Several points to buy mahogany furniture

Due to some loose mahogany furniture, most of them are not into the plaque, the proportion is not uniform, and most of the Vietnamese mahogany furniture is not in accordance with the traditional craft, not in the strict scale and 榫卯 structure, but the use of nails, wooden tips, fake榫 and glue paste to fix the assembly of furniture, plus the price is cheap, quite popular with consumers. Because of this, after 3-5 years, these furniture will loosen due to glue failure! The furniture made in this way will accumulate over time, and will loosen when it is loosened by the external force. Once it falls, it will cost a new amount of money to find a professional understanding and maintain it! After all, the furniture bought has become a pile of mahogany scrap! Moreover, these cheap Vietnamese furniture, the workmanship is very rough, mostly made up of scraps, some parts are made of some small materials, and then through coloring, polishing, consumers can not distinguish.

There are indeed many consumers, especially those who are just getting started. When the materials are real and the price is cheap, they buy them, so they will buy inferior furniture like “Vietnamese furniture”. It is necessary to judge whether the mahogany furniture is good or bad, the material is only a part of it, and it needs to be judged from the aspects of style, usability, craftsmanship and appreciation. For the purchase of mahogany furniture, as a consumer who likes mahogany furniture, how should I buy mahogany furniture? What issues should I pay attention to when purchasing?

First, identify the true and false of the material

For mahogany furniture, the material is the foundation, the production of the enamel structure, the carving of the ornamentation, etc. are all built on the mahogany. According to the definition of national standards, the range of redwood is 5 genera and 8 categories. 5 genera: red sandalwood, Dalbergia, genus, genus, and genus. Class 8: rosewood, rosewood, fragrant wood, black rosewood, red rosewood, ebony, striped ebony and chicken wing wood. 33 species: sandalwood rosewood, large fruit rosewood, Vietnamese rosewood, Andaman rosewood, hedgehog rosewood, Indian rosewood, sacred rosewood, bird foot rosewood, scented rosewood, knife-shaped black rosewood, black rosewood, broadleaf Dalbergia, L. black Dalbergia, East African black Dalbergia, Brazilian black Dalbergia, Amazonian Dalbergia, Belize Dalbergia, Brazilian Dalbergia, Sai Dalberghu, Sian rosewood, F. rosewood, Central American Dalbergia, A. sinensis, Dwarf Dalbergia, African yam, white flower yam, iron knives, ebony, thick ebony, medicinal ebony, poncho ebony, Sulawesi ebony, Philippine ebony. Furniture made of wood other than the 33 species specified in the National Standard for Redwood cannot be called mahogany furniture.

Therefore, at the time of purchase, it is necessary to judge the true and false materials of mahogany furniture through wood identification certificates, product introductions, reading, asking, smelling, touching, and product commitments.

Second, based on interest and budget

At the time of purchase, you can choose the right furniture according to the decoration style of the home and the size of the room. It can also be customized according to personal preferences. According to the style, mahogany furniture can be divided into Ming style furniture, Qing style furniture, new Chinese style furniture, etc.; according to the grades, it is divided into high-end, middle-end and low-end. According to the mahogany quality, the price range of mahogany furniture of different materials is different. The price of sandalwood rosewood and huanghuali is higher, and the red rosewood, red rosewood and Burmese rosewood are successively reduced. The development of everything should respect the needs of the times, as is the development of mahogany furniture. The emergence of new Chinese-style mahogany furniture, on the surface, is the designer behind the scenes. It is actually guided by the changes in people's current needs and lifestyles, because it is more in line with the aesthetic and living needs of modern people.

Third, look at the style

People look at the beauty and coordination of mahogany furniture through modeling, and thus rise to an emotional appeal. Through the "shape" of mahogany furniture, you can see its design concept and the composition of the concept, you can also see the level of a designer or producer.

1. Some types of furniture have provenances, such as circle chairs, Taishi chairs, and Arhat beds. The original appearance of the furniture, pay attention to every detail when high imitation, to achieve both style and spirit.

2. Harmony is beauty. Looking at the whole place, the feeling of giving people is unsatisfactory and uncomfortable. Everything in the world and its operation have the same aesthetic principles and aesthetic spirit, as well as furniture.

Fourth, judge the merits of the process

For the material and craft of mahogany furniture, people often say that "three-pointed seven-point art", it can be seen that the process occupies a very important position in mahogany furniture. To judge the pros and cons of mahogany furniture, you can start from the following aspects:

(1) From the perspective of carving, check whether the ornament is delicate and realistic. Carving is an indispensable part of mahogany furniture decoration. It is divided into relief, deep relief, enamel carving, openwork carving, full carving, etc. No matter which kind of carving, it should be familiar with the degree, the method is delicate, and the knife is skillful;

(2) From the structure, it is necessary to see whether the structure is firmly in place, compact and orderly. Some poor mahogany furniture manufacturers use iron nails to assist the reinforcement of the load-bearing parts in order to save labor costs. If there are nails, the service life is limited. For this, a metal tester can be used for detection.

(3) Look at the lines and planes, see if the plane of the furniture is smooth and smooth, and pay attention to the position of the turn; whether the lines are exquisite and beautiful; listen to the real and false parts of the mahogany furniture, especially the joints of the components.

Five, mahogany furniture common shopping misunderstanding

Myth 1: Too much attention to price, cheaper

The purchase of mahogany furniture should first establish a sense of quality, and the pieces of the handed down works are all fine, and bad things will definitely be abandoned. If we are cheap, it is difficult to buy a boutique. Even if the price is high when buying, the appreciation space will be large, and the shoddy furniture, even if the price is lower, it is impossible to appreciate.

Myth 2: Only care about the true and false of the material

Material protection is the minimum guarantee for the purchase of mahogany furniture. A fine mahogany furniture has high requirements for material selection. It must be a selection of large materials, no white skin, no patchwork, otherwise the furniture is easy to crack and deform, and it is difficult to use normally. Nothing to talk about.

Myth 3: Only heavy material, no heavy work

Many customers only care about materials when buying mahogany furniture, thinking that as long as the material is good, there is a collection value. I don’t know that mahogany furniture is a three-pointed seven-point art. The material is just the foundation. There is no good workmanship equal to a pile of wood, without any collection value. . The good wood does not mean that the furniture is good, just like the same four treasures of the study, the works of ordinary people and the works of calligraphy and painting, the gap can be imagined. Furniture made of the same wood, good and bad is also a world of difference.

Myth 4: The bigger the style, the better the mahogany furniture is as good as possible.

Chinese traditional furniture pays attention to the beauty and proportion of shapes and lines. Therefore, it is not expected that the bigger the better, the furniture to look at and where it is used. Big and big, bold and small. From the material point of view, it is not the heavier the better, the heavier the more valuable.

The quality of each species is different, and consumers cannot judge the pros and cons of mahogany only by weight. Even the same material, because of the different prices of the place of origin, so the identification of mahogany furniture requires a combination of density, wood grain, color, smell and many other factors.

Myth 5: Too much entangled in the rise and fall of prices

Redwood is a rare tree species, and the scarcity of resources has caused its prices to continue to rise. As a gem of Chinese traditional culture, mahogany furniture combines aesthetics, practicality, collection and many other advantages. Appreciation is an inevitable process. The cyclical fluctuations of prices are normal. If you have already investigated it, you will get it as soon as possible. The bigger.

Myth 6: I think the repurchase is guaranteed

There are a lot of traps here, it is just a means for merchants to divert customers' attention, so that customers can enter the misunderstanding of "no matter what, anyway, they can return the goods in the future, can't eat the loss". I don't know if there is a lot of learning here. First, there are a lot of restrictions on the repurchase. The initiative is entirely in the hands of the merchants. Second, the price of the rosewood is too high. If you want to buy it after the repurchase, you should spend several times more. Therefore, it is still necessary to put good quality in the purchase, one step in place.

Myth 7: It must be "best" to be the best

Ming and Qing furniture is the pinnacle of the history of China's furniture development, leaving us with many classic works with beautiful shapes and high craftsmanship. Imitation is a good thing, but you can't think that something innovative is not good. Furniture is a daily necessities, and it is not necessary to neglect the basic attributes of furniture for the sake of pure antiques. Any art and everything must be developed and innovative to achieve the glory of each era. If our mahogany furniture has always stayed on the antiques, compared with hundreds of years ago, from style to size, it shows that our industry and the industry are too creative.

Chinese furniture is a complete system, both in appearance and in internal construction. It was finally achieved through the inspection and improvement of the dynasties. It is related to the history of each period, the scenes of life and the habits of people. It comes from the cause, the cause of the problem, the change, the caution must be acted upon, not the reintroduction. Nowadays, new Chinese furniture that fully integrates the spirit of Chinese traditional culture and contemporary lifestyle has become a fashion of design and life.

Myth 8: Credibility certification mark

When buying mahogany furniture, if you see a variety of seemingly authoritative certification marks hanging from the sales office, don't trust them. At present, there are still some companies that use false authentication to deceive consumers. These false certifications are varied and many are also in the name of "national" agencies. For example, the name of the certificate includes “green”, “trustworthy products”, “centralized TV station recommended products”, etc., and the units that issue certificates include “China Light and Light Product Quality Assurance Center” and “China International Green Environmental Management Center”. "China Commodity Association", "China Consumers Association" and other famous national institutions. Don't fall into the "certificate" misunderstanding when purchasing mahogany furniture. Because there are some so-called national-level certifications, either the certification authority itself does not have the certification qualification, or there is a marketing-style certification behavior that costs money to buy a certificate, which is basically not authoritative.

Therefore, when purchasing mahogany furniture, consumers should understand in many ways, and should pay more attention to certification, certificates and the like.
