Home material is very different

The annual “3·15” consumer rights day will come. After the events such as the “white door” of mahogany furniture, consumers have also paid more attention to the issue of furniture materials. The raw materials commonly used in furniture products include wood, leather, and metal. There are various types of furniture, and the grades are very different. How can we tell the difference? We talked about wood furniture this week.

Mahogany furniture:

The "white door" incident still exists

Phenomenon: Redwood market fish beads

At the end of last year, CCTV's "Weekly Quality Report" broadcasted the "White Peel" blackened mahogany furniture program, which exposed some of the phenomenon of mahogany furniture business fraud, set off a shocking "white door" incident in the industry . The mahogany industry has always been deep, the material category is complex, and there is a high demand for professional knowledge. This has made the mahogany market virtually an indescribable deep sea.

Right now, there are several quality problems and counterfeiting methods commonly found in mahogany furniture. First, material falsification: wood with similar wood color and low price is posed as mahogany, such as red iron wood bean jammed with red rosewood, and low-priced mahogany posing as high-priced mahogany, such as African red sandalwood posing as Indian leaflet rosewood; local material is mahogany , But let consumers mistakenly believe that the entire furniture is made of mahogany. Second, the furniture structure is not standardized: if the structure is not in place, or it is not a structure at all, it is glued with nails or glue. Third, the drying problem: Even if the wood is real mahogany, but drying is not in place, it will also seriously affect the quality of furniture products, resulting in cracking, loose racks and other issues, affecting its use, collection and investment value. The fourth is to use word games on the contract to deceive consumers who lack the knowledge of mahogany: If you use an unqualified name to evade responsibility, “black rosewood” and “huanghuali” are all non-scientific names; others have added wording in front of the name of the wood. Such as "grass pear" and "Brazilian pear" are not mahogany. Consumers must look carefully.

Identification: Big brands are more assured

How to prevent it? Experts reminded that: to the brand reputation is good, the company's strong mahogany brand buy rosewood products more secure. In some mahogany furniture stores, you may see some of the furniture material is marked as "Hainan pear" this precious mahogany timber, the industry reminded that the market to see the "Hainan pear" is not the real thing . The huanghuali common in the market is basically produced in Vietnam.

Reminder: Painted mahogany products are not easy to identify

Painted mahogany furniture is more likely to be stinky, and consumers need to be careful about what to buy. Because the paint can cover the white skin, cover the nails and improper structure, cover and dry out of place, many professional mahogany collectors can not determine whether the product has falsified, so the average consumer is best Or choose a big brand product.

Solid wood furniture:

"Pure wood" is not pure

Phenomenon: The concept of "solid wood" flies

Due to natural, environmental protection, durability, and personality, solid wood furniture has been favored by many people who have a certain level of spending power in recent years. Nowadays, the concept of solid wood furniture flies, like "pure wood", "solid wood", "imitation wood", "solid wood veneer", etc. What are they all about?

Identification: apply national standards to identify

According to the relevant person in charge of the Federation House, the most authoritative explanation regarding the concept of solid wood furniture should be based on the new "General Technical Conditions for Wood Furniture" issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision and the National Standardization Administration (GB/T3324-2008). definition. Solid wood furniture refers to furniture made of solid wood sawn wood or solid wood material and painted on the surface; or veneer veneer type veneer (ie veneer) veneer after such surface coating and then coating treatment Furniture, including all solid wood furniture, solid wood furniture, solid wood veneer furniture three categories. The national code also includes the term “all solid wood furniture”. It refers to furniture made of solid wood sawn timber or solid wood panels for all wooden parts (except mirror pallets and fillets). Some businesses say that "pure wood furniture" is not mentioned in the national standards and does not belong to a normative reference.

How to identify solid wood furniture? First of all, wood is a natural thing. If a piece of furniture is repeated with the same texture of wood, it is mostly imitation solid wood furniture with melamine paper. The surface of solid wood furniture can generally see the real texture of the wood, with occasional tree knots. And this texture is through the entire plate, such as a door, the front looks like a pattern, then the back of the corresponding position should also be able to see the corresponding pattern, tree knots can also be corresponding.

Reminder: The same is the difference in wood grades

Solid wood furniture requires high technology and materials. Solid wood selection, drying, finger joints, patchwork and other requirements are very strict, if any one process is not strict, small cracking, loose joints and other phenomena, the largest set of furniture deformation, which can not be used. Different tree species also have great differences in their performance, appearance and value. Domestic common solid wood furniture usually uses beech, white oak, ash, beech, beech, rubber wood, eucalyptus, etc., while the precious mahogany furniture mainly uses rosewood, chicken wing wood, rosewood. The market for solid wood furniture is confusing. It is better to buy brand-name products.

Sheet furniture:

Don't be fooled by the "high-density board"

Phenomenon: It's difficult to identify the plate under a beautiful coat

Because the price is cheaper and the appearance is beautiful, the panel furniture is the first choice for many young people to buy furniture. However, what kind of sheet is under the beautiful coating coat of the panel furniture?

Recognition: Starting from inconspicuous places such as nail openings

If the salesman of the panel furniture tells you that his furniture is made of high-density plates, this is probably not a reliable statement. Because high-density fiberboards have extremely high demands on the machines and their thickness is relatively small, they are generally used only as base materials for composite flooring.

According to the relevant person in charge of the closet wardrobe, the panel furniture including some tailor-made wardrobes, cabinets and other products are commonly used in wood-based panels, and now there are many artificial panels on the market. Such as low-density board, MDF, high-density board, fiberboard, particleboard, etc., are all people can hear the artificial board.

The density of particleboard and the performance of medium density fiberboard are relatively close, but due to the particleboard is pressed by the addition of adhesive to the shavings, its density is not uniform, so its holding force is significantly lower than that of medium density fiberboard. The fiberboard (low-density fiberboard) is poorly produced due to poor technology, low hot-pressing strength, low density, and easily deformed when exposed to water. How to identify particle board and density board? The way to distinguish is to look for some nails in the furniture, or where it is cracked. Look at the substrate inside. If you can see a lot of sawdust, it must be chipboard. If you see the material is the same, the density is uniform. Hard texture, layering is not obvious, it is generally MDF.

Reminder: Attention to formaldehyde residues

In addition to being unreliable, poor quality sheets are prone to problems such as excessive formaldehyde. Everyone must read more and smell more when purchasing. If the plates look dark, most of the quality is not off, and the pungent smell will probably exceed the standard for formaldehyde.
