Mahogany veneer, rosewood veneer, a variety of wood veneer

A number of wooden furniture, marking only the materials used, such as mahogany, rosewood, etc., indicating little wood, non-wood, as well as the amount contained in solid wood. This is for the majority of consumers do not understand the wood furniture, in the purchase of it there is a blind spot, it is easy for merchants fooled. Manager of a furniture store had told reporters that, in addition to solid wood furniture, there is also a kind of imitation wood furniture, from the point of view the appearance of wood, color and feel and solid wood furniture are the same, but in fact is a mixed production of solid wood and wood-based panel furniture, such as side - board, shelf and so the use of veneer veneer particleboard or MDF, the main frame, doors and drawers are solid wood, etc. used.
To an ordinary chair, for example, of just over 70 yuan of non-wood can be solid wood chairs can be sold for 300 yuan or more. Some unscrupulous traders before the use of wood furniture is no corresponding national standards in cyberspace, often as the non-wood furniture, solid wood furniture to sell, in which profit margins are staggering. The fabled "solid wood furniture," because the mix of the MDF and composite board, product quality can not be guaranteed. There were even some unscrupulous vendors shoddy, Zaochu furniture there is excessive formaldehyde and other harmful substances in question. Hope: "standard" to regulate the market

May 1 start of the "wooden furniture, general technical conditions" national standard, wooden furniture into "solid wood Furniture, plywood, Furniture, and integrated three categories of furniture", which was again divided into solid wood furniture for the whole solid wood furniture, wood furniture and solid wood veneer furniture three categories. Solid wood veneer of what is and what is the definition of solid wood with a clear identity, required product testing book, the components must be clearly marked. The introduction of the implementation of this standard not only for consumers in the process of buying wood furniture provide a reference, but also to provide a test of such disputes, and rights based.

Municipal Quality and Technical Supervision Division is responsible for standardization of people told reporters in mid-May last year, they had the urban furniture, solid wood furniture market systematic special investigations. However, due to lack of standards, working hard to practical results. After the introduction of new standards, in the detection of the wood furniture has become more strict, clear indicators, making the results of testing data are comparable, to better define the quality of wood furniture. At the same time, the business sector also said that in the past for such disputes, the absence of specific criteria, often can only be handled by mediation and can not claim to support and help consumers.
