In recent years, natural and environmentally friendly, simple and elegant solid wood furniture has been favored by more and more consumers, and it has become the darling of the furniture market. However, according to the statistics of the China Consumers Association, the problem of solid wood furniture materials has become the focus of furniture consumption complaints in recent years. There are also many media reports that there is a “true and false wood†in the furniture market.
What is the real solid wood furniture? What is the current status of the solid wood furniture market? Recently, the "Life Times" reporter conducted a survey on this.
The reporter visited the furniture market on the spot
On the afternoon of May 30, the reporter went to several large furniture markets such as Beijing Oriental Home, Real Home, Hongxing Meikailong, etc., and found that the overall market of Beijing solid wood furniture was relatively standardized. Most of the products were labeled with labels, and the labels were marked with furniture. The main materials and auxiliary materials used. However, the reporter found that there are also cases where individual salesmen confuse the concept of solid wood.
In a European-style solid wood furniture store in the Oriental Home, the reporter carefully checked a 5,500 yuan brown wooden five-drawer cabinet, and saw that the main material marked on the label was maple, and the auxiliary material was fir. The reporter asked the store owner whether the furniture is solid wood. The boss said frankly: "To tell the truth, European furniture is difficult to achieve solid wood. This countertop and side panels are wood-based panels, and the solid wood countertops are easily deformed." Reporter, generally 60% is solid wood, it can be said that it is solid wood furniture.
Subsequently, the reporter came to the home of the house and walked into a furniture store with a “100% solid wood furniture†sign on the door. The reporter said that he wanted to buy a solid wood desk and opened a drawer to view the wood inside, the color of the wood was gray, the corners were rough, and it was suspected that it was all solid wood. After the inquiry, the salesperson said with certainty that “it is absolutely solid wood.†At this time, the reporter saw the main material pine on the label, the auxiliary material miscellaneous wood, and asked what was the miscellaneous wood, whether it was a wooden particle board. The salesperson avoided answering. The reporter knocked on the side panel of the drawer and heard the sound was empty and continued to ask for material. The salesman said, "This is only the plate."
Be wary of "the difference between words"
So, what exactly is solid wood furniture? Luo Wei, director of the Beijing Furniture Quality Inspection Station, told the reporter that the "General Technical Conditions for Wood Furniture", which was implemented on May 1, 2009, clearly states that solid wood furniture is divided into "all solid wood furniture", "solid wood furniture" and "solid wood." There are three types of veneer furniture. Among them, all solid wood furniture refers to all wood products. In addition to mirrors and pallets, furniture made of solid wood sawn timber or solid wood panels is used. Consumers should choose according to their own needs. Therefore, there is no such thing as "60% solid wood is all solid wood".
“When consumers buy solid wood furniture, the key is to pay attention to this full word. If it is just solid wood furniture, then it may be a combination of wood and wood, or solid wood leather furniture, not all solid wood.†Chen Yun, Secretary General of Guangzhou Furniture Association reminded consumer. A salesperson also told reporters that many merchants said that the furniture is all solid wood, but when writing the contract, they wrote "solid wood." "The word difference is not the same. Wood-based panels can also be said to be solid wood."
These nuances have made many consumers too. The reporter saw in a home forum that many netizens have expressed their hope that the relevant departments will launch the "Solid Wood Furniture Logo", "Solid Wood Veneer Furniture Logo" and "Artificial Panel Furniture Logo" as soon as possible in order to give consumers an authoritative shopping guide. .
Quickly distinguish true and false solid wood
In the face of the "woody furniture in the fog" market, consumers should polish their eyes, ask more details, and carefully discern. A person in the furniture market told reporters a few tips for choosing solid wood furniture.
one look. All solid wood furniture has natural color difference and texture difference. The appearance of furniture on solid wood veneer is very small, and its texture is clear and even better than solid wood furniture. Look at the knot is a good way to identify pure solid wood. Look at the location of the side of the scar, and then find the corresponding texture on the other side. In addition, you can see the nail hole position during installation. If there is wood chip on the particle board, the MDF will be pulpy.
Second smell. Most wood has the aroma of tree species, pine has a rosin flavor, cedar has a light fragrance, and eucalyptus has a distinct camphor taste, but fiberboard and MDF have a strong pungent odor, especially in cabinet doors or drawers. .
Three touches. The solid wood skin feels smooth and has a texture, while the general artificial paper skin feels dry.
Four knocks. 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.
“Consumers must have a sense of rights protection, sign a detailed sales contract, and write the promise of the business into the contract.†Luo Wei reminded consumers that when buying solid wood furniture, they must sign a purchase contract with the merchant and ask the merchant to indicate "Pure solid wood furniture" or "solid wood veneer furniture", etc., the wood is specifically what wood, but also write clearly. Once the furniture is found to be fake after purchase, it can be claimed to the merchant according to the contract.
Finally, Luo Wei told reporters that in fact, consumers do not have to chase the wind to buy solid wood furniture. "The use of function is the key, as long as the harmful substances of the furniture are not exceeded, the quality is guaranteed, the material is not the most important. The quality of the artificial panel furniture is also very good, more difficult to deform, solid and durable." Luo Wei said that many propaganda said Solid wood furniture is environmentally friendly and healthy . "It is actually only an individual environmental protection, but for the big environment of the earth, it is not environmentally friendly and consumes forest resources."
