Sunshine Net-Sunshine (Reporter Chen Qiushe) has readers asked about the identification of mahogany furniture. The reporter specially interviewed Mr. Zhou Xinzhong, the general manager of Meilian Redwood Furniture, who is an authoritative professional in this industry. He pointed out that the current mahogany furniture is more and more concerned and loved by consumers. However, there are some low-end practices such as unscrupulous traders using other materials to impersonate and even cut corners. What can be done to stay away from being cheated? Here are five areas to help you solve your problems.

The first move: moving

Move: test the weight of furniture

Try to move the furniture up. Usually, a 40-year-old man who has to work hard to lift a seat proves that the seat is normal; if it is moved easily, it proves that the weight is not enough.

The second measure: touch

Touch: detect the moisture content

The moisture content of wood is the most important point affecting the quality of furniture. You can gently touch the heart panel and the seam part of the furniture panel with your fingers or palms. If it is smooth and smooth, it proves that the wood moisture content of the furniture is up to standard; if there is slight cracking or cracking, it proves that the moisture content inside the wood is high.

The third measure: stroke

Plan: Testing the quality of the wood itself

You can use your fingernails in a direction perpendicular to the wood texture and observe and experience the diameter of the wood tube hole. Generally, the wood is finer and higher-grade, the diameter of the pipe hole is small, and the degree of the blockage of the wood is also small; on the contrary, the degree of the blockage of the wood is larger.

The fourth measure: lifting

Lift: check the structure tight

You can lift the legs on the side of the mahogany seat, and then gently let it fall to the ground. If the sound of the landing is simple and powerful, it proves that the structural tightness is no problem.

The fifth measure: turn

Turn over: test material ratio

The mahogany furniture on the market is divided into "full mahogany" and "partial mahogany", and the former price is about 1.5 times higher than the latter. Therefore, small pieces of furniture such as tables and chairs can be turned upside down during inspection to observe The wood used for the interior and concealed parts is identical to the main structure or has sapwood.
