1. The gap between the seams of furniture doors and drawers: if the seam is large, it indicates rough workmanship, and over time, it may deform.
2. Single-box or double-box construction: usually, besides the outer layer of board, there should be another layer of panel inside the furniture, which is called a double-box. Double-box furniture is both aesthetically pleasing and sturdy.
1. To distinguish between paper laminate and wood laminate in board furniture, the simplest method is to observe the pattern. Wood laminate has natural knots, color differences, and varying textures. Additionally, you can feel the difference by touch.
2. Edgebanding is very important for board furniture. Pay attention to the quality of the edgebanding material and whether there are any unevenness or lifting issues. It's especially important to check if all six sides are sealed. Even though formaldehyde-free adhesives are used, some volatile gases may still be present during the production of engineered wood. A tight seal benefits indoor environmental protection.
3. Check the sturdiness of the furniture structure.
4. The quality of the paint. Are there any streaks in the pigmentation? Is the paint too thick on the corners? Are there any cracks or bubbles? These are all things to carefully examine. You should also ask the salesperson how many coats of paint have been applied. Naturally, the more coats, the better.
5. From the hinge slots and drilled holes, you can determine whether the board furniture uses medium density fiberboard (MDF) or particleboard. The best way is to carefully observe the hinge slots and drilled holes, where the internal structure is exposed, to see if particleboard or MDF was used.
6. Hardware usage: the ability to easily disassemble and reassemble is one of the greatest advantages of board furniture, so the quality of the connectors directly affects the overall quality of the furniture. Imported furniture is more expensive due to these details.
