How to choose furniture
1. Is the furniture material reasonable?
Different furniture has different surface materials. For example, the legs of tables, chairs and cabinets are required to be hard and miscellaneous wood, which is relatively strong and can bear load, and other materials can be used as internal materials; The thickness of wardrobe legs is required to reach 2.5cm, which is too thick and clumsy, and too thin and easy to bend and deform; Kitchen and bathroom cabinets can't use fiberboard, but plywood, because fiberboard will swell and be damaged when it meets water; The dining table should be washable.
It is found that the wood has bug eyes and foam, which indicates that the drying is not complete. After checking the surface, open the cupboard door and drawer door to see if the contents are rotten. You can pinch it with your fingernails, which means that the contents have rotted. Smell it with your nose after opening the cupboard door. If you have a runny nose, glare or tears, it means that the formaldehyde content in the adhesive is too high, which will be harmful to human body.
2. The moisture content of wood shall not exceed 12.
The moisture content of furniture shall not exceed 12%. If the moisture content is high, the wood is easy to warp and deform. When consumers buy, they can only touch the bottom of furniture or places without paint without testing equipment. If they feel wet, the water content is at least 50%, so they can't be used at all. Another way is to sprinkle some water on unpainted wood. If it is slow or not, it means the water content is high.
3. Is the furniture structure firm?
Small pieces of furniture, such as chairs, stools, hangers, etc. When selected, it can be dragged on the concrete floor, and the sound is crisp, indicating that the quality is better; If the voice is hoarse and crackling, it means that the tenon and mortise are not closely combined and the structure is not firm. The writing desk and table can be shaken by hand to see if they are stable. You can sit on the sofa. If you sit on it, it will wriggle, and if you shake it, it will be a nail. It won't take long.
Square tables, bar tables, chairs and other legs should be fixed with four triangular clips. You can turn the tables and chairs upside down and touch them with your hands when choosing.
4. Are the four legs of the furniture flat?
You can know this when you put it on the ground. Some furniture has only three legs from the ground. See if the desktop is straight, and you can't bend your back or bend over. When the desktop rises, the glass plate will rotate; The table top is concave, and the glass plate will break under pressure. Pay attention to check the cupboard door, the parting of the drawer should not be too big, and it should be horizontal, flat, vertical and firm, and the door should not be sunken.
5, veneer furniture flat-fell seam is strict.
Whether it is veneer, PVC or pre-coated paper, we should pay attention to whether the leather is flat, bulging, blistering and loosely spliced.
Look at the light when checking, you can't tell without looking. Fraxinus mandshurica veneer furniture is damaged and can only be used for two years. As far as wood veneer is concerned, shaved veneer is better than rotary veneer. The way to distinguish the two is to look at the wood grain. The wood grain of planed veneer is flat and dense, and the pattern of rotary veneer is sparse. For particleboard-faced furniture, the landing part must be sealed, otherwise the side plate will absorb moisture and expand and be damaged. Generally, the corners of veneered furniture are easy to tilt up. You can buckle the corners by hand when choosing. If it is buckled, it means there is something wrong with the glue.
6. Is the edge of the furniture flat?
Uneven edge sealing means that the inner material is wet and the edge sealing will fall off in a few days. The sealing edge should also be round, not straight and straight. The edges sealed with wooden strips are easy to get wet or crack. For furniture covered with plywood, slats are fixed with nails. Pay attention to whether the nail hole is flat and the color of the nail hole is consistent with other places. Usually nail holes are sealed with putty. Pay attention to whether the putty bulges. If it bulges, it won't work. Slowly, putty will fall out of it.
7. Take a picture of the mirror furniture.
When choosing furniture with mirrors, such as dressing table, dressing mirror, dressing mirror, etc., take a photo to see if the mirror is deformed and discolored, and check whether there is lining paper and backboard at the mercury on the back of the mirror. If there is no backboard, there is no paper, otherwise the mercury will be worn away.
8, paint part should be smooth.
Furniture painted parts should be smooth, flat, without saliva, wrinkles and bumps. The corner part can't be straight at right angles, and the straight edge is easy to collapse and paint. There should also be paint inside the door of furniture. Without paint, the plate is easy to bend and unsightly.
9, accessories installation is reasonable
For example, check whether the door lock switch works; Large cabinets should be equipped with three hidden hinges, and some can't be equipped with only two; It's time to install three screws. Some cut corners and install only one screw, which will fall off when used.
10, sofa, soft bed.
When choosing a sofa and a soft bed, pay attention to the smooth surface and don't be uneven; Soft and hard should be unified, not hard and soft; The hardness should be moderate, not too hard or too soft.
The selection method is to sit down and press it with your hand. Uneven, the spring doesn't ring. If the spring arrangement is unreasonable, the spring will bite and make a noise. Secondly, we should also pay attention to whether there are broken lines and jumpers in quilting and whether the density of angle teeth is reasonable.
1 1, the color should be coordinated with the interior decoration.
Although white furniture is beautiful, it tends to turn yellow after a long time, and black furniture tends to turn gray. At that time, it was not beautiful, and in the end it was white or not. Generally speaking, imitation mahogany furniture is not easy to change color.
