Mahogany cabinets are really fake materials and crafts

The mahogany cabinets are indeed good cabinets, but many so-called "redwood" cabinets on the market are not all true, and many of them are not directly proportional to the price. To learn to distinguish between mahogany cabinets is true or false, there are ways. Be aware of identifying materials and identifying processes.

Whether the mahogany cabinet materials are shoddy, whether the craft is cut or not, and whether it is fine, not only determines the use value of the cabinet, but also is the profit-making point for the merchant to reduce the production cost. Recognize these tricks, you can accurately judge the true value of the cabinet at the time of purchase, and prevent the use of information asymmetry to spend more money or even be cheated.

Material identification

The same category of rosewood fraud

Several types of mahogany in the same category are difficult for consumers to distinguish because of similar texture, properties, color, and density. In terms of price, the prices of different materials are different, and the production costs are also different. For the purpose of profit-seeking, the merchant will pretend to be a high-priced mahogany with low-priced mahogany.

At present, the most common in the market is the confusion of seven species of red rosewood and other species. Among the seven types of wood, S. chinensis has the highest cost and is the most popular. Made from Central America, Dalbergia sinensis, Bahrain Dalbergia and A. sinensis from Southeast Asian countries are often used as a counterfeit Dalbergia. Consumers should be cautious when buying too cheap. Please ask the merchant to write the scientific name of the wood used. Some parts should be marked with other materials.

Discrimination method: Compared with Dalbergia chinensis, Dwarf Dalbergia is produced in Central America, and the growth wheel is more obvious. The black and yellow lines with clear texture can be seen on the cut surface of the cabinet, and the lines are thicker. The new cut surface of the heartwood of Sian rosewood is dark red or purple red, and the dimpled Dalbergia is orange-red, but the color is darker and darker, and the colors are closer.

Merchants also use the same texture of wood to impersonate mahogany materials. For example, ironwood beans pretend to be red rosewood, and Kodiva red sandalwood (commonly known as ketan) is a sandalwood rosewood (commonly known as lobular rosewood). Some merchants will use it in hidden parts such as dental plates and side panels, and bold businesses will use fake materials.

Arguing about materials, crafting mahogany cabinets, true and false, you see

Sapwood shoddy

The dark part of the wood is called "heartwood", while the whitish part that surrounds the heartwood is called "white skin", also called "sapwood". According to the national standard "Redwood", "Redwood" is defined as the heartwood of the genus Pterocarpus, Dalbergia, Diospyros, Yam, and Teppanyaki. Therefore, only wood heartwood can be called "redwood", white skin can not Called "Redwood."

The white skin is easily eroded by insects, which not only affects the beauty of the cabinet, but also affects the firmness and service life of the cabinet. From the perspective of economic costs, the price of heartwood is dozens of times that of white skin. According to the national light industry standard "Dark and expensive hardwood cabinets": "The front side of the product should be free of sapwood; the sapwood content of the surface of other parts should not exceed 1/10 of the surface area of ​​the part (width less than 8mm) Material does not count)".

Discrimination method: There is a clear color difference between the white skin and the heart material, and the color is generally adjusted by painting. If the color of the cabinet is not black or if the pattern is not visible, you need to pay attention.

It can be carefully discerned under strong light, and whether it has texture inside. If you are sure to purchase, you can ask the shop home sandpaper to polish some of the paint to observe the quality of the inner wood. If the cabinet is custom-made, you can carefully observe whether the cabinet is whitened and the material is flawed before painting on the finished product.

Discrimination process

榫卯 structure cut corner

The 榫卯 structure is the essence of Chinese classical (classical decoration renderings) cabinets. It does not need a nail and a rivet to make the cabinet components firmly combined. However, in the production process, some merchants use iron nails or even glue instead to reduce labor and material use costs.

Discrimination method: When purchasing, carefully observe whether the joint position of the parts is firm and tight, and whether there is any trace of the polished surface to block the nails. If nails are used, the probability of cracking of the surrounding wood is greater. It can also be detected by magnetite or metal detectors.

Concealed parts

The mahogany cabinets are made of materials. Cabinets made of a complete piece of wood have a high ornamental value and are called "one wood and one device". Such cabinets have higher economic value. Because the materials are precious, the merchants often use small materials to dig and splicing to complete the production in the inconspicuous position of the cabinet.

The excavation is often filled with small materials to form a monolith. If the cabinet is bumped or the material is unbalanced, there is also a way to make up the wood powder putty, that is, using wood powder and glue paste in the gap, so that the appearance looks like complete wood.

Discrimination method: Digging is not a fake. In some special places such as wardrobes, chairs (chair decoration renderings) panels, countertops, etc., where large areas of wood are used, digging is often seen. It is a way to identify the advantages and disadvantages of cabinet materials, consumers can judge the value of cabinets according to the area of ​​the excavation. Merchants usually do not dig in obvious parts, and should be carefully observed in some hidden parts, such as the back of the chair and the inner panel of the cabinet.
