What about solid wood furniture? Advantages and disadvantages of solid wood furniture.

Solid wood furniture refers to pure solid wood furniture, that is, all materials are unprocessed natural materials, and furniture made of wood-based panels is not used.

Classification: Solid wood furniture is divided into pure solid wood furniture and imitation solid wood furniture.

1, pure solid wood furniture:

The surface of solid wood furniture can generally see the real texture of wood, which is simple and calm. Occasionally, the board surface with tree nodes also reflects fresh and natural materials, which are naturally free from chemical pollution. Solid wood furniture is a healthy and fashionable choice, which accords with the noble nature of modern urbanites. In the choice of materials for solid wood furniture, taking domestic solid wood furniture as an example, the main types are; Beech, teak, maple, oak, Toona sinensis, Fraxinus mandshurica, elm, poplar and pine, among which beech, teak and Toona sinensis are the most precious. All the materials used in furniture are solid wood, including countertops, door panels and wardrobe side panels, and no other forms of man-made boards are used. Pure solid wood furniture requires high technology and materials. Material selection, drying, finger joint, flat-fell seam and other requirements of solid wood are very strict. If any process is not strictly controlled, there will be cracks and loose joints, and the whole set of furniture will be deformed or even unusable.

2, imitation solid wood furniture:

Imitation solid wood furniture, the so-called imitation solid wood furniture, is solid wood furniture in appearance. The natural texture, feel and color of wood are exactly the same as those of solid wood furniture, but in fact it is a mixture of solid wood and man-made board, that is, particleboard or medium density fiberboard, with veneers on the top, bottom and shelves of side plates. Doors and drawers are made of solid wood. This process saves wood and reduces the cost. The price of a set of imitation solid wood bedroom furniture should be around several thousand yuan, while all solid wood furniture should be at least 1 ten thousand yuan; But there are many imitations in the market, and the price is high, so consumers can't pass the price appraisal, so they must master the appraisal method of solid wood.

Second, advantages

1. Natural, environmentally friendly and healthy solid wood furniture reveals natural and primitive beauty. Wood-colored furniture is naturally free from chemical pollution, which is definitely the best choice for modern healthy life and meets the psychological needs of modern urbanites to advocate nature. The materials come from nature and reflect the harmonious relationship between man and the environment. Designers love to use these materials, coupled with the modern design concept of people-oriented and nature-oriented, it will narrow the distance between people and materials, people and nature, and give people a sense of intimacy. In the processing of solid wood furniture, compared with wood-based furniture, the amount of glue used is quite small. The amount of glue affects the environmental protection of furniture.

2. Long service life. The service life of panel furniture is generally 3-5 years. The service life of solid wood furniture is more than 5 times that of panel furniture.

3. Solid wood furniture has the function of preserving value. At the same time, it can bring a warm "woody smell" to the home environment, so it is quite popular among middle and high-end consumers. Its advantage is that it embodies nature: natural texture, changeable form, and beautiful patterns of wood can generally be seen on the surface of furniture.

4. Solid wood furniture has its own unique style and personality. The raw materials of solid wood furniture come from nature, which combines the essence of nature, and truly shows the unique taste of solid wood furniture: high-grade and heavy. It combines China's long-standing traditional culture and modern fashion elements into furniture design, giving it new connotation, making furniture design more humanized, practical and modern, creating a new trend of solid wood furniture and leading it.

Third, shortcomings

1, the main disadvantages of solid wood furniture are easy deformation and difficult maintenance. For example, you can't let the sun shine directly, you can't be too cold and overheated, and the environment that is too dry and humid is not suitable for solid wood furniture; If you don't pay attention when using it, the temperature and humidity will change too much, even the qualified solid wood furniture products will sometimes deform and crack. It can be said that no matter what kind of wood is used and how exquisite the workmanship is, it is difficult to avoid these problems.

2. Furniture is durable. In order to keep bright as new, we should pay attention to the protection of furniture surface paint when using it at ordinary times. Furniture will lose its luster after the paint film is scratched. Therefore, soft cotton cloth should be used to take care of furniture at ordinary times and waxed regularly for maintenance.
