The weight of furniture varies depending on the type and proportion of raw materials used in mahogany furniture. If you want to test whether the selected mahogany furniture is heavy enough, you can try to move the furniture. Usually, if a man of about one year old can lift an armchair with some effort, it proves that the weight of the seat is normal. If he can lift it easily, it proves that the weight of the chair is not enough.
Touch: Check the moisture content
The moisture content of wood directly affects the quality of furniture.
manufacturers in both the south and the north may cause mahogany furniture to crack due to misuse of wood that is not properly dried and has a high moisture content. You can gently touch the core board and seams of the furniture panel with your fingers or palms. If it is flat and smooth, it proves that the moisture content of the wood used to make the furniture has reached the standard of .% in the north. If there are slight cracks or explosions, it proves that the wood used to make the furniture was inside The moisture content is on the high side but not high quality.
Design: Testing the quality of wood
Even the same kind of wood is good or bad. Therefore, the purpose of testing the quality and thickness of the wood is to determine the quality of mahogany furniture. During the inspection, you can use your fingernail to scratch in the direction perpendicular to the wood grain and observe and experience the diameter of the wood tube hole. Usually the wood is finer and the diameter of the high-end tube holes is small, so the wood blocks the hand less when paddling.
Lifting and shaking: testing the tightness of the structure
Good mahogany furniture is known for its solid mortise and tenon structure, which can make the furniture strong and durable without using nails. You can lift the leg on one side of the mahogany seat and then gently let it fall to the ground. If the landing sound is crisp and strong, it proves that the structure is moderately tight. In addition, for mahogany furniture such as tables and chairs, you can also use the shaking method to test the firmness of the tenon structure.
Turn: Check the proportion of materials used
Mahogany furniture is divided into two types: full mahogany and partial mahogany. The price of the former is . times higher than the latter. You can turn small pieces of furniture, such as tables and chairs, upside down to see whether the wood used inside is exactly the same as that used in the main structure or has sap wood. If they are exactly the same, the heartwood of all mahogany furniture using heartwood will be orange-red, purple-reddish brown and black. If there is sapwood, the sapwood of some mahogany furniture will be yellowish and taupe.
