Different materials have different weights, so it's easy to try out whether there is anything mixed together. An adult man in his twenties and thirties usually needs some strength to lift an armchair, which proves that the weight is normal. If it is easy to move, it proves that the weight is insufficient and other materials may be mixed in the middle.

2. Look at the water content

Moisture content is a very important factor affecting the quality of furniture. There are many mahogany merchants who use nonstandard wood with high moisture content as their furniture. You can put your palm between the gap and the panel to see the flatness and water vapor.

3. Quality and structure

The quality of wood itself is also one of the factors to judge whether it is pure mahogany furniture. Falcon riveted structure is the representative process of mahogany furniture production. Good mahogany furniture is completely falcon riveted structure, which is very beautiful and firm.

Step 4 look at the weight

Real mahogany furniture is strong and firm, and its texture is particularly compact, which is heavier than ordinary oak. The weight of fake mahogany furniture with the same shape and size is much lower than that of real mahogany furniture, so the weight is also an important reason for identification.

Maintenance method of mahogany:

1, keep away from direct sunlight.

Mahogany contains a certain amount of water, which will expand with the humidity of the air, so you must pay more attention to whether it is in direct sunlight at home. Mahogany furniture should not be placed in places that are too humid or ventilated and dry, such as hot and humid places, and places where air convection occurs such as windows and doorways.

2. Don't let the wet cloth get on your body when wiping.

Wet cloth is the natural enemy of mahogany furniture, because the moisture in wet cloth will form particles when mixed with dust and sand in the air. Once rubbed, it is easy to wear the furniture surface. To keep mahogany furniture clean, you can gently brush off the dust with a soft brush every day, and then slowly wipe it with a dry cloth made of cotton and linen. If mahogany furniture is stained, you can wipe it with a small amount of water-soluble or oily cleaner. However, chemical brighteners cannot be used to avoid damaging the paint film on the surface of mahogany furniture.

3. Don't lift the desktop when moving.

When carrying mahogany furniture, you must lift it off the ground, so it is advisable to lift it lightly. Do not drag on the ground to avoid damaging the structure. When moving mahogany tables and chairs, pay attention to the desktop and chair surface to prevent scratches. It is best to remove the cupboard door before handling. On the one hand, it can reduce the weight, on the other hand, it can avoid accidents caused by the movement of the cabinet door.
