Should mahogany furniture use "glue"?


Help consumers sort out the redwood market

In mahogany furniture known for its "tenon-and-mortise structure", is there any glue that should appear? Recently, the consumer Mr. Huang found that there is a glue at the joint of his circle chair, so he couldn't help but ask a column of a mahogany town hall: "Why does" glue "appear in the mahogany furniture? Will the mahogany furniture with" glue "be added Depreciation? "The mahogany insider revealed that adding glue is actually a" hidden rule ", which is used to" patch "the tenon and tenon structure that is not perfect, making the mahogany furniture stronger. Buy furniture to be patient, mahogany furniture to buy more patient.

A small amount of "glue" in mahogany furniture serves as a reinforcement

When doing maintenance for the circle chair in his home, Mr. Huang found that some joints of the tenon-and-mortise structure had solids similar to dried “glue”. After some inquiries, the answer given by the shopping guide of the purchased brand is: There is indeed a small amount of "glue" at the joint of the furniture tenon-and-mortise structure, and these "glue" are used to reinforce the furniture.



Are all mahogany furniture in the market inseparable from "glue"? With doubts, the author came to a mainstream mahogany furniture store for field visits. During the interview, the shopping guides of some mahogany furniture brands all said that some of their products were indeed reinforced with "glue" at the joints of the tenon and mortise structures. In this regard, Fu Junmin, the general manager of a brand of mahogany furniture, bluntly stated that almost 99% of the products in the mahogany furniture market currently use "glue".

"Glue" plays two roles in mahogany furniture: one is to reinforce the tenon-and-mortise structure that is not 100% rigorous; the other is to make the hardwood furniture made of natural wood undergo thermal expansion and contraction After that, the stability can be guaranteed, and it is not easy to deform and crack.

So, consumers listening to the fresh "mahogany furniture reinforced by glue" has already become a common phenomenon in the industry? Yang Bo, chairman of a certain brand of hardwood furniture, and Pan Haiying, general manager of a certain brand of redwood furniture, both agreed. Among them, Yang Bo said that in order to make the structure of the furniture more stable and have a longer service life, the ancient mahogany furniture will also be reinforced with some kind of adhesive, but at that time, it was made of natural materials such as fish bladder. The "glue" made is more environmentally friendly.



A small amount of natural "glue" will not reduce the environmental protection coefficient of mahogany furniture

Consumers buy more insurance in regular stores

Will the presence of "glue" at the tenon-and-mortise structure reduce the "environmental protection factor" of mahogany furniture? In this regard, Luo Xin, head of the Beijing Wood Quality Supervision and Inspection Station, said that since the manufacturing process does not require pressurization, adhesives such as "urea-formaldehyde glue" with high pollution will not appear in mahogany furniture. The natural glue used to reinforce the tenon-and-mortise structure is completely harmless to the human body, and if it is a small amount of chemical glue, it will also evaporate in a short time and will not cause harm to the human body.

However, the testing standards of mahogany furniture mainly refer to the standards of hardwood furniture. The inspection will focus on tree species and quality, and will not test the "environmental protection index". Therefore, consumers should still be cautious when buying and try to choose regular stores.

No "glue" mahogany furniture is time-consuming and laborious to be customized

Is there any glue-free mahogany furniture? Gui You, a Chinese furniture consultant for a brand and an intangible cultural heritage inheritor, told the author that mahogany furniture is actually divided into two types: glue (non-removable) and glue-free (removable). "Glue" furniture is usually not perfect in production technology. "Glue" is used to make up for the loose joints caused by the rigorous tenon and mortise structure; furniture without "glue" has high requirements on the structure and manual skills of the tenon and mortise, and the relative cost And the price is even higher. Yang Bo also said that "no glue" mahogany furniture needs to be customized, and its price is 10% -20% higher than "glue" furniture.

Fu Junmin gave a reminder that consumers can let the merchant disassemble or disassemble on the spot or make a note in the contract when buying.

In addition, consumers need to understand that there is still a fundamental difference between "reinforced with glue" and "connected with glue". At present, some manufacturers directly use glue to bond the various parts of mahogany furniture. This purely "gluing" method violates industry rules.
