Several considerations for choosing furniture
In the furniture market with a wide variety of products, the quality of the products is mixed, and it is difficult for non-professional consumers to distinguish the authenticity. professional. But in fact, very few people can spend so much energy. So I've put together a few notes for reference.
Whether the furniture material is reasonable
Different furniture has different surface materials. For example, the legs of tables, chairs and cabinets are required to be made of hard miscellaneous wood, which is relatively strong and can bear weight, while other materials can be used for internal materials; the thickness of the legs of the large wardrobe is required to reach 2.5cm. Deformation; kitchen and bathroom cabinets can not be made of fiberboard, but plywood should be used, because fiberboard will swell and damage when exposed to water; dining table should be washable.
Whether to cut corners, whether to use inferior substrates
It is found that the wood has insect eyes and foam, indicating that the drying is not complete. After checking the surface, open the cabinet door and drawer door to see if the inner material is rotten. You can pinch it with your fingernail. If you pinch it in, it means that the inner material is rotten. After opening the door of the cabinet, smell it with your nose. If your nose is irritated, dazzling, or weeping, it means that the formaldehyde content in the adhesive is too high, which is harmful to the human body.
The wood moisture content does not exceed 12%
The moisture content of furniture should not exceed 12%. If the moisture content is high, the wood is easy to warp and deform. When general consumers buy, there is no test instrument, they can use the method of hand touch, and touch the bottom surface of the furniture or the unpainted place inside. Another way is to sprinkle a little water on the unpainted part of the wood. If the bleed is slow or not, it means that the moisture content is high.
Is the furniture structure firm?
Small pieces of furniture, such as chairs, stools, hangers, etc., can be dragged on the concrete floor when selected, and dropped gently. The sound is crisp, indicating that the quality is good; if the sound is hoarse and there is a crackling noise, it means Mortise joint is not tight, the structure is not strong. Writing desks and tables can be shaken by hand to see if they are stable. The sofa can be sat on, if you sit on it, it will squeak and squeak, and it will shake when it is shaken. It is nail work, and it will not take long.
There should be four triangular clips on the legs of the square table, bar table, chair, etc., which play a fixed role. When choosing, you can turn the table and chair upside down to take a look, and the cloth-covered chair can be touched with your hand.
Are the four legs of the furniture flat?
If you lay it flat on the ground, you will know that some furniture only has three legs to the ground. Check to see if the table top is straight and not hunched or slumped. When the tabletop is raised, the glass plate will spin; if the tabletop is recessed, the glass plate will be broken when pressed. Pay attention to check the cabinet door, the drawer should not be too large, and the door should not sag.
mirror furniture
Choose furniture with mirrors, such as dressers, dressing mirrors, and full-length mirrors. Take a look at it to see if the mirror is deformed and discolored. Check whether there is a lining paper and a backboard at the mercury at the back of the mirror. Qualified, not without paper, otherwise the mercury will be ground off.
The paint part should be smooth
The paint part of the furniture should be smooth and flat, no spit, no wrinkle, no pimples. The corners should not have straight edges and right angles, and the straight edges are prone to slag and paint peeling. The door of the furniture should also be covered with a layer of paint. Without paint, the board is easy to bend, and it is not beautiful.
Whether the installation of accessories is reasonable
For example, check whether the door lock switch works; the large cabinet should be equipped with three hidden hinges, and some only have two; .
Sofa and soft bed to sit on
When picking sofas and soft beds, you should pay attention to the surface should be flat, not uneven; the hardness should be uniform, but not one hard and the other soft; the hardness should be moderate, neither too hard nor too soft.
