Buying mahogany furniture depends on the look and feel.

Mahogany furniture is a luxury of the times and a tradition that people advocate. It attracts more and more people's attention and love for its practicality, artistry, health and inheritance. However, at present, the mahogany furniture industry is not standardized, and some merchants have various speculative means, which makes consumers hard to prevent. Here, I would like to give advice to consumers who love mahogany furniture and teach you how to buy satisfactory mahogany furniture.

The recognition of mahogany should be "seeing", "smelling", "asking" and "touching"

Look at the material, look at the material of furniture, observe the color and texture of wood, and see if there are any signs of repair. When the smell knocks on the board, mahogany furniture is mostly precious wood, which contains certain wood fragrance, such as fragrant wood and sour wood, which can be distinguished by smell; At the same time, tap its panel and listen to its sound to know its thickness. If the panel is too thin, the sound is empty, while if the panel is thick, the sound is real. Ask questions, ask the salesman, ask about the origin and material of mahogany furniture, and pay attention to the matters indicated in the product manual and contract during the purchase process. Touch furniture, touch the exterior and hidden parts of furniture, such as the bottom surface of furniture, drawer boards, etc. See how smooth it is, whether it is smooth and heavy, and experience the feel.

Exquisite craftsmanship and better furniture.

Exquisite furniture has profound cultural connotation and aesthetic taste. Mahogany furniture is made of high-quality wood through various carvings. Its wood carving technology is exquisite, the lines are beautiful and smooth, and it has extraordinary visual beauty, especially the hand-carved mahogany furniture, which can be described as "wonderful and beautiful"! Consumers can directly feel and experience the value and authenticity of furniture visually, so as to buy their ideal furniture.

The purchase of mahogany furniture depends on its manufacturing process, mainly from two aspects. First, it depends on whether the shape and structure of furniture are symmetrical. In the process of purchasing mahogany furniture, look at the overall structure and shape of the furniture from a distance to see whether it is uniform, simple and atmospheric, whether the furniture is safely placed on the ground and whether it meets your aesthetic requirements; The other is the decoration technology of furniture surface, whether the surface carving is vivid and realistic, whether there are any signs of damage in the carving, whether the carving is hand-carved or mechanical, whether the figure ornaments and lines are beautiful and smooth, whether the size ratio is harmonious and stretched, whether the inlay and interface are fine and firm, whether it is tenon and mortise, etc. And whether it matches and fits with the decoration style of the home. These require careful observation and experience by consumers.

Cultural value and connotation are the key.

Every piece of mahogany furniture, every different pattern and symbol is a symbol with different meanings. In ancient times, mahogany furniture was a symbol of status and wealth among the nobles in the palace; At present, mahogany furniture represents a yearning for elegance and traditional life.

Mahogany furniture is the inheritance and development of traditional culture and an artistic expression. Its material is scarce, its shape is elegant, its cultural connotation is rich, and it has room for investment appreciation, which is deeply loved by lovers and collectors. Therefore, when shopping, whether it is imitation Ming style, imitation qing-style furniture style, innovative classical style or modern Chinese furniture, whether its unique cultural implication, style and aesthetic feeling are consistent with what you want.

At present, the mahogany furniture market is in the stage of branding. Choosing a brand is equivalent to choosing a guarantee.

The four-season maintenance rule of mahogany furniture makes the home more perfect.

Editor's note: A good set of mahogany furniture is the premise, but good maintenance is the key. The four seasons have different maintenance methods. Today, I will tell you about the precautions for four seasons maintenance.

1, spring maintenance

Spring is the most suitable season for mahogany furniture maintenance, and it is also the best season for furniture sizing. It can be said that you can't maintain too much. In spring, you can use beeswax to burn wax for a comprehensive maintenance. But walnut oil is not recommended to maintain mahogany furniture. Always use and touch to wipe, use a clean cotton soft cloth when wiping, and gently wipe the furniture surface after dust removal.

2, summer maintenance

It is humid in summer, easy to get moldy, and moisture-proof is very important, which is a key to the maintenance of mahogany furniture. Always turn on the air conditioner to remove moisture, reduce the moisture absorption and expansion of wood, and avoid the wet swelling deformation and cracking of tenon structure. Don't wax the newly bought furniture this season, and don't wipe the furniture with a wet cloth to prevent the surface of the furniture from getting wet.

3, autumn maintenance

Autumn is the best season for mahogany furniture maintenance, and the maintenance method is basically the same as that in spring. Burn the wax once, and often use the method of "soft grinding and hard grinding" to wipe the furniture.

4, winter maintenance

Winter is the driest, which can be said to be the "death gate" of mahogany furniture and the most taboo season, especially now that people live in buildings and the climate is dry. Don't put it near the heating in winter to avoid the indoor temperature being too high. Generally speaking, it is appropriate for people to feel comfortable wearing sweaters indoors.

Get out of the misunderstanding of mahogany furniture purchase and buy rest assured furniture

With the continuous improvement of living standards, more and more people pay more attention to the quality of life, and many people who pursue the quality of life are also willing to buy solid wood furniture to show their identity and taste. As high-grade solid wood furniture, mahogany furniture not only satisfies people's pursuit of "tall life", but also leaves a good impression on many consumers because of its expensive materials and mortise and tenon structure.

What should consumers pay attention to when purchasing mahogany furniture? In fact, in the process of processing mahogany furniture, the use of unqualified accessories or irregular technology may cause environmental problems.

1. Too much glue will produce harmful gas.

The biggest difference between mahogany furniture and ordinary solid wood furniture and panel furniture is that it adopts tenon-mortise structure, which is a concave-convex connection method adopted on two wooden components. This connection not only ensures the firmness of furniture structure, but also reduces the use of glue. Real mahogany furniture is assembled and disassembled only by tenons and mortises, without glue and nails, which is the main reason why many people think it is environmentally friendly.

Indeed, under normal circumstances, mahogany furniture will not cause too much environmental harm if the process is standardized and can reach the standard of no glue, or only a small amount of glue is used. However, not all mahogany furniture is non-adhesive or less adhesive. In fact, some manufacturers in the market often use a lot of glue in the tenon-mortise structure to make up for the loose connection caused by the loose tenon-mortise structure. If you use urea-formaldehyde glue with a large amount of formaldehyde, it will increase the possibility of environmental protection.

Second, pursue cost and use inferior parts.

In addition to gluing, mahogany furniture will also be painted or waxed in surface treatment. In this process, if the manufacturer uses inferior industrial paint or industrial paraffin, it will also lead to the generation of harmful gases. In the market, the quality of accessories needed for painting or wax ironing is mixed, and the prices are also very different. Good tree paint and natural beeswax are naturally more environmentally friendly, but also more expensive. In order to save costs, some unscrupulous merchants often use inferior industrial paints and industrial paraffin. These inferior accessories will fall off and peel off after being used for a long time, which will affect the appearance and use. Moreover, paints and paraffin wax contain harmful substances such as benzene and heavy metals, and benzene is volatile. If you stay in indoor air for a long time, it goes without saying.

Thirdly, mixing "rubber floor furniture" into "health killer"

All of the above are based on the premise of buying pure mahogany furniture. If consumers unfortunately buy illegible "rubber furniture", it will be even worse. This method of grinding glue is to glue repeatedly, so that it penetrates into the interior of furniture to cover up the problems of white skin, patchwork and insufficient drying. Furniture polished by rubber contains a lot of formaldehyde and benzene, which can't be volatilized in a few years, which is very harmful to human body.

There are "laws" to follow when choosing environmentally friendly furniture.

How to avoid such a problem?

First of all, consumers should choose regular shopping malls or manufacturers for consumption, and ask merchants to ask about the material of mahogany furniture when issuing invoices, so as to ensure the purchase of real mahogany furniture to the maximum extent.

Secondly, learn to compare the auxiliary materials of mahogany furniture to avoid being confused by merchants. Generally speaking, there will be uneven pits on the surface of natural tree paint, while inferior industrial paint is not only pungent but also easy to produce paint skin. If the furniture surface is hit, peeling and peeling will occur. Therefore, consumers can carefully observe the details that are easy to impact and wear, and judge the paint material of furniture. In addition, industrial paraffin wax is smoother and more transparent than beeswax, but it lasts for a short time and is easier to wear, so extra bright mahogany furniture needs more attention.

In addition, consumers can customize furniture, regularly observe the production process in the later stage of production, supervise the materials and technology, and ensure the authenticity and environmental protection of the materials used.

In fact, whether painting or waxing, we should avoid it within a limited scope, minimize the generation of harmful gases, and pursue a green quality life!

Experts teach you a few tricks to buy solid wood furniture.

Speaking of purchasing furniture, there are only two kinds of furniture on the market-solid wood furniture and panel furniture. This classification seems simple, but the furniture placed in the store is all finished products, which are solid wood and which are plates. It is difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish by appearance alone. Only by mastering certain purchasing skills can we avoid buying shoddy and flashy furniture.

Solid wood furniture refers to furniture made of natural wood. Generally, the texture of wood can be seen on the surface of furniture. At present, there are two kinds of solid wood furniture on the market, one is pure solid wood furniture, and all the materials of this furniture are solid wood; The other is imitation solid wood furniture, that is, the natural texture, feel and color of wood are the same as solid wood furniture in appearance, but in fact it is furniture made of solid wood and man-made board, such as particleboard or medium density fiberboard, and veneer is used for side plates and partitions.

Wood grain on the surface of furniture

1. See wood grain and scar knot for the main points of purchase.

Because of the different materials, the price difference of the same dining table, solid wood furniture and panel furniture in home stores is more than 1000 yuan. According to the senior shopping guide of Daming Palace Home Building Materials City, compared with panel furniture, solid wood, a special material, forms a natural color difference, knot and texture. When purchasing, you can distinguish between solid wood and panels by carefully reading the introduction of the merchants.

Material selection

At present, there are more than ten kinds of solid wood furniture used in the market, such as beech, teak, maple, oak, manchurian ash, birch, elm, poplar, basswood and pine, among which beech, oak and manchurian ash are the most precious and the corresponding prices are higher. In the choice of style, because solid wood furniture is durable, it is wise to choose a style that is neither fashionable nor out of date.

Look at these patterns and scars.

Solid wood furniture has natural wood grain and is a good solid wood plate. You can see a pattern from the front. When you open the cupboard door, you can also see the corresponding pattern in the corresponding position. Similarly, pure solid wood boards generally have scars on the front and the other side.

2. shopping tips, look, touch and press.

Due to the need of environmental protection, pure solid wood furniture is becoming less and less. Most solid wood furniture is made of solid wood and wood-based panels. This technology not only avoids the cracking and warping deformation caused by the extensive use of solid wood, but also maintains the beautiful texture of pure natural logs without losing the noble and elegant essence of solid wood furniture. The sales staff of Nanyang Dick Furniture told reporters that due to different processing technologies, it is necessary to "look at three things, feel two things and press the same" to buy this kind of solid wood.

"three views"

Look at the materials first. Generally good solid wood furniture, after opening the cupboard door and drawer, its wood is dry and white, the texture is clear, compact and delicate. At the same time, good solid wood furniture requires that there should be no irritating smell after opening the cupboard door or drawer. Look at the parts again. When buying solid wood furniture, you should carefully check the stressed parts of the furniture, such as sofa legs, columns, bearing rods between connecting columns near the ground, etc. , to ensure that there are no big scars or cracks. Check the sliding and positioning of drawers, open all doors and drawers, and check whether the screws at the joint of parts are tightened; Whether the internal wood-based panel has been sealed, a large number of accessories have been installed, and there are no nails missing or piercing.

Finally, it depends on the origin. If the moisture content of solid wood furniture is higher than 1% of the average moisture content in the use area, cracking, deformation, falling apart and warping may occur. Therefore, it is best to buy furniture produced by brand enterprises with good drying technology.

"second contact"

No matter whether the touch surface is smooth or not, the surface of good solid wood furniture is flat and there will be no problems such as protrusions; Touch the corners and other parts of the furniture again. If there is rough and heavy paint, the processing technology is poor.

"one pressure"

When selecting solid wood furniture, gently press the stress points of the furniture, such as column corners, drawers or shelf brackets, to test whether it is stable.

Matters needing attention in purchasing Duobaoge

In the Republic of China, mahogany inlaid with boxwood carved flowers and birds was a treasure chest.

There are many kinds of furniture in Ming and Qing dynasties. In addition to large tables, chairs and beds, some furniture with display function has also attracted special attention. Duobaoge is a kind of plaid furniture for displaying antique porcelain, which has both collection and display functions. Duobao Pavilion, also known as "Baibao Pavilion" or "Bo Gu Pavilion", was deeply loved by emperors and dignitaries in ancient times. Even in modern times, people who like to collect still like to buy a few pieces of Duobaoge and put them on furniture, and display their collection of antique porcelain on them to enjoy in their spare time. However, it is not an easy task to buy Duobaoge. Duobaoge is a kind of exquisite furniture, so you should observe it carefully when choosing Duobaoge.

Do your homework before you buy it and get to know Doberg. According to the aesthetic concept of China people, they pay special attention to the beauty of symmetry. However, the design of Duobaoge is an exception. Duobaoge is unique in that there are many scattered small spaces in the grid, which are different horizontally and vertically. In the uneven level, the area and height of each grid are different. When placing items, you can choose the appropriate grid according to the size of the items. This design technique breaks the traditional conventional design, so it is unique. When buying Duobaoge, it should be noted that the Ming style Duobaoge is relatively simple, while the famous Qing style Duobaoge is more elegant.

Secondly, we should carefully watch its technology, structure and design when buying Duobaoge. A good Duobaoge is exquisite in craftsmanship and generous in materials, and it doesn't need too much sapwood in the inside, outside and corners. Sometimes the wood width is not enough, and splicing will occur. This is a normal phenomenon, but when purchasing, you must carefully look at whether there is deformation or warping at the splicing place of the plate. If this happens, it is probably caused by splicing of different plates. Okay, Doberg will always be smooth and bright at the stitching. Another point must be paid attention to when purchasing Duobaoge, and carefully check the details of Duobaoge, such as whether the tenon and mortise inside Duobaoge are firm, whether the carving part is polished in place, and whether the splicing part is smooth and flat. Details are often easily overlooked by businesses and consumers. However, a big brand of mahogany Duobaoge has done enough homework in details, whether it is the appearance or the interior, whether it is the visible place or the drawer bottom plate that is not easy to find. The thickness of all plates shall be kept at 12MM, the carved part shall be polished and polished, and each flower hole shall be round and smooth without root burr.

What should I pay attention to when buying mahogany furniture in my bedroom?

China's traditional culture has a preference for bedrooms, and the ancients often thought that beds would bring them good luck all their lives. To this end, the ancients almost put all the symbols symbolizing auspiciousness, longevity and happiness on the bed and bedroom. The visual center of the bedroom is the bed. Common mahogany beds include cribs (such as four-post, six-post to twelve-post dragon and phoenix cribs, moon-hole cribs, moon-hole cribs, and cribs around doors). ), pedal bed, film bed and arhat bed, and some also put a beauty lounge chair in a well-lit place for a nap.

Huanglong six-column frame bed of Huanghua pear in late Ming and early Qing dynasties

Frame bed used to be an indispensable bulky furniture for royal weddings. Even the average wealthy family will be proud of having several kinds of cribs, which is a symbol of rich family background and master status. When Yan Song, the minister of Huiji in the Ming Dynasty, was robbed, the number of beds was the largest and the most expensive. Since its birth, the frame bed has emphasized the comfort and privacy of bedding. According to Li Yu, a crib can be well dressed: "On the one hand, the bed makes flowers, on the other hand, the tent makes bones, on the one hand, the tent should be locked, on the other hand, the bed should have skirts."

"Bed makes flowers grow" is to set up a pallet in the bed tent, cover it with colored gauze, and then put on the famous flowers and herbs that the owner likes. When there are no flowers in winter, you can put "Long Xianxiang in the furnace, bergamot in the plate, papaya and nanmu". In this way, according to the ancient literati, it is "flying around among flowers, sleeping and eating, nothing more than a place where everyone is happy."

"The tent has bones" refers to setting a bed tent outside the bed. In order to avoid the unclearness of the soft bed tent and the gap between it and the square bed body, the bed tent is supported by the bed surface and four pillars to make it tangible. It can be seen that the ancients used a lot of wisdom when designing and making beds, so that modern people inherited many ready-made beauty while inheriting classic styles.

The bedroom is the main place for people to rest and sleep, and at least one third of their life is spent in the bedroom. When it comes to bedroom furniture, of course, the bed is the first thing to bear the brunt, in addition to bedside tables, wardrobes, dressing tables and other practical things. If space permits, you can decorate some other interesting bedroom furniture. When buying mahogany furniture in the bedroom, you should choose the furniture you like and apply according to the living area, personal preferences and actual needs of the owner. Next, I will share with you some points that should be paid attention to when purchasing mahogany furniture in the bedroom:

The first point is that in terms of materials, we should pay attention to the choice of wooden furniture that is stable and helps to rest and sleep. Sandalwood has sandalwood, which is conducive to dredging people's meridians; Huang Huali has the effect of reducing fragrance, and has a good effect on lowering blood pressure and inducing resuscitation. The wood properties of Huanghua pear are stable, while the wood properties of rosewood and rosewood are moderate. There is a scientific and reasonable expansion gap in the production process, which is durable and not easy to deform. They are an excellent choice for bedroom furniture.

The second point is color. Try to choose warm-colored furniture such as yellow, purple and red. Yellow has rosewood such as Huang Huali, with Huang Huali as the first choice; Purple is rosewood, a traditional court material, rich in extravagance and atmosphere; Red is red rosewood, and the concept of "mahogany" in traditional furniture refers to it. Wood fiber has good toughness and load-bearing performance superior to other materials, which makes furniture durable. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the unity of bedroom furniture in color. It is best to use the same kind of wood for large furniture such as beds and lockers. If you want to do some color matching, it is best not to use more than two materials. Because if the color difference is too large, the color will appear very chaotic, which will affect people's mood and thus affect the quality of sleep.

The third point is height. Take bedding as an example. At present, most mahogany beds produced by manufacturers are low in style. The height chosen should not only meet people's requirements for convenient living, but also conform to the traditional bedroom feng shui.

At the same time, in the bedroom furniture combination, I suggest you: in order to activate the bedroom effect, in addition to buying a matching bedside table, you can also try to match a bedside table after the bedside table of the double bed is complete. You can also match some interesting furniture, such as mahogany dresser, crescent table, bedside table, piano table and stool, plush chair with coffee table, incense sticks and flowers. In this way, after you have a rest in the bedroom, you can burn incense and dress up, make tea and listen to the piano.
