Solid wood furniture

Classification of solid wood furniture

Solid wood furniture is divided into pure solid wood furniture and imitation solid wood furniture.

  Pure solid wood furniture: All materials used in the furniture are solid wood, including the desktop, wardrobe door panels, side panels, etc. are made of wood, and no other form of artificial board is used . Pure solid wood furniture has very high requirements for craftsmanship and materials. The selection, drying, finger jointing, and seaming of solid wood are very strict. If any process is not strictly controlled, small cracks and loose joints will appear, and the whole set of furniture will be deformed and unusable.

  Imitation solid wood furniture: The so-called imitation solid wood furniture looks like solid wood furniture. The natural texture, feel and color of the wood are exactly the same as those of solid wood furniture, but in fact it is a mixture of solid wood and artificial boards. The side panels, fixed, bottom, gussets and other parts are made of particleboard or medium-density fiberboard with veneer, and the doors and drawers are made of solid wood. This process saves wood and reduces costs. At present, most of the solid wood furniture sold on the market is a combination of board and wood.

  Generally speaking, solid wood furniture refers to furniture with a solid wood frame, such as tabletops, door panels, side panels, partitions, bottom panels, etc., which may be artificial boards. Consumers need to pay special attention! The price of

  a set of imitation solid wood bedroom furniture should be around several thousand yuan, while full solid wood furniture should be at least more than 10,000 yuan; and now there are many imitations on the market that are priced high, and consumers cannot identify them by price. They must master the identification method of solid wood.   Common wood for solid wood furniture:   Taking domestic solid wood furniture as an example, the main types are: walnut, beech, teak, maple, oak, oak, ash, elm, poplar, pine, etc. Among them, walnut, ash, beech, and oak are the most precious. These materials come from nature and reflect the harmonious relationship between people and the environment. Designers love to use these materials. Adding the modern design concept of people-oriented and nature-oriented can narrow the distance between people and materials, people and nature, and give people a sense of intimacy.   01. Red pine: light and soft material, moderate strength, good drying, water resistance, corrosion resistance, good processing , coating, coloring and bonding.   02. White pine: light and soft material, elastic, fine and uniform structure, good drying, water resistance, corrosion resistance, good processing, coating, coloring and bonding. White pine is stronger than red pine.   03. Birch: slightly heavier and harder material, fine structure, high strength, good processing, coating and bonding.   04. Paulownia: very light and soft material, rough structure, rough surface after cutting, good drying, no warping and cracking.   05. Basswood: slightly lighter and soft material, slightly fine structure, silky luster, not easy to crack, good processing, coating, coloring and bonding. Not resistant to corrosion, slightly warped when drying.   06. Manchurian ash: slightly heavier and harder material, beautiful pattern, rough structure, easy to process, high toughness, good coating and bonding, average drying.   07. Elm: Beautiful patterns, coarse structure, good processing, coating and gluing properties, poor drying properties, easy to crack and warp.   08. Oak: Hard material, coarse structure, high strength, difficult processing, good coloring and coating properties, poor gluing properties, easy to dry, easy to crack.   09. Beech: Hard material, straight texture, fine structure, wear-resistant and glossy, not easy to deform when drying, good processing, coating and gluing properties.   10. Maple: Moderate weight, fine structure, easy processing, smooth cutting surface, good coating and gluing properties, warping when drying.   11. Camphor: Moderate weight, fine structure, fragrant, not easy to deform when drying, good processing, coating and gluing properties.   12. Willow: Moderate material, slightly coarse structure, easy processing, good gluing and coating properties. Slightly cracking and warping when drying. Plywood made of willow is called Philippine board.   13. Rosewood: hard material, fine texture, medium structure, corrosion resistance, not easy to dry, smooth cutting surface, good coating and gluing. 14. Red  sandalwood : hard material, fine texture, rough structure, strong durability, glossy, smooth cutting surface.   15. Walnut: good material, smooth planing surface, corrosion resistance, not easy to warp, glossy, excellent wood toughness   16. Rubberwood: clear texture, hard material, rough structure, easy to process, good coating and gluing!   17. Oak: mountain-shaped wood grain, the touch surface has a good texture. Hard texture, solid structure, long service life, high grade, suitable for making European furniture, not easy to absorb water, corrosion resistance, high strength.   18. Artificial board, commonly used are three-ply board, five-ply board, fiberboard, particleboard, hollow board, etc. Due to the different combined structures of various artificial boards, they can overcome the shortcomings of wood such as expansion, contraction, warping, and cracking, so they have many advantages when used in furniture  .









































Solid wood furniture knowledge

Characteristics of solid wood furniture : generally, they are mortise and tenon structures, i.e. fixed structures.

  Glossary: ​​Furniture whose main body is made entirely of natural wood and only uses a small amount of auxiliary materials such as plywood is called solid wood furniture . So what is the main body of furniture? The doors and side panels of the cabinet, the panels, side panels, and legs of the table, the backrest, side panels, and legs of the bed are all the main body of furniture. And some cabinet bottom panels, drawer bottom panels, etc. do not belong to the main body.

  Some misunderstandings of solid wood furniture: 1. Veneer furniture is called solid wood furniture. In fact, this type of furniture should belong to panel furniture . The definition of solid wood furniture is natural wood. As long as there is artificial synthetic furniture in the main body of the furniture, it does not belong to solid wood furniture. The common

  sales technique is: tell you that there is a joinery board , and then say that the joinery board is solid wood, and then call this kind of furniture solid wood furniture. If you don't pay attention, you will be fooled. Joinery board is plywood, which does not belong to the category of solid wood. Although it is made of solid wood, the difference between the two is like you can't call flour rice.   2. Some paper veneer furniture that has been specially treated is called solid wood furniture. The surface of some paper veneer furniture is almost exactly the same as that of solid wood furniture, especially some classic brands in Wenzhou . It is almost impossible to tell the difference unless you are a furniture expert. The sales lady is confusing the fake with the real thing. If you buy it, the profit is hers, and the loss is yours.   3. Some furniture that is partially made of solid wood is called solid wood furniture. The door panels of some furniture are all solid wood, but the side panels are not. However, the sales lady calls them all solid wood. In fact, this type of furniture should be between panel furniture and solid wood furniture. It is more appropriate to call it semi-solid wood furniture, just like a mermaid looks like a human but cannot be called a human.
