More and more materials are used for furniture manufacturing. There are two most common: solid wood and wood-based panels. The two materials are called solid wood furniture and panel furniture.
When buying furniture, many people will face solid wood furniture or panel furniture, and don't know which one to choose.
In fact, solid wood furniture and panel furniture each have their own characteristics and advantages and disadvantages, as long as you choose according to your actual needs.
First of all, from the perspective of production materials:
1) Solid wood furniture refers to pure solid wood furniture, that is, all materials are natural materials that have not been reprocessed and do not use any wood-based panels. The most common furniture is imitation solid wood furniture, which is a mixture of solid wood and wood-based panels, that is, particleboard and medium density board are used for side panels, top, bottom, and partitions, and solid wood is used for doors and drawers.
2) Panel furniture refers to furniture made of particleboard and medium-density board for surface veneer or sprayed with various colors of paint. At present, the most common panel furniture is mainly wood-grain simulation veneer, the effect is very realistic, and the finish and hand feel are very good.
Secondly, from the perspective of furniture style:
1) The style of solid wood furniture (pure solid wood furniture) is simple and natural, and the raw materials are relatively more environmentally friendly, which satisfies people's psychology of returning to nature, but it is rarely loved by young people.
The main disadvantage of solid wood furniture is that it is easy to deform and difficult to maintain. For example, it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, too cold or too hot, and too dry and humid environments are not suitable for solid wood furniture; if you do not pay attention to it during use, frequent switching of the air conditioner causes excessive temperature and humidity changes, even qualified solid wood furniture products sometimes Deformation and cracking will also occur; it can be said that no matter what kind of wood is used and how elegant the workmanship is, it is difficult to avoid these problems.
2) Relatively speaking, panel furniture has more changes in appearance design, which can show individuality and meet people's pursuit of fashion and individuality. Moreover, the panel furniture is not easy to be deformed or cracked, and it is better maintained. Because man-made panels are basically made of wood scraps, panel furniture with qualified environmental protection indicators virtually protects limited natural resources.
Intimate tips:
From the point of view of production methods, solid wood furniture and panel furniture are also different. Solid wood furniture usually uses adhesives, and the finished product generally cannot be disassembled, which is very inconvenient when moving. Panel furniture usually uses a variety of metal hardware, which is very convenient to install and disassemble. Panel furniture with high processing precision can be disassembled and installed many times.
