Have you found out? Cheap things are happy at the moment you buy, because you think you are cheap. It is highly probable that you will be unhappy once in the future.
Do you feel it? The expensive thing, the moment you buy it is painful, and every time you use it is comfortable.
Life is like this, as is the collection of mahogany furniture. When you are ready to spend a lot of money to buy your favorite mahogany furniture, you should choose products with the best shape, craftsmanship and materials. Such a product may be a bit higher than what you might expect, and it doesn't have any advantage when comparing furniture that you think is "fit" and "good". When the price factor becomes the primary factor in the purchase of furniture, you have to polish your eyes, because the same material, the approximate price range of the approximation of the process may be smaller than you think. Apparently similar in style, the difference in cost between furniture with the same materials is likely to be much larger than you think. The way you don't know how to reduce costs is a secret that many manufacturers cannot say.
Materials:
1. The same category of rosewood fraud
Several types of mahogany in the same category are difficult for consumers to distinguish because of similar texture, properties, color, and density. In terms of price, the prices of different materials are different, and the production costs are also different. For the purpose of profit-seeking, the merchant will pretend to be a high-priced mahogany with low-priced mahogany.
At present, the most common in the market is the confusion of seven species of red rosewood and other species. Among the seven types of wood, S. chinensis has the highest cost and is the most popular. Made from Central America, Dalbergia sinensis, Bahrain Dalbergia and A. sinensis from Southeast Asian countries are often used as a counterfeit Dalbergia. Consumers should be cautious when buying too cheap. Please ask the merchant to write the scientific name of the wood used. Some parts should be marked with other materials. If you do not use it, you should indicate "full ** material furniture" for future rights protection.
Discrimination method: Compared with Dalbergia chinensis, the dimpled Dalbergia is produced in Central America, and the growth wheel is more obvious. The black and yellow lines with clear texture can be seen on the cut surface of the furniture, and the lines are thicker. The new cut surface of the heartwood of Sian rosewood is dark red or purple red, and the dimpled Dalbergia is orange-red, but the color is darker and darker, and the colors are closer.
Merchants also use the same texture of wood to impersonate mahogany materials. For example, the dye rosewood (commonly known as blood sandalwood) produced in Zambia, Africa, is a sandalwood rosewood (commonly known as lobular rosewood). Some merchants will use it in hidden parts such as dental plates and side panels, and bold businesses will use fake materials.
As consumers' knowledge of mahogany grows, adulterated fake merchants sometimes change their strategies and shoddy them. Therefore, the place of origin is not the only condition for judging the quality of the same kind of material.
The same wood has different colors and patterns due to different sunlight and different nutrients. The same wood has different patterns at different levels. Therefore, when identifying a piece of furniture, it is best to observe the whole and comprehensively judge the pros and cons of the material.
Some consumers like to ask about the origin of the wood when they buy it to judge whether the wood is good or bad. In fact, the wood production area is determined by natural conditions and the origin is not the only factor. For example, the same is the red rosewood produced in Laos, and there is a large gap between the trees in the south of Laos and the north of Laos. Therefore, when judging whether the wood is good or bad, the information of the place of origin is not the only evidence that the quality of the material is good or bad. Some merchants use consumers to value the psychology of the place of origin, and confuse the real information of wood with information such as “produced in a certain placeâ€, causing consumers to misunderstand.

2. Sapwood shoddy
The dark part of the wood is called "heartwood", while the whitish part that surrounds the heartwood is called "white skin", also called "sapwood". According to the national standard "Redwood", "Redwood" is defined as the heartwood of the genus Pterocarpus, Dalbergia, Diospyros, Yam, and Teppanyaki. Therefore, only wood heartwood can be called "redwood", white skin can not Called "Redwood."
The white skin is easily eroded by insects, which not only affects the aesthetics of the furniture, but also affects the firmness and service life of the furniture. From the perspective of economic costs, the price of heartwood is dozens of times that of white skin. According to the national light industry standard "Dark and expensive hardwood furniture": "The front side of the product should be free of sapwood; the sapwood content of the surface of other parts should not exceed 1/10 of the surface area of ​​the part (width less than 8mm) Material does not count)".
Discrimination method: There is a clear color difference between the white skin and the heart material, and the color is generally adjusted by painting. Inconspicuous position of the furniture If the color is dark or the pattern is not visible, you need to pay attention.
It can be carefully discerned under strong light, and whether it has texture inside. If you are sure to purchase, you can ask the shop home sandpaper to polish some of the wax or paint to observe the quality of the inner wood. If the furniture is custom-made, you can carefully observe whether the furniture is whitened and the material is flawed before painting on the finished product.

Process:
1. æ¦«å¯ structure cut corners
The æ¦«å¯ structure is the essence of Chinese classical furniture. It does not need a nail and a rivet to make the furniture parts firmly combined. However, in the production process, some merchants use iron nails or even glue instead to reduce labor and material use costs.
Concrete structure of furniture components
Discrimination method: When purchasing, carefully observe whether the joint position of the parts is firm and tight, and whether there is any trace of the polished surface to block the nails. If nails are used, the probability of cracking of the surrounding wood is greater. It can also be detected by magnetite or metal detectors.

2. Concealed parts "digging"
Because of the precious materials, the mahogany furniture needs to be carefully selected to be innocent. Merchants often use small materials to dig and splicing in the unobtrusive position of the furniture.
The excavation is often filled with small materials to form a monolith. If the furniture is bumpy, or the material is unbalanced, there is also a way to make up the wood powder putty, that is, using wood powder and glue paste in the gap, so that the appearance looks like complete wood.
Discrimination method: Digging is not a falsification. In some special places such as wardrobes, chair panels, countertops, etc., where large-area wood is used, digging is often seen. It is a way to identify the advantages and disadvantages of furniture materials, consumers can judge the value of furniture according to the area of ​​the excavation. Merchants usually do not dig in obvious parts, and should be carefully observed in some hidden parts, such as the back of the chair and the inner panel of the cabinet.

The details are good and bad
The manufacture of a fine mahogany furniture requires steps such as drawing, cutting, material selection, drying, woodworking, engraving, polishing, scraping, sanding, surface treatment (hot wax or lacquer). These steps are indispensable. A detail must be paid attention to.
Detail identification method:
Observe whether the interface joints are strict and there are too many traces of glue bonding. It can be seen that the manufacturer's woodworking and wood processing efforts;
The straightness of furniture, the proportion of curved materials is natural, the hand feel is not comfortable, can consider the level of woodworking scrapers.
Polished furniture component
Engraving, for some pattern decoration, the basic pattern is often created by the machine carving, and then the hand-carving method is used to ensure the production efficiency and the furniture. Whether the engraving after the repair is in place, whether it is round and natural, and integrated with the furniture; the cost of hand-carving is high, but some furniture components must be finished by hand. The method of judging whether it is hand-carving is to see if the lines are round and whether there are traces of knife. Whether the inside and outside of the line are polished, whether the corner and the arc are natural.
The most striking and easiest to discern the details is whether the scratching is in place, whether the plane is flat, and whether the polished surface is smooth will be intuitively reflected in front of your eyes.
When you really touch the process of making classical mahogany furniture, combine your purchasing power with the shape, material and craftsmanship. When you buy a little bit of "meat pain", congratulations, you may have chosen It was a mahogany furniture that looked good and used comfortably.
