Which is better, panel furniture or solid wood furniture?

Advantages and disadvantages of solid wood furniture

Solid wood furniture refers to furniture made of natural wood. Generally, the texture of wood can be seen on the surface of furniture. Its advantage lies in the use of natural wood, which is more natural, durable and green. (Solid wood furniture with qualified manufacturing process) excluding artificial addition.

Additives, no pollution hazards.

Its disadvantage lies in the use of natural wood, which makes its price rise; The styles and patterns that can be selected are also limited by the wood itself, and the selection space is relatively small; The material of solid wood is soft and can't be exposed to the sun, so it needs more effort to maintain it; Finally, most solid wood furniture is assembled with tenon structure and adhesive, and the finished product cannot be disassembled, so special attention should be paid when handling.

Advantages and disadvantages of panel furniture

Panel furniture, that is, wood panel furniture, is made of incomplete broken wood mixed with other fibers.

Generally speaking, the price of panel furniture is cheaper than that of solid wood furniture (but the price of some imported panel furniture with excellent workmanship and novel style may far exceed that of rough solid wood furniture); Its color and texture mainly depend on the effect of veneer, so there are many changes in this aspect, which can give people different feelings, and there are also many changes in modeling design, with a wide range of choices; The material is not easy to deform; The combination of parts usually adopts various metal hardware, which is very convenient for disassembly and assembly.

And its shortcoming is only "unnatural". Because some panel furniture uses strip-shaped veneers, the pattern will have a sense of repetition, and it will lack natural variability (now many brand panel furniture has noticed this and used large pieces of wood grain veneers that imitate natural changes, which can make up for this to some extent); Short service life; The biggest problem is environmental protection: additives and adhesives are often used in the production of wood-based panels. If the furniture is not well decorated and sealed, there will be hidden dangers of pollution. There are a lot of furniture in the market, and there is a strong pungent smell when the drawers of cabinets are opened, which belongs to this kind of problem. Such furniture should not be bought.
