Method 1: Moving inspection focus: furniture component

The types of raw materials and materials used in mahogany furniture are different, and the weight of furniture is also different. If you want to check if the selected mahogany furniture is enough, try to move the furniture. Usually, a 40-year-old man can lift a circle chair if he is struggling, which proves that the seat is normal; if it is moved easily, it proves that the weight is not enough.

Method 2: Touch detection focus: water content

The moisture content of wood directly affects the quality of furniture. Whether it is a factory in the south or in the north, it may cause cracking of mahogany furniture due to misuse of wood with irregular drying and high water content. You can gently touch the heart panel and the seam part of the furniture panel with your fingers or palms. If it is smooth and smooth, it proves that the wood moisture content of the furniture is up to 11.4% in the north; if there is slight cracking or cracking, it proves that it was made at that time. The wood interior moisture content of the furniture is high and the quality is not good.

Method 3: Focus on inspection: the quality of the wood itself

Even if the same kind of wood has good or bad points, the purpose of testing the quality and thickness of wood is to determine the quality of mahogany furniture. When testing, you can use your fingernails to align in the direction perpendicular to the wood texture and observe and experience the diameter of the wood tube hole. Generally, the wood is fine and high-grade, the diameter of the pipe hole is small, and the degree of blockage of the wood is small. When the wood itself is rough and the diameter of the pipe hole is large, the degree of the blockage of the wood is larger.

Method 4: Lifting and shaking detection focus: structural tightness

Good mahogany furniture is known for its solid enamel structure, which makes the furniture durable and durable without the use of nails. You can lift the legs on the side of the mahogany seat and gently let it fall to the ground. If the sound of the landing is simple and powerful, it proves that the structure is moderately tight. In addition, for table and chair type mahogany furniture, you can also use the method of shaking to detect the firmness of the structure.

Method 5: Focus on testing: ratio of materials used

The mahogany furniture is divided into two types: “full mahogany” and “part of mahogany”. The price of the former is about 1.5 times higher than the latter. Usually, you can turn small pieces of furniture such as tables and chairs upside down and see if the wood used in the interior and concealed parts is exactly the same as the main structure or with sapwood. If they are identical, that is, all-heartwood furniture, the heartwood is orange-red, purple-red-brown and black; if it has sapwood, that is, "partial mahogany furniture", the sapwood is yellowish and taupe.
