Mistakes in buying solid wood furniture

**Misunderstanding 1: Buying Solid Wood Furniture – Distinguishing Between "Solid Wood" and "All Solid Wood"** When you see the term "solid wood furniture" on the market, it doesn't necessarily mean that the product is truly made of solid wood. Only "all solid wood furniture" qualifies as real solid wood. All-solid wood furniture is made entirely from natural, unprocessed wood without any artificial boards or composite materials. However, some products labeled as "solid wood" are actually made from spliced wood or composite wood. Spliced wood consists of small wooden pieces, often leftover scraps, glued together during the manufacturing process. This not only introduces industrial adhesives but also increases the risk of formaldehyde emissions. Composite wood, on the other hand, is made from compressed wood particles, which means it’s not a single piece of wood at all. To avoid being misled, always ask the seller if the furniture is "all solid wood." This simple step can help ensure you’re getting what you pay for. --- **Misunderstanding 2: The More Expensive, the Better** Many people believe that buying expensive solid wood furniture guarantees quality, but this is not always true. Cases like the Da Vinci scandal have shown that even high-priced furniture may be fake or made with veneer instead of real wood. As a buyer, it's important to do your research and check the furniture from multiple angles. Remember, real solid wood isn’t about price—it’s about the material and craftsmanship. Some of the best solid wood furniture I’ve seen was made by my parents using simple, untreated logs, even if they weren’t perfect in appearance. --- **Misunderstanding 3: Beauty Equals Quality** While aesthetics play a big role in furniture selection, too much glossy paint or heavy color can be harmful. Paints often contain formaldehyde and heavy metals like lead and mercury, which can negatively affect health. Even water-based paints, though safer than oil-based ones, still carry some level of these substances. When shopping, avoid overly shiny or colorful furniture. Opt for natural, lighter tones that reflect the true beauty of the wood rather than masking it with layers of paint. --- **Misunderstanding 4: Heaviness Equals Mahogany** Mahogany is known for its elegance, collectible value, and high cost. Unfortunately, this has led some unscrupulous sellers to deceive customers. To create the illusion of weight, some mahogany furniture is filled with lead, steel pipes, or cement. Another common trick is "white skin," where only the outer layer is real mahogany while the inside is cheaper wood. To protect yourself, always specify in the contract whether the furniture is "all mahogany" or just made with mahogany as the main component. Ask for a material test certificate or report. There's also an old saying: "Overnight rosewood water turns green." If you take a small piece of genuine Burmese, Vietnamese, or Hainan rosewood and soak it in water overnight, the water will glow green. You might want to try this test. --- **Misunderstanding 5: Solid Wood Is Pollution-Free** Many people think that solid wood furniture is completely safe because it’s natural. However, even solid wood can have some level of pollution. Unless the furniture is made from pure, unprocessed wood without any carving or treatment, there could still be traces of chemicals used in finishing or adhesives. So, while solid wood is generally safer than particleboard or MDF, it’s still important to choose high-quality, well-ventilated furniture and allow it to air out before use.
