Everyone has a different understanding of home. How can we decorate the most perfect home with limited funds? In home decoration, many homeowners are concerned about the cost of decoration. Therefore, before the decoration, it is necessary to plan well. Only good planning can reduce the cost.
1. Verify the solid wood
One of the mysteries of judging whether it is solid wood furniture is: wood grain and scarring, mainly to see the door panels and side panels.
Techniques: Knotting, wood grain and sections.
Scarring: Look at the location of the side with the scar, and then look for the corresponding pattern on the other side.
Wood grain: It looks like a pattern on the outside, so corresponding to the changing position of this pattern, look at the corresponding pattern on the back of the cabinet door. If it corresponds well, it is pure solid wood.
Section: The section is darker than the panel and can be seen to be made of a single piece of wood.
2. Judgment of tree species
This is a factor that directly affects price and quality.
Ordinary solid wood furniture usually uses beech, white oak, ash, elm, red toon, catalpa, rubber wood, and oak wood, while precious mahogany furniture mainly uses rosewood, chicken wing wood, and rosewood.
The market for solid wood furniture is rather chaotic. There are often shoddy and confused tree species. It is best to buy brand-name products. At the same time, it should be noted that the price of wood is rising day by day, and it is definitely a scam if it is too cheap.
From the cheapest pine and oak wood to the expensive mahogany, the price varies by dozens of times, so don't ignore the tree species just because it is solid wood. In addition, the same tree species also varies according to the place of origin. For example, the price of Finnish pine is generally twice as high as that of domestic pine.
3. Observe the wood
Open furniture cabinet doors and drawers, and observe whether the wood is dry and white, and whether the texture is tight and delicate. If there is furniture made of materials such as particle board, density board and one-time forming board, open the cabinet door or drawer and smell it to see if there is a pungent smell.
4. Inspection strength
The strength of the board surface can be pressed with fingers to feel the firmness of the board surface. One side of the material should be fixed with a well-shaped skeleton. If the skeleton is sparse, you will feel empty and unreal when you press the surface, and the panel will vibrate greatly; the bottom of the drawer should be pressed by hand to test the strength. The clapboard should be made of five-layer board.
5. Check the interface
Heavier furniture should be screwed with protective blocks at the corners and glued. As for the back plate, it is also necessary to check whether it is inlaid well and screw it on.
Good solid wood furniture is connected by means of tenon and groove, and in places where the local load-bearing is relatively large, it is also reinforced by means of screws and protective blocks. If the solid wood furniture you see is all fixed by screws, then the firmness of this kind of furniture is not high. To judge the firmness of furniture, you can judge by shaking the furniture and feeling its stability.
