Is the smell of solid wood poisonous?

Natural wood has a non-toxic taste and is generally harmless to human body.

However, some wood, such as Daphne and ebony, has its own fragrance, and some people may feel uncomfortable or allergic to this natural fragrance, causing discomfort such as dizziness and nausea. In addition, most of the wood used for furniture now is processed, and the outside is painted. This kind of painted wood will smell like paint, and paint generally contains carcinogens such as formaldehyde, which is also harmful to human body.

Matters needing attention and key points of wood:

When buying a solid wood bed, in order to confirm whether solid wood is a whole piece of material, you can observe the front and back of the bed. If the texture is consistent and the nodes are consistent, it is pure solid wood, otherwise it is not. At the same time, you can also pay attention to a detail. Real solid wood has color difference; If it is found that the details of the solid wood bed are rough, and the solid wood has cracks, insect eyes and mildew, it is recommended not to buy it.

Close to the bed, if there is a pungent smell under the fine taste, it is probably because the formaldehyde content of the paint used is unqualified, so choose carefully, because formaldehyde exceeding the standard is very harmful to the body. It should be noted that whether the paint on solid wood furniture will cause harm to the body, especially if there are children and pregnant women at home, it is relatively safe to let the furniture leave for a while before moving into the house.
