Maybe, someone told you that solid wood furniture is better. Solid wood furniture is environmentally friendly, natural, and highly value-preserving. Perhaps, someone will tell you that panel furniture is good, panel furniture is fashionable, economical, easy to assemble, and easy to match. The public says that the public is justified, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable. Is not let you choose blindly? Today, the editor will analyze, is solid wood furniture really better than panel furniture?
Solid wood furniture is more environmentally friendly than panel furniture?
From the perspective of ordinary people, solid wood furniture must be very environmentally friendly, because it is made of wood. The panel furniture must not be environmentally friendly, because it is a panel, which contains a lot of gum. Actually, this kind of view is not objective enough.
First of all, solid wood furniture is indeed made of wood, but the production of wood also has a lot of attention. If the whole body of the furniture is made of a whole piece of wood (as is the case with many mahogany furniture), and no tooth-jointed wood is used at all, then there is no doubt about its value. But according to the editor, at least 50% of the brands in the market that claim to be solid wood furniture use tooth joints and miscellaneous wood as auxiliary materials for furniture, and synthetic glue is also used in the connection of wood boards.
Secondly, if it is painted solid wood furniture, the paint will also increase the formaldehyde burden of the furniture. Many small brands will use some unknown wood lacquers, causing the pungent smell of solid wood furniture. If you have visited a store, you must be familiar with the smell of formaldehyde in some regional exhibition halls.
The panel furniture has long left the impression that it is not environmentally friendly. In fact, it depends on the specific situation. Some poor-quality panel homes do have such hidden dangers. The edge banding is easy to fall off, and the panels are not refined enough, resulting in short service life. The inner panels are exposed and the formaldehyde inside is wantonly volatilized. But according to the editor's understanding, there are also many high-quality panel furniture that are guaranteed. The furniture has been used for many years and is still in good condition. Therefore, the edge banding is tight enough, the finish is professional enough, and the formaldehyde emission of the paint-free panel furniture will not exceed the health standard. In particular, the formaldehyde standards of many boards are up to standard and will not affect human health.
Is solid wood furniture more valuable than panel furniture?
When you buy solid wood furniture, the shopping guide may tell you that the more you use solid wood furniture, the better it looks, and it’s okay to pass it down for generations, because it has value preservation. However, when the panel furniture is worn out, it can only be thrown away, and there is no room for value preservation. The editor tells you that this statement also needs to be studied.
If it is furniture made of very valuable wood, the value preservation space is very considerable (such as mahogany, but it is too expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it). There are also some woods such as walnut, oak, elm, etc. The most important thing is 100% pure wood species, and the value is relatively high. However, the value of some "solid wood furniture" made of unknown hard miscellaneous wood joints and splicing needs to be considered, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be old and cracked.
The biggest advantage of panel furniture is the price, which is affordable and suitable for the common people. Although there is no such thing as value preservation, some high-quality furniture can also be used for ten or twenty years. There are also good and bad products.
Is solid wood furniture better than panel furniture?
Many people say that solid wood furniture is a symbol of taste, and taste and style are indeed applicable to people who have experience and accumulated over time.
