How to choose good quality furniture?

People say that buying furniture is a knowledge. If you buy solid wood furniture, you need to carefully examine it when choosing. Because there are many types of solid wood in the furniture market now, and the furniture chaos is very serious. How to choose good quality furniture? Let us see Xiaobian for you on this point.

1. How to identify whether it is solid wood?

The important point to judge whether it is solid wood furniture is wood grain and scar. If the appearance of the furniture looks like a pattern, then follow the changing position of the pattern to see if there is a corresponding pattern on the back. If it corresponds well, it means it is pure solid wood furniture. In addition, looking at wood scars is also a good way to identify solid wood: also look at the location of the scarred side, and then look for the corresponding pattern on the other side.

2. What are the common solid wood materials?

Material directly affects the price and quality of furniture. Ordinary solid wood furniture is usually made of beech, white oak, ash, elm, catalpa, rubber wood, oak, while the relatively expensive mahogany furniture mainly uses rosewood, wenge, and rosewood. The market of solid wood furniture is worrying, and there are often shoddy and confusing materials. Therefore, consumers are better off buying brand-name products. At the same time, they should pay attention to the rising price of wood. Too cheap is generally not reliable.

3. How to identify the quality of solid wood?

Open furniture cabinet doors and drawers to observe whether the wood is dry, white, and whether the texture is tight, uniform and delicate. The editor reminds that if it is furniture made of materials such as particleboard, density board and one-time forming board, it is necessary to open the cabinet door or drawer and smell it to see if there is a pungent odor.

4. Observe whether the wood is defective or not

The load-bearing capacity of furniture is very important, so the foot column, column and other parts must not go wrong. The components of the wood-based panels used on the furniture should be strictly edge-sealed, and the installation of various accessories must be done with missing pieces, missing nails, and through nails.

5. Observe the strength of the board surface

The strength of the board can be directly pressed with fingers to feel the fastness of the board. The material on one side should be fixed with a well-shaped skeleton. If the skeleton is sparse, the surface will feel empty and unreal when pressed, and the panel will vibrate obviously; the bottom of the drawer should be pressed by hand to test the strength. It should be made of five-layer board. The switches of cabinet doors and drawers should be flexible. When the panel is covered with veneer and other materials, the color should be similar to that of the complete set of products, and the paint film on the surface of the product should not be wrinkled, sticky or leaked.

6. Check stability and security

Observe whether the drawer or door frame is inclined, whether there is a skewed eye position of the tenon or the eye hole is too large, whether there is a skewed part caused by the low level of craftsmanship, such as whether the tenon is not strict. According to the editor's understanding, wooden furniture must have certain safety and stability. When the two cabinet doors are opened 90 degrees, and the hand is gently pulled in the direction where you are, the cabinet should not automatically tip forward; the bookcase The glass of the door should be edging; the full-length mirror and dressing table should be installed with a back panel, and the glass surface should be firmly fixed by the bead. Individual parts of furniture (such as legs, drawers, cabinet doors or brackets, etc.) must be supported firmly enough. You can nudge the upper corners of the furniture or sit on the side to test furniture stability.
