The mahogany furniture that I bought at a big price is a bunch of white skin and resin.
On November 11, 2017, there was a media report that “a Beijing enterprise destroyed 15 million fake rosewoodsâ€. On November 21, Zhejiang Satellite TV Agricultural Economics Channel reported the news of “470,000 European solid wood resin materialsâ€. After reading these reports, the truth is shocking.
The high-grade, environmentally-friendly and durable mahogany furniture is the reason why many consumers prefer. Some unscrupulous enterprises have seized the psychology of consumers, using low-end wood to pretend to be valuable wood, and even pretending to use solid wood. The means of their fraud can be summarized as: fake appearance, material cost, and structural fraud.
Fake
Paint the "white skin" and paint the texture as a mahogany
White skin refers to the part of the wood that is lighter than the heartwood of the trunk. It should be removed when making mahogany furniture. The hardness and density of the white skin are much worse than that of the heartwood. In the General Technical Conditions of Mahogany Furniture, the heartwood inside the white skin is called "redwood".
Fraudulent methods: Some unscrupulous merchants use a large amount of white-skinned red wood to make furniture, and then paint or paint the white leather furniture by brushing or painting, so that it is difficult to distinguish the color and texture of the heartwood. Its name is "Redwood Furniture". This white leather furniture is soft and not strong, and is easily corroded by insects. It is the "fake" that can't stand the test of time. In addition to being not durable, the price of white skin is ten times worse than that of heartwood.
Discrimination: Redwood expert Wang Guoqiang suggested that if it is a paint-painted furniture, the seams will generally be thicker than other places, which is slightly unnatural. If it is really impossible to distinguish the true and false from the features, you can also use a blade to gently scrape off a layer on the back panel or bottom plate of the furniture, roughly scraping the thickness of about 2 mm, and observe whether the new scraping surface is consistent with the surface layer. Can confirm whether this piece of furniture is white leather.
But nowadays, there is a more sophisticated means of counterfeiting, which is to infiltrate the white skin material with high pressure so that the pigment penetrates into the interior of the material. Even if the furniture is sawn, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. It is recommended that the consumer in the contract, in the contract, let the merchants specify the specific material and white skin content of the mahogany furniture.
Material fraud
Low-end mahogany posing as high-end mahogany resin posing as pure solid wood carving
In order to reduce the risk, some merchants will not use fake materials completely, but will incorporate fake materials into the real materials, making people "true and difficult to distinguish."
Falsification techniques: According to Zhao Hua, general manager of the Redwoods of Yanpin Building, taking the red sandalwood as an example, the real rosewood on the market is very rare. The “Kotan†of Côte d'Ivoire is close to the red sandalwood in color and pattern, so it is mixed by some merchants. Into the rosewood, made of expensive rosewood furniture. Another example is that red rosewood has become the "new darling" of the mahogany market in recent years, and its spike phenomenon is also very serious. Southeast Asia's "flowering branches", Panama and Mexico's "dimple Dalbergia" are close to red rosewood in material density, texture and oiliness, and are heavily incorporated into real red rosewood raw materials. The falsification of the material of European furniture mainly exists in the carving of the resin mold, posing as pure solid wood carving. There are also some merchants who use low-end tree species to pretend to be valuable trees.
Discrimination: This type of fraud is the most covert and clever, and ordinary consumers are hard to distinguish. Only the industry can distinguish it by experience. It is recommended that consumers buy mahogany furniture and invite people who understand wood to go together. In addition, it is necessary to let the merchant write the specific material in the purchase contract (commonly known as the scientific name and origin).
According to Zhang Wei, the person in charge of Dasen Furniture in Shaanxi, the engraving of the resin is a whole piece, and the natural solid wood carving is generally divided into several sections, and the stitching seam can be seen; the resin carving is generally molded, and the mold is relatively regular. The line is well-proportioned; and the natural solid wood carving is evenly carved by the engraving machine, and the pattern should be trimmed by hand in the later stage, and the trimming trace of the negative line can be seen. When the resin is carved for a long time, it will age, and it will cause defects such as deformation, cracking, and peeling of paint.
Structural fraud
Fixing the rust of mahogany furniture nails with nails will affect the appearance
Those who know how to know know that Chinese mahogany furniture is assembled and connected with furniture parts by æ¦«å¯ structure. When used properly, the two wooden structures can be tightly fastened to the extent that they are seamless.
Falsification techniques: According to Wang Guoqiang: "Many people like to buy ultra-cheap Vietnamese mahogany furniture, but most of these furniture use iron nails, wooden tips, and false rafts to fix the assembly of furniture. After 3-5 years, the time has been iron The rusting of the nail affects the appearance of the furniture, and it will also cause the furniture to loosen and fall apart. Once it falls, it will cost money to find a professional and maintain it."
Discrimination: Zhao Hua suggested that some consumers who are just getting started don't understand recognition. When the material is real, the price is cheap and bought. But the mahogany furniture made by the real craftsmanship can't be nailed. So if you take the magnet to detect mahogany furniture, this is also an interesting way.
