Shocking mahogany furniture fraud! Do you dare to buy such cheap mahogany furniture?

  Mahogany furniture is a very characteristic industry in China. It is made of 5 categories and 8 types of materials specified by China's mahogany standard. Based on traditional craftsmanship, such as exquisite tenon-and-mortise structure, painting or waxing, and fine carving The sculpture is made by combining modern technology and ergonomics with strict control of each process. However, due to the non-standard mahogany furniture market, mixed fish and dragons, it is more common to use fake and real, so for those who like mahogany furniture, when buying, so as not to buy fake mahogany furniture, it is very important to know what kind of counterfeiting methods the mahogany has. What are the main ways to counterfeit mahogany furniture?


Material fraud

Fake material, admixture /

The high price of mahogany furniture is largely determined by its precious raw materials. Rosewood, Huanghua pear, red rosewood and other well-known mahogany raw materials have risen in price in recent years. Some mahogany merchants have hit the edge of raw materials in order to reduce production costs.



The most common is to use materials with similar colors and patterns to pretend to be real mahogany. In order to reduce risks, some merchants will not use fake materials completely, but will mix fake materials into real materials, making it difficult to tell the truth. Taking red sandalwood as an example, the real red sandalwood wood on the market is very rare now. The "Ketan" from Cote d'Ivoire is similar to the red sandalwood in color and pattern. . Red rosewood has become a "new favorite" in the redwood market in recent years, and its blending phenomenon is also very serious. The “flower branches” in Southeast Asia, and the “concave Dalbergia” in Panama and Mexico are close to red rosewood in material density, texture and oiliness, and are largely incorporated into the real raw materials of red rosewood.

Structural falsification

Tenon and mortise structure cut corners /

The tenon and mortise structure allows the mahogany furniture to be firmly combined without nailing or riveting. However, in order to reduce labor and material usage costs, some manufacturers now cut corners on the tenon-and-mortise structure, and even use glue and air gun nails for connection. In this way, once there is a problem with the furniture, it cannot be repaired at all, and the mahogany furniture purchased at a high price becomes a pile of waste.



Cutting corners in structural fabrication can at least reduce raw materials and workmanship costs by half. For example, instead of mortise and tenon joints with rivets, there is no "shoulder" for the shoulder tenon and the mortise tenon, which originally required a four or five millimeter thick support frame, but now only two millimeters. Due to the “deep burial” inside the furniture, consumers ca n’t see the structural things at all. Even people with knowledge about the structure of the tenon and mortise can hardly find out whether the manufacturer is falsified. These methods of cutting corners will directly affect the service life of furniture, and this kind of furniture does not have the investment value that people want. The fabrication of mahogany furniture is more concealed and deceptive than material counterfeiting, almost making it unrecognizable to consumers, and also making it difficult to supervise quality.



Craft falsification

Rubber mill /

Now, in order to check the authenticity of the material, many consumers of mahogany furniture often require the manufacturer not to do any treatment on the surface of the furniture, and then wax or paint after the inspection. However, the rubber furniture is not waxed or painted, and is almost the same as the "white embryo" furniture. With the technique of rubber grinding, the authenticity of "white embryo" furniture cannot be guaranteed.



The method of using rubber mill is to cover up the problems of using white skin, patching and drying in place. The operation of glue grinding is very simple, that is, apply glue while polishing, and then polish hard, so repeat the operation two or three times to let the glue penetrate into the furniture. In order to cover up the white skin or patchwork, it will be painted before the rubber mill. The furniture after the rubber milling process can be almost fake in appearance, and some mahogany furniture even has the gloss of "packaging". In fact, rubber mills are extremely harmful. Because the glue contains a large amount of formaldehyde and benzene, these harmful substances penetrate into the wood and continuously volatilize during the use of furniture, which will cause greater harm to human health.


The furniture must be destroyed to tell whether it is glued or not, which is really a headache (white wood chips are glue)


Consumption reminder

Don't blindly pursue low prices /

Now when some consumers buy mahogany furniture, they blindly pursue low prices, so it is easy to fall into the misunderstanding of consumption. If the price of furniture is too low, the manufacturer can only reduce the cost of the furniture material and structure, which will inevitably lead to furniture cut corners. Therefore, before buying furniture, consumers must shop around, understand the different prices of the same product, and require the salesperson to introduce the product carefully to understand the reason for the price difference. In addition, the price of raw materials should also be understood. If the price of finished furniture is lower than the price of raw materials, the quality of the furniture can be imagined.



Carefully inspect the furniture and certificate of conformity /

While checking the authenticity of furniture materials, consumers should also pay attention to the issues of furniture manufacturing process; before buying, they must check the "one certificate, one book, one card" and quality inspection report of mahogany furniture.




The editor sincerely hopes that the self-regulatory performance of the mahogany industry will gradually improve, and also provide consumers with a completely "purified" and "healthy" mahogany furniture market.
