The furniture market confuses the concept of solid wood furniture to teach you three tricks to distinguish between true and false

Recently, it is the peak season for major furniture market discounts. Due to environmental protection and health, solid wood furniture has always been favored by consumers. Some dealers have used this to create “partial solid wood”, “modern solid wood” and “sheet solid wood”. And other concepts, the sale of solid wood furniture is actually not "real." Jiang Hongyuan, president of Zhejiang Furniture Association, believes that since the implementation of the standard "General technical conditions for wooden furniture" in May 2009, solid wood furniture has been strictly divided into three categories: solid wood furniture, solid wood furniture and solid wood veneer furniture. Made an accurate definition, in addition to carefully observing the product, the consumer must also check the product description provided by the merchant.

Solid wood furniture and integrated wood furniture are not difficult to identify

Solid wood furniture concept

On the second floor of the Oriental Furniture Market, a salesperson specializing in the sale of wooden furniture said that they are professional producers of solid wood furniture. The woods are from the Yinzhou area of ​​Zhejiang. When the reporter asked if a wooden table was all solid wood furniture. The salesperson confidently stated that according to national standards, a piece of furniture can be called solid wood furniture as long as it has 20% solid wood composition. Their table top is a patch of wood fiberboard, and all four legs are full. Solid wood, solid wood has at least 50% specific gravity, and is called "modern solid wood" furniture.

Another clerk at the wooden furniture counter said that it is impossible to have 100% solid wood furniture in China. Their product frame is solid wood, that is, the main force components are solid wood, the auxiliary materials are solid wood sandwich panels, solid wood sandwich The board is also a solid wood. According to the current market, 60%-70% of the solid wood components can be regarded as solid wood.

On the second floor of the boutique area of ​​the East China Furniture Market, a clerk of the counter introduced that their cabinets are solid wood furniture combined with wood and wood. The support points are all ash, and the middle plate is made of eucalyptus granules. Hydraulically formed, it is called "solid wood pellets" furniture.

However, when the reporter asked to purchase these "solid wood furniture" and indicated "all solid wood furniture" on the invoice, they all said that they could not meet this requirement.

The country has made a strict definition of wooden furniture.

Jiang Hongyuan, president of Zhejiang Furniture Association, said that in fact, the concept of solid wood furniture has not been very clear. Until the new version of the "General Technical Conditions for Wood Furniture" standard was officially implemented on May 1, 2009, the state strictly clarified the confusion. The concept of solid wood furniture and "comprehensive wood furniture". As for the furniture content of some furniture sales staff mentioned in the 20%, 60% or other proportions, whether it can be called solid wood furniture, not mentioned in the standard. “You think about it, a lot of furniture is made of plastic, leather and metal. Only about 20% of the wood is used. How can it be called solid wood furniture?”

According to the new edition of "General Technical Conditions for Wood Furniture", solid wood furniture is divided into solid wood furniture, solid wood furniture and solid wood veneer furniture according to the proportion and process of solid wood materials. All solid wood furniture means that all wood parts (except mirror pallets and beading) are made of solid wood sawn timber or solid wood board; solid wood furniture, that is, the base material is made of solid wood sawn timber or solid wood board, the surface has no covering treatment; The furniture is made of solid wood sawn timber or solid wood, and the surface is covered with solid wood veneer or thin wood (wooden) furniture.

Jiang Hongyuan said that the "board and wood combined furniture" proposed by the dealers is not a kind of "solid wood furniture", but the "comprehensive wood furniture" stipulated in the new edition standard. And many sellers are also using the provisions of the concept, in the market sales process, this type of furniture is often called solid wood furniture, but even if they claim that solid wood can account for 60%, 70%, can not be called Solid wood furniture: "In the national standard, the wood-based panel furniture is divided into fiberboard furniture, particleboard furniture, blockboard furniture, multi-layer plywood furniture. If the substrate is made of solid wood, wood-based panels and other materials. The furniture can only be called comprehensive wood furniture."

Comprehensive wood furniture is not environmentally friendly

Lin Feng, a veteran of a brand of solid wood furniture sales, said that the current concept of solid wood furniture market is indeed chaotic. Like a private market in Hangzhou, although the layout of the market has been divided, the fourth floor is called “solid wood furniture area”, but There are still many merchants on other floors who claim to sell solid wood furniture. In fact, even in the solid wood furniture area on the fourth floor, there are some businesses that sell not real solid wood products.

Lin Feng explained that there is indeed a customary saying in the industry. For example, it is generally believed that wood should reach 70% of solid wood furniture, and the auxiliary materials such as the floor and back of the drawer can be replaced by other plates. "For consumers, they basically accept the saying that 70% of the furniture they buy is solid wood, and consumers will feel that they are buying solid wood furniture."

The reason why solid wood furniture is favored by consumers is mainly because of its environmental health performance. However, many consumers have some misunderstandings in the concept of environmental protection: that is, comprehensive wood furniture is definitely not environmentally friendly. According to industry insiders, whether furniture is environmentally friendly should be from both furniture materials and paint. If the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard, the furniture is definitely not environmentally friendly. At present, China has uniform standards for the materials used to manufacture furniture. As long as these materials meet national standards, whether it is solid wood furniture or comprehensive wood furniture, it can be called environmentally friendly furniture.

How to differentiate?

Jiang Hongyuan said that the verbal commitment of the sales staff is not necessarily credible. According to the provisions of the national standard GB5296.6-2004.10 "Consumer Instructions for Use", the sixth part of the furniture products, the seller must provide the product manual and other materials, which can explain The composition of the product, this material can be a product description, or a product label, or directly on the contract. In general, when consumers choose solid wood furniture, it is best to ask the merchants for these materials in order to accurately understand the composition of the furniture. Imported materials can be required to check the customs tax bill.

Look, knock, smell a few moves to recognize solid wood furniture

1, look at the surface texture and knot

All solid wood furniture has natural color difference, and its color and texture have certain differences. The appearance of furniture on solid wood veneer is very small, and its texture is clear and even better than solid wood furniture. Consumers can use the texture and knots of solid wood to see the corresponding positions on the exterior and back, respectively. If the correspondence is good, it is a pure solid wood cabinet door. In addition, look at the knot is also a good way to identify pure solid wood: look at the location of the scar side, and then find the corresponding texture on the other side.

2, see the nail hole position during installation

Some frames use solid wood, side panels, partitions, etc., which use thin veneer particle board or medium density board furniture. The center position of the board is actually plywood or various waste wood. This kind of furniture is difficult to identify when looking at the sample, but when you install it after entering the field, you can see the position of the nail hole. If there is wood chip on the particle board, the MDF will be pulpy. Consumers can use this feature to identify it. .

3, using the feel and smell identification

Consumers can tap a few times on the wooden surface, the solid wood material will make a crisper sound, while the artificial board will have a low sound. In addition, the solid wood skin feels very textured, and the general artificial paper skin feels dry.

The most common but very effective method is to smell the smell of furniture at close range. Most wood has the aroma of tree species, pine has a rosin flavor, cedar has a light fragrance, and eucalyptus has a distinct eucalyptus taste, but fiberboard and MDF have a strong pungent odor, especially in cabinet doors or drawers. Inside, it smells easier to distinguish.
