There are too many solid wood furniture routines. How can I not be fooled by buying solid wood furniture?

When talking about home collocation, it is easy to make people suffer from selection difficulties! In today's colorful home materials, solid wood is our inevitable choice. I believe that each household has so many pieces of "solid wood furniture". However, are you really right? !



Merchant's "solid wood" VS your "solid wood"


What our consumers think of as "solid wood furniture" is furniture made from a full-length log and then coated with a layer of varnish.


But when we walked into the store and listened to the merchant's promotion, we were completely ignorant! Because in the eyes of some businesses, everything that touches the wood seems to be called "solid wood furniture".


So, what exactly is real solid wood furniture? Let's explain in turn.




"Types of furniture materials"



The real wood category.



log


Log furniture is a plate that is processed after the tree is directly broken. The production and design structure pay attention to simplicity and nature, strong and durable.


â–² The logs are made of pure natural materials.



Straight puzzle


Straight puzzle is a plate made of wood splicing. Simply put, straight puzzle is the most authentic and genuine solid wood furniture.


â–² The picture above clearly shows the natural color difference caused by the splicing of the straight bars



Finger joint plate / tooth joint plate


The ends of the two pieces of wood are made into teeth, and the middle is glued together, called the finger joint plate. It can also be understood as two wooden boards crossed together like a finger. The strength of good finger-joined wood is no less than that of straight panel, and the wood is not easy to deform and bend.


â–² The left is the tooth joint plate / the right is the finger joint plate


Regarding this kind of material, Liqiao just wants to send you a sentence: Except for expensive things, there are basically no shortcomings. (Of course, there are still some shortcomings if you really find it. Welcome curious friends to leave a message ~)



A worker who worked in a furniture factory once told me that the raw materials made in their factory were never sent in a whole piece of wood. They were all synthetic boards and compressed boards. The lines seen on the surface were just a layer of film.


So: Don't pay for the solid wood, take the composite board furniture.



Veneer Board


Typical hanging sheep head, selling dog meat. This is a common material used by many businesses to confuse consumers. They put low-cost furniture made of composite panels on a layer of solid wood skin, and then painted it, disguised as solid wood furniture to sell.


▲ This is how the “solid wood board” that you can buy on a treasure for hundreds of dollars.



Multilayer solid wood board


Multi-layer solid wood board is made by pressing multi-layer single board or thin board. It is easy to recognize that this type of board is also called plywood. The larger the amount of glue, the better the formaldehyde problem.


It is the first of the national standard artificial wood, so it certainly cannot be counted in the realm category.

Composite board


Composite board, also known as artificial board, is the most common wooden board in furniture such as wardrobes, tables and chairs.


Particleboard, MDF, fiberboard, solid wood particle board, MDF, large core board ... These are made of crushed wood, wood chips, wood fiber and various adhesives. The formaldehyde content is high, and it is definitely not solid wood.


â–² The background wall is made of composite board


Qianqianqian, how expensive is solid wood?


Speaking of solid wood furniture, in addition to quality, there is another problem is money! How do we know if it is real solid wood? Oak Bridge gives some reference suggestions here.


1. Look at the price. There are a lot of wood commonly used for solid wood furniture. Don't lose it because you want to make some small and cheap things. Here are some suitable and suitable wood. (The following reference prices fluctuate slightly depending on factors such as market and process standards.)


The average price of pine: 1000 ~ 2000 yuan / m3



Pine furniture is the cheapest of solid wood furniture, and its color and texture are also suitable for the popular log style decoration nowadays.


Average price of birch: 2500 ~ 3000 yuan / m3



Birch is relatively cheap, the overall texture is straight and obvious, the texture is soft or moderate, and it deforms after finishing, so it is rare to use all tables and chairs made of birch, which are mostly used as core materials or inlay materials for other furniture .


The average price of Japanese ash: 2500 ~ 3000 yuan / m3



Fraxinus mandshurica is also a relatively common wood in furniture, and its price is relatively hard and wear-resistant compared to pine furniture. Its biggest feature is the clear and beautiful wood grain, good corrosion resistance, water resistance, toughness, and good decoration.


Elm (elm) average price: 3000 ~ 4500 yuan / m3



Elm wood is mostly used in traditional Chinese furniture, especially in Ming and Qing furniture, and it is called "North Elm Southern Beech" with beech wood produced in the south.


Beech average price: 3500 ~ 5000 / m3



Beech wood has always been a common material for Chinese folk furniture, and many of the Ming and Qing furniture passed down are beech wood furniture.


2. Smell the smell. You may be able to smell natural and fresh solid wood furniture with good wood furniture, but the glued wood must have a long, pungent glue and paint smell. The formaldehyde of this kind of board must exceed the standard, which needs attention.



3. Look at the texture. The most beautiful of the middle and high-grade solid wood furniture is the texture, which shows the wood grain, which is natural and vivid, and it is relatively high-quality wood without faults.
