1. The gap between the seams of furniture doors and drawers. If the seam is large, it indicates rough craftsmanship and over time, it may deform;

1. The difference between paper-laminated and wood-laminated board furniture can be most simply identified by observing the patterns. Wood laminate has natural knots, color differences, and varying grain patterns. A tightly sealed edge is beneficial for environmental health in your home.
3. You also need to check the robust construction of the furniture structure to see if it uses particleboard or medium-density fiberboard (MDF).
6. The use of hardware components allows for flexible disassembly and reassembly.
4. The quality of the paint. Are there streaks in the pigmentation? Is the paint applied too thickly on the corners? Are there any cracks or bubbles? These are all things to carefully examine.

2. Sealing the edges of panel furniture is crucial. Pay attention to the quality of the sealing material and whether the edges are uneven or lifted. Especially important is whether all six sides are sealed. Even though formaldehyde-free adhesives are used, during the manufacturing process of artificial boards, there may still be some volatile gases. One of the best methods to determine if the material used is MDF or particleboard is to carefully observe the hinge slots and drilled holes, as they expose the internal structure. This is the biggest advantage of panel furniture, so the quality of the connectors directly affects the overall quality of the furniture. Imported furniture is expensive precisely because of these meticulous details.
