Solid wood bed selection knowledge
1. Determine whether the solid wood bed is really made of solid wood:
Skills: scars, wood grains and cross-sections.
Scar: Look at the location of the scarred side, and then look for the corresponding pattern on the other side.
Wood grain: The appearance looks like a pattern, so according to the position of the pattern change, look at the corresponding pattern on the back. If the correspondence is very good, it is pure solid wood
Section: The color of the section is darker than the panel, and it can be seen that it is made of a whole piece of wood
2. Look at the tree species: What kind of tree is solid wood made of, which directly affects the price and quality. From the cheapest pine, oak, to expensive mahogany, the prices vary by dozens of times. Therefore, don’t ignore tree species just because it is solid wood. After all, solid wood like pine wood has a much worse performance than artificial boards in addition to environmental protection.
3. When judging the origin of the solid wood bed manufacturer:
Pay special attention to the origin of the solid wood bed wood manufacturer. There is an old saying: "Solid wood is just the Yangtze River" means that after the solid wood bed produced in the south reaches the north, the moisture content will affect the climate, which will easily cause cracking, deformation and other problems. So when purchasing, you must check the origin clearly.
4. Observe whether there are defects in wood: several major defects of solid wood: cracking, scarring, insect eyes, and mold. Check each detail carefully when purchasing.
Cracking: Of course you can't buy it.
Scar: If there is a scar on the front, there will be this scar on the same position on the back. This scar is basically a dead knot. It will fall off over time. Therefore, furniture with this defect cannot be bought.
Mold: If the wood turns green and has water marks, you cannot buy it. Although the sales aunt will tell you that it has been dried, no problem. But think about it, will you still eat moldy bread after it is processed? The properties of moldy wood are no longer the same as before.
Word Eye: Although many furniture is claimed to have been dried and degreased, think about China's size, there are so many furniture factories, and the national management is so weak, the credibility is at least 50% off. Except for those Western-style solid wood beds that are specially carved with insect eyes, don’t buy anything else.
5. Look at the paint quality of solid wood bed surface:
The most feared thing about solid wood furniture is water and fire. Needless to say, there is an old saying about fearing water: dry for thousands of years, wet for thousands of years, dry for thousands of years, dry for wet for the New Year. It is about solid wood that is afraid of water. The most effective way to prevent moisture from invading the solid wood bed. Therefore, you should carefully check whether the solid wood bed has been painted.
6. Look at the connections of each part of the solid wood bed:
Good solid wood beds are connected by tongue and groove, and are reinforced by screws and protective blocks in places with relatively large local load bearing. If the solid wood beds you see are all fixed by screws, then the firmness of this type of solid wood bed is not high. To determine the firmness of the solid wood bed, you can judge by shaking the solid wood bed to feel its stability.
