First move: Look

Firstly, observe the wood grain. If the wood grain on the surface of a cabinet door is asymmetrical with the wood grain on the back of the door, it is veneered furniture. Secondly, consider the quality of the wood. The main load-bearing parts of furniture, such as columns and load-bearing horizontal bars connecting columns close to the ground, should not have large knots, cracks, or cracks. The frame must not be loose, and it is not allowed to break tenons or materials. The components of artificial boards used on furniture should be edge sealed, and various accessories should not be missing, missing nails, or through nails during installation. Furthermore, the surface paint of solid wood furniture is smooth, full, and the workmanship should be fine. There is no obvious color difference in the color, and the paint quality is good (with a light odor). Therefore, when purchasing, stand one meter away and observe whether the colors are consistent in all areas that should be of the same color. If they are not consistent, it is considered a color difference.

Second move: Smell

The taste of pure solid wood furniture is generally not too strong, and most solid wood has a woody aroma. Pine wood has a rosin flavor, while camphor wood has a distinct camphor flavor

Third move: Touch

Place your hand on the surface of the furniture and carefully check if the polished surface is smooth, for any protrusions that can hook into the clothes, cracks, or bubbles. When furniture panels are covered with thin wood and other materials, the color should be similar to that of the complete set of products, and the surface paint film of the product should not be wrinkled, sticky, or leaking paint. Use your hands to check if the legs and other parts are rough, and check if the paint on the corners is too thick. Lightly press the various stress points of furniture, such as column corners, drawers, or shelf supports, to test for stability. Use force to press the surface of furniture without any hollow or solid feeling, and the panel should vibrate.

Fourth move: Listen

First, tap the wooden surface with your hand. Solid wood parts will make a crisp sound, while artificial boards will have a low and deep sound. When selecting small pieces of furniture such as chairs, stools, hangers, etc., it is advisable to drag them on the ground and gently drop them. If the sound is clear, it indicates that the furniture production process and quality are good; If the voice is hoarse and there is a crackling noise, it indicates that the tenon joint is not tight.
