Nowadays, solid wood furniture is more and more popular among consumers. The reason is nothing more than three points, that is, solid wood furniture is more environmentally friendly, has a longer service life and is more secure. Indeed, in general, solid wood furniture has the above advantages over panel furniture, but it cannot be generalized, otherwise it will easily fall into the misunderstanding of consumption.
Solid wood furniture is divided into three categories
What is solid wood furniture? The intuitive impression of most consumers is: “Solid wood furniture is relative to panel furniture, that is, furniture made entirely of solid wood.†In fact, this understanding is not accurate. .
According to the "General Technical Conditions for Wood Furniture" (GB/T3324-2008), which was implemented on May 1, 2009, solid wood furniture is made of solid wood sawn timber or solid wood sheet, and the surface is finished with finished furniture; or here The finished substrate is made of solid wood veneer or veneer (wood veneer) and then finished with finishing treatment. Solid wood board refers to the solid wood material formed by secondary processing of wood such as joint material and laminated timber.
The above standards divide solid wood furniture into three categories, namely solid wood furniture, solid wood furniture, and solid wood veneer furniture. Among them, all solid wood furniture refers to all wood parts (except mirror pallets and beading) are made of solid wood sawn timber or solid wood panels; solid wood furniture refers to the substrate is made of solid wood sawn timber or solid wood panels, the surface is not covered The furniture, that is, the frame that people usually understand, uses solid wood, while the top, bottom, partition and other components use furniture such as particleboard or MDF veneer; solid wood veneer furniture refers to the substrate using solid wood sawn timber or solid wood board. Furniture made of wood veneer or veneer (wood veneer).
It is not difficult to find from the above classification that as long as the main structure of the furniture uses solid wood material, the door panel, the back panel or the side panels can be called solid wood furniture even if the solid wood material is not used. It can be seen that many consumers equate solid wood furniture with all solid wood furniture.
"Zero Formaldehyde" is impossible to achieve
The reason why we must first understand the concept of solid wood furniture is because many people think that solid wood furniture is environmentally friendly furniture. “The solid wood furniture is made of natural wood and is made of enamel structure. It does not use various adhesives, so it is more environmentally friendly than the panel furniture.†In the interview, a consumer told reporters.
The reporter's investigation found that people's special attention to furniture environmental protection also makes solid wood furniture very popular, but in fact, "solid wood furniture is environmentally friendly furniture" is too one-sided.
In addition to solid wood furniture, solid wood furniture and solid wood veneer furniture may use non-solid wood components, such as the side panels, bottom, and partitions of the furniture, it is possible to use particleboard, fiberboard and other artificial panels; as long as these materials are used It is bound to produce formaldehyde pollution. Compared with all solid wood furniture, the environmental protection of the two should be discounted.
Look at all solid wood furniture. Wood does come from nature before it is processed. However, in the process of making solid wood furniture, wood also needs to undergo a series of treatments such as insect prevention, mildew proofing, sizing, painting, etc. The materials used in the processing also contain harmful substances. Therefore, even the best wood, as long as the use of glue, paint, etc., will contain formaldehyde, especially solid wood furniture in the production process commonly used oil paint, which will cause it to contain formaldehyde, benzene and total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), etc. A variety of harmful substances. Therefore, it is not correct to think that all solid wood furniture can achieve "zero pollution".
According to the reporter's understanding, in recent years, some small and medium-sized furniture companies have repeatedly seen the media in the phenomenon of false realities. Most of them use the weaknesses of consumers who do not understand the relevant national standards, and sell artificial wood furniture as solid wood furniture or frame solid wood furniture and solid wood veneer furniture. Pretending to sell all solid wood furniture, thus drawing high profits, many consumers were deceived.
Long life condition
Many people prefer solid wood furniture, in addition to thinking that it is more environmentally friendly, there is another important reason is that it has a long service life. In their view, the life of solid wood furniture can last for decades or even hundreds of years, and it will be left to future generations as a heirloom. Indeed, the life of solid wood furniture is longer than that of sheet metal furniture, but it must meet certain storage conditions, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve.
The biggest disadvantage of solid wood furniture is that it is easy to deform and difficult to maintain. For example, solid wood furniture should not be exposed to direct sunlight, and the environment should not be too cold or too hot, otherwise it will easily cause deformation. In addition, the environment in which solid wood furniture is placed should be adjusted to adjust the humidity. If the air is too dry or wet, it will cause damage.
Inferior solid wood furniture is more prone to problems due to the complexity of the wood used. For example, due to the different moisture content of the wood used, in the summer, the wood is prone to expansion, which leads to deformation of the furniture structure and looseness of the furniture, thereby shortening the service life.
Buy can't just look at wood
Consumers who have purchased solid wood furniture know that the same chair, the value of mahogany may be up to tens of thousands of yuan, and the pine is only a few hundred dollars. The reason for the huge price difference between the two is that the wood used is different. When buying solid wood furniture, many people think that choosing wood is the selection of the grade, but it is not. Choosing solid wood furniture, in addition to looking at the wood, depends on the work.
There is a saying in the furniture industry that “three-pointed seven-point art†means that wood is only the foundation, and that there must be deep and exquisite skills to turn wood into fine furniture.
Most of the solid wood furniture is connected by æ¦«å¯ structure, so the firmness of the æ¦«å¯ structure and whether it is tight or not is an important sign to judge the quality of a solid wood furniture. The technology of the woodworking technicians is also reflected in the production and installation of the enamel. Every line and every surface of the solid wood furniture must be just right, so that it can be called a fine product.
In addition, the painting of solid wood furniture is also very important. High-quality paints have the advantages of high surface transparency, beautiful appearance, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance and chemical resistance, which make the furniture surface look smoother and meet the national environmental standards.
On the whole, if you buy solid wood furniture, you can't just look at the wood, but also look at its design, workmanship, spraying and other aspects. Especially for the average consumer, it is more important to pay attention to the work of solid wood furniture, otherwise the best materials, poor work, can not be called boutique.
