How to buy oak furniture

1. Whether the wood grain is clear

Oak furniture has a unique wood grain. The clearer the wood grain, the higher the value. Whether it is beautiful or not is related to the buyer's aesthetics and aesthetic level.However, one thing is certain. The stronger the pattern and “pictographic” of the natural patterns on the surface of oak furniture, the better, while miscellaneous wood furniture does not have the unique wood grain of oak furniture.


2. Whether the wood is dry

Due to the unusually hard and heavy texture of oak, it is more difficult to remove moisture after the trees are cut down.Many furniture manufacturers are eager to make a profit. When the wood is not yet dry, they make furniture, and furniture made of wood that has not been stripped of moisture begins to deform after a year and a half.At this time, it may be more difficult for consumers to get compensation for losses.


3. Is the production exquisite?

At present, the production level of oak furniture on the market varies greatly, some are quite beautiful, while others are rough.Whether the production is exquisite or not is also one of the references for buying oak furniture.


4. Whether the wood color is pure

Oak furniture should choose the original color type, because this production method best reflects the characteristics of the oak background color.The coating on the surface should not change or conceal the true color of the wood.In this way, it is easier to identify whether the material used in the furniture is real oak, and it is currently the collection value of the natural color type in the world.At present, there are many oak furniture on the market with poor natural color, which will undoubtedly reduce their collection value.Most of the inferior products have impure wood color, and even have miscellaneous spots and black spots.


5. Whether the quality is fine and clean

Oak wood is thicker, and if you want to make furniture, you must use paint to make it dark.Therefore, if you buy dark-painted oak furniture, you must be careful and cautious.Take a closer look at the wood of the furniture that is not painted with dark wood. As for the miscellaneous wood furniture, it does not have the unique cleanliness of oak furniture.


6. Whether the wood is straight

Because oak is easy to “out of shape” during the dehydration process, many oak trees are no longer suitable as furniture materials due to bending and deformation after dehydration.However, because oak wood is more expensive, many manufacturers still use this deformed wood to make furniture.There are also manufacturers who deliberately do not dry the moisture in the hard wood in order to increase the weight of the hard wood in the south in order to fake oak.If consumers purchase furniture made of this wood, the loss will be even greater.


Specific methods of oak furniture maintenance

1. If the bungalow is in a low-lying house, the furniture legs must be properly raised when the ground is wet, otherwise the legs are susceptible to moisture corrosion.

2. Do not use wet rags or rough rags to wipe hardwood furniture, especially old furniture.Use a clean and soft cotton cloth, add a little furniture wax or walnut oil after a while, and gently wipe back and forth along the wood grain.

3. Avoid placing too heavy items on the surface of the furniture for a long time, especially TVs, fish tanks, etc., which will deform the furniture.It is not advisable to lay airtight materials such as plastic sheeting on the desktop.Hot water cups, etc. cannot be placed directly on the surface of the furniture, leaving traces that are not easy to remove.Colored liquids, such as ink, should be avoided on the desktop.
