When buying furniture, most people pay attention to the appearance of the furniture, but do n’t know much about how to identify the quality. Insiders have suggested that we can identify the quality of furniture from many nuances.

Detection of wood dryness and humidity

When the moisture content is high, the wood will easily warp and deform. Generally, the moisture content of furniture must not exceed 12%. Consumers generally do not bring their own when buying furniture

Test equipment, so you can take a hand touch method to touch the bottom of the furniture or the unpainted area inside. If you feel moisture, then the moisture content of the wood is at least 50% or higher, and it is not suitable for purchase.

Another way is to sprinkle a little water on the unpainted area of ​​the wood. If the absorption rate is slow or not absorbed at all, it means that the moisture content of the wood is high. If it is found that the wood-based panel is deformed, the edges are expanded and the middle is uneven, it means that the water absorption rate of the wood is too high.

Examine the materials of furniture

The surface material of furniture generally requires the use of hard miscellaneous wood materials, such as Fraxinus mandshurica, alder, etc. These wood materials are relatively strong and can bear weight, while other materials can be used for internal materials; the thickness of the legs of the closet must be 2.5 cm If it is too thick, it will become awkward and thin, and it is easy to bend and deform. You cannot use fiberboard in kitchen and bathroom cabinets, but you should use plywood because fiberboard is strong in water absorption, it will swell and damage in water; tables in restaurants should be washable.

If the wood has worm eyes and foaming, it means that the wood is not completely dried. Such furniture cannot be bought because the worm eyes will become larger and larger. After checking the surface, you should also open the home cabinet door and drawer door to see if the contents are decaying. You can use your nails to pinch them, and if you can easily pierce them, it means that the contents have decayed. After opening the furniture cabinet door, smell it with your nose. If there are nasal flushes, glare, and tears, it means that the formaldehyde content in the adhesive is too high, which will endanger human health.

Whether the structure is firm

When selecting small pieces of furniture such as chairs, stools, hangers, etc., you can drag on the concrete floor and gently drop it. If the sound is crisp, it means that the furniture is of good quality; if the sound is dumb, there is a murmur of splitting, indicating that The mortise is not tightly combined and the structure is not strong. For writing desks, tables and other furniture, you can shake it by hand to see if it is stable. For a sofa, sitting down, shaking from side to side, inactivity, no softness, no sound, indicating that the mortise structure is more reliable.

Are the four feet flat?

Whether the furniture's four feet are flat, just shake the furniture on the flat ground and know. Some furniture has only three legs to the ground, and stability is definitely not good. Also look at the table top to see if it is straight, do not bow or slump. If the table top is raised, the glass plate will spin up; if the table top is recessed, the glass plate will break when pressed. In addition, pay attention to checking the door of the cabinet. The slit of the drawer should not be too large. It should be flat and straight, and the door cannot sag.

Whether the edging and sealing are smooth and firm

The edge banding is uneven, indicating that the inner material is wet, and the edge band will fall off after a long time of use. Edge banding is best rounded, not right-angled. Edges sealed with wooden strips are prone to moisture or chipping; furniture wrapped with plywood is nailed at the strips. Pay attention to whether the nail holes are flat and whether the nail holes are consistent with other colors. Nails are usually closed with putty. Pay attention to whether the putty bulges. If it bulges, the putty will fall out of it after a long time.

Check the quality of the mirror

When choosing furniture with mirrors, such as dressing tables, clothes mirrors, dressing mirrors, etc., you should take a picture to see if the mirror is deformed and discolored. Check whether there is a liner and a backing sheet at the mercury part of the mirror. The board is not qualified, and it is not good without paper, because it will rub away the mercury.

Whether the paint is smooth

The painted part of the furniture should be smooth, flat, non-spitting, wrinkle-free and free of pimple. The corners cannot be right-angled, because the right-angled edges are easy to chip and paint off. The inside of the cabinet door should also be painted with a paint, otherwise the board is easy to bend.

Hardware accessories

Pay attention to whether the installation of the hardware accessories of the furniture is complete, regular and reasonable. For example, check that the door lock switch is not working properly; the large cabinet should be equipped with 3 concealed hinges and 3 reels.

Sofa and soft bed are moderately soft and hard

When choosing a sofa or soft bed, pay attention to the surface should be flat, not uneven, and the hardness should be moderate. The selection method is to sit and hold it with your hands to see if the spring does not ring. If the arrangement of the spring is not reasonable, causing the spring to bite, it will make a sound. Secondly, we should pay attention to whether the quilting is broken or jumper, and whether the density of the corner teeth is reasonable.
