Solid wood furniture because of its special material, generally will not be too cheap. But it is not true that the furniture made of solid wood must be more expensive than that of other boards. The trees are different and the prices are different. Today, I'd like to introduce to you what parts of solid wood furniture are selected and how to select good solid wood furniture?
The first move is to judge whether the furniture is really made of solid wood
Key points: mainly watch the door plate and side plate;
Technique: scarring, wood grain and cross section;
Scab: look at the location of the scar side, and then look for the corresponding pattern on the other side.
Wood grain: it looks like a kind of pattern on the surface, so corresponding to the position of the pattern change, look at the corresponding pattern on the back of the cabinet door. If the corresponding pattern is very good, it is pure solid wood.
Section: the color of the section is darker than that of the panel, and it can be seen that it is made of whole wood.
Second, look at tree species
What kind of solid wood is made of, which directly affects the price and quality. From the more affordable pine, oak, to expensive mahogany, the price difference is many times. Therefore, don't ignore the tree species just because it is solid wood; in addition, from the environmental protection performance, solid wood is better than ordinary boards.
The third move is to observe whether the wood has defects
Several major defects of solid wood: cracking, scarring, wormhole, mildew. Check the details carefully when buying.
Cracking: naturally can't buy.
Scab: if there is a scar on the front and the same position on the back, the scar is basically a dead knot, which will fall off after a long time. Therefore, furniture with such defects cannot be bought.
Wormhole: Although many furniture claim to be dried and degreased, if you think China is so big, there are so many furniture factories, and the state management is so weak, the credibility should be at least 50%. In addition to those Western-style solid wood furniture, specially carved on their own wormholes, other are not to buy
Mildew: wood is green, water mark phenomenon can not buy. Although the sales aunt will tell you that it has been dried, no problem. But if you think about it, can you still eat moldy bread after reprocessing? The performance of moldy wood is not the same as before.
Fourth move, look at the connection of various parts of furniture
Good solid wood furniture, are using mortise and other ways of connection, in the local load-bearing relatively large place, but also using screws and protection blocks and other ways of reinforcement. If you see the solid wood furniture, all of which are fixed with screws, then the firmness of this kind of furniture is not high. To judge the firmness of furniture, you can take to shake the furniture and feel its stability.
Fifth, look at the quality of furniture surface paint
Solid wood furniture is most afraid of water and fire. Fire needless to say, about fear of water, there is an old saying: dry for thousands of years, wet for thousands of years, dry wet wet can not pass the new year. It's about wood's fear of water. And the furniture surface, especially to prevent moisture invasion furniture the most effective way. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully check whether the furniture has not been painted. The key points are: the top and bottom of the cabinet door panel, and the interior of the big cabinet. Touch the paint surface by hand to see if there are burr and bubble.
The sixth move, look at the details of furniture drawer
Drawers should be solid and firm with screws tightened inside. May as well open the drawer, the movable table top, the cabinet door and so on each part, guarantees can use freely, and the correct connection. The drawer bottom plate has a certain thickness, and the drawer bottom plate is connected by slot instead of nail connection.
