Disadvantages of poplar furniture
1, poplar is divided into old and new. The disadvantages of new poplar furniture are easy deformation, insect-loving and serious shrinkage. The disadvantage of old poplar is that there are old wormholes, old cracks and old tenons in some places.
2. Poplar furniture that is strictly dried in the drying room is not easy to crack, but poplar is not easy to dry. At present, there are many poplar boards on the market because of many problems in cost or equipment, and the wood drying is not in place, so the poplar furniture made is easy to crack and deform.
Selection method of poplar furniture
1, production quality: mainly depends on cutting quality, edge and surface decoration quality and plate mouth quality. When buying decorative patterns of furniture, we should pay attention to the natural smoothness of wood grain patterns, and don't feel artificial. For the purchase of symmetrical furniture, we should pay more attention to the consistency and harmony of colors and lines on the symmetrical board, which makes people feel that the symmetrical board is like a piece of material.
2, look at the material: poplar furniture in different ages has different prices and different values. Pay attention to whether it is new or old when you buy it.
3, look at the process: touch the surface of poplar furniture with your hand, whether there are uneven or barbed foreign bodies.
4. See if it is environmentally friendly: At present, the harmful substances in furniture are mainly free formaldehyde released by wood-based panels and adhesives.
And soluble lead, chromium, cadmium and mercury in furniture paint film. Maintenance of poplar furniture
1, avoid direct sunlight. If the exquisite log furniture has been exposed to the sun, it is easy to fade locally, and the wood is too dry and prone to cracks.
2. Pay attention to dryness. Keep the environment dry and ventilated.
3. Prevent dust.
If you can't clean and dust regularly, it is easy to accumulate dust in tiny gaps, which will affect the appearance. At the same time, dust is the killer that makes wooden furniture "get old" quickly. 4. Be careful when using. Always pay attention to prevent bumping and cracking. If tenons are found in the stressed place during use or moving, they must be glued and sealed again before use.
5. Wax properly. Don't use it too frequently. Usually it can be used once every 2-3 months. In a relatively dry environment, the maintenance interval can be appropriately shortened and maintained once a month or so.
