon's eye position is distorted or the eye is too large, and the tenon is not strict.
Wooden furniture must have safety and stability. When the two cabinet doors are opened 90 degrees, gently pull forward by hand, the cabinet body cannot automatically tilt forward; the glass of the bookcase door must be edged; 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 support enough. You should nudge the upper corner of the furniture or sit on the side to try to see if the furniture is firm.
7. Are the sides, top, front and back of the furniture jointed with tenon joints, tongue and groove joints, or double dowel joints?
It is better to choose dovetail joint or butterfly joint.
The heavier furniture should be protected with screws at the corners and glued well. As for the position of the back plate, it must also be checked whether it is fitted and the screws are fitted.
8. Check the slide rail and latch of the drawer.
The drawer should be solid and firm, and tighten the screws inside. May wish to pull open the drawer, movable table, cabinet door and other parts to ensure that it can be used freely and connected correctly.
9. Put your hand on the surface of the furniture, and carefully check whether the polished surface is smooth, especially to avoid the roughness of the legs and other parts.
Are there any streaks in the paint? Are the paint at the corners too thick? Are there any cracks or bubbles?
10. Turn the chair and cushioned furniture upside down and see how they are made.
As for the table, check from the bottom. See if the seam is reinforced with screws and wedges? Are the slats tightly connected to the crossbars? Are there any excess glue and fillers in the seams?
11. Pay special attention to the moisture content and origin of solid wood furniture wood.
The climate in various regions of the country has an impact on the wood moisture content. The wood moisture content should not be higher than 1% of the local equilibrium moisture content in the use area. Otherwise, the wood will easily cause the separation of the tenon and the mortise, the furniture will fall apart, and will also cause warpage . Therefore, it is not important to buy mahogany furniture produced by drying equipment and enterprises with good drying technology. The mahogany furniture produced locally or overseas is not important. The key is whether the moisture content is consistent with the equilibrium moisture content in the area of ​​use. There is an old saying, "Solid wood is no more than the Yangtze River", which means that solid wood furniture produced in the south will be prone to cracking, deformation and other problems due to the influence of climate on the moisture content. So when you buy, you have to look at the place of origin.
