Solid wood furniture refers to furniture made of natural wood. The surface of such furniture can generally see the real pattern of wood. Furniture manufacturers sometimes paint varnish or matt lacquer for solid wood furniture to express the natural color of wood. Panel furniture refers to furniture made from medium-density fiberboard or particleboard for surface veneering, and is very fashionable due to the variety of styles.
Comparison of panel furniture and solid wood furniture
First, the appearance of materials are superior
In people's impressions, solid wood furniture is cumbersome mahogany furniture. In fact, solid wood furniture also has its various forms. Of course, as Chinese furniture gradually becomes popular fashion, solid wood furniture has become more and more popular among fashion people. And solid wood furniture is worth keeping. Speaking of solid wood furniture, one is pure solid wood furniture. That is to say, all the materials of the furniture are solid wood, including the table top, the door panel of the wardrobe, the side panels, etc. are all made of pure solid wood, and no other type of artificial board is used. Pure solid wood furniture has high requirements on craftsmanship and materials. The requirements for selection, drying, finger jointing and seaming of solid wood are very strict. If any process is not tight, small cracking, loose joints, etc., the whole set of furniture is deformed, so that it can not be used. The other is imitation solid wood furniture. The so-called imitation solid wood furniture, from the appearance of the solid wood furniture, the natural texture, feel and color of the wood are exactly the same as the solid wood furniture, but in fact the furniture mixed with solid wood and wood-based panels, namely the side panels, bottom, shelf and other components Use thin veneer particle board or medium density board fiberboard. The doors and drawers are made of solid wood. This process saves wood and reduces costs. So it is more acceptable in terms of price.
At present, most people in the market are mostly panel furniture, which refers to furniture made by medium-density fiberboard or particleboard surface veneering. A large part of this kind of furniture is wood grain simulation furniture. The veneer of some plate furniture sold on the market is more and more realistic, the gloss and feel are good, and the price of fine craft furniture is naturally expensive. Each has its own characteristics.
The popularity of solid wood furniture is mainly to cater to people's return to nature. Its original flavor makes many people unable to give up, whether it is antique Chinese furniture, or luxurious European classical furniture, solid wood furniture can be called The best in furniture.
But solid wood furniture also has its fatal flaws . The most important thing is that the change of water content makes it easy to deform. It needs special care, such as not allowing sunlight, not too cold or too hot, too dry and humid environment for solid wood furniture. It is not appropriate. If you do not pay attention to the use, frequent switching of the air conditioner causes excessive changes in temperature and humidity, even if the qualified solid wood furniture products sometimes deform and crack.
In addition, the combination of components of solid wood furniture is usually made of enamel structure and adhesive, and the finished product is generally not removable, which is inconvenient when moving. If the manufacturer is not strict, it is very easy to make the inferior solid wood furniture enter the consumer's home.
Second, the so-called panel furniture refers to the furniture made of wood-based panels as the basic material, with various stickers or wood paper, sealed by edges and painted.
It is characterized by the scientific arrangement of wood-based panels and wood in different parts of the furniture, which is conducive to saving wood, especially precious wood, and its appearance is not inferior to solid wood furniture. Another remarkable feature of the panel furniture is that the furniture is assembled by the workpieces of each unit, which is easy to disassemble and transport, and the combination is more than the thick and heavy solid wood furniture, and the product is updated more quickly. Its rise reflects the progress and improvement of the mass furniture consumption concept. It is no longer simply the pursuit of sturdiness and durability, but also the diversity of furniture styles, the versatility and flexibility of the combination.
There are many materials used in panel furniture . In the past, solid wood was the most common material for making furniture, and now all kinds of artificial boards, plastics, glass, textiles, sponges, leather, metal, etc. are widely used in panel furniture. It is also characterized by the combination of magnesium-aluminum and eucalyptus, the combination of stainless steel and leather, and the combination of glass jewelry and metal, glass and plastic. It is novel and natural, and is full of the beauty of the times, reflecting the connotation of today's furniture culture. Coupled with the clever application of lighting, this type of furniture is distinctive and eclectic. The natural bright color, light and simple structure is the dominant design idea of ​​panel furniture. Antique carved furniture is characterized by exquisiteness and luxury, but due to its large size and high price, the style has certain limitations. In fact, most people still prefer simple, modern and modern furniture, and panel furniture can reflect this.
In addition, the current panel furniture emphasizes individuality, serialization and cultural connotation. Manufacturers usually develop designs around a theme, and they are more convenient for consumers to choose and mix. Some also specialize in the development of various furniture accessories and accessories to meet the needs of consumers to achieve personalized furniture layout, which will certainly become another trend of furniture popular.
The popularity of panel furniture is mainly due to its variety of veneers , which give people a variety of colors and textures. Another major feature of panel furniture is its non-deformability . It can be said that the panel furniture has more changes in appearance design and more personality.
The combination of panel furniture usually uses various metal hardware, which is very convenient for assembly and disassembly. The panel furniture with high processing precision can be disassembled and installed multiple times.
The shortcomings of panel furniture are mostly in the environmental protection. For example, some manufacturers produce materials such as particleboard, and the veneers are not all-inclusive, and it is easy to release formaldehyde harmful to the human body. Furniture produced using wood-based panels with excessive formaldehyde will cause indoor environment pollution. Consumers should pay attention to the purchase, you can open the door or drawer to smell, if there is a strong irritating smell, it is mostly formaldehyde, it is not suitable for purchase.
Third, the price factor determines everything
As we all know, in addition to considering the style of furniture, the price factor is a key point that people can't ignore, and the high price of solid wood furniture often stops most consumers. As far as solid wood furniture is concerned, the quality of its craftsmanship and the price of wood used directly affect the price of solid wood furniture. Therefore, to choose solid wood furniture, we must first look at the material. For example, mahogany, the price of different tree species is different. For example, rosewood is relatively better than rosewood; red eucalyptus, imported red eucalyptus is much more expensive than domestic red eucalyptus; and white oak, maple, teak, ash, eucalyptus , eucalyptus and miscellaneous wood. The higher the grade of solid wood used and the better the process, the higher the price of furniture. Generally speaking, in terms of price, the price of the same kind of wood, all solid wood furniture is much higher than the price of imitation wood, solid wood and wood-based panels combined with furniture.
The price of panel furniture is generally much lower than the price of solid wood furniture, but it depends on the level of the brand. For example, in general, the price of a large wardrobe of domestic famous brand furniture is about 10,000 yuan. However, it is undeniable that the price of imported panel furniture with excellent workmanship and novel style may far exceed the price of solid wood furniture with rough workmanship.
