How to choose a solid wood coffee table

Identify the real solid wood coffee table, and see the pattern. Overly beautiful patterns may be artificial boards. The reason is simple, the real solid wood material, except for pear wood, camphor wood, other wood basically does not have beautiful lines.

2. Smell

The pure solid wood coffee table has its own special smell, which can be retained even after long-term storage or painting, while the wood-based panel will have a strong chemical odor, such as formaldehyde, which is very strong and pungent, so it is easy to identify.

For the same kind of wood, the crisp sound is relatively dry, while the lower one is relatively humid. Generally, wooden furniture should be selected to be dry, and its stability is stronger.
