In furniture markets, the styles of furniture are various, with novel patterns and countless materials. Among all these choices, it is necessary to carefully distinguish which furniture can be purchased and which cannot.
Firstly, furniture made from man-made boards that has not been fully sealed should not be bought. Furniture parts made from man-made boards have very strict requirements for sealing treatment, especially particleboards used in furniture, which should be completely sealed. This can limit the release of harmful substances contained in man-made boards. However, many manufacturers currently save materials by only performing partial sealing. It's best not to buy such furniture.
Secondly, furniture with relatively low prices and easy bargaining should not be bought. Without considering other factors, if bargaining is so easy, there must be a problem. Some furniture is particularly cheap, sometimes you can even bargain down by over a thousand yuan. In fact, such furniture is mostly made using large quantities of inferior and low-cost materials, often appearing valuable on the outside but being worthless inside. Consumers should be careful about this seemingly cheap furniture.
Thirdly, furniture with strong irritating odors should not be bought. Some furniture, like cabinets, when buying, opening drawers or cabinet doors releases an odor so strong that it makes your eyes water. This indicates that the formaldehyde content in this set of furniture is seriously excessive. Such furniture is highly harmful to health and generally not recommended for purchase. If purchasing such furniture is unavoidable due to certain restrictions, it’s best to air it out for a while before use.
