First technique: Solid Wood Furniture


Check the moisture content of wooden furniture by feeling with your hands. Is the unpainted lower surface inside the furniture damp? If it feels damp to the touch, the quality of this furniture is likely low, and it's advisable not to choose it.


Second technique: Material Issues


Inspect and assess the quality of the furniture materials. For instance, observe whether there are woodworm holes or paint peeling on the wood. These issues often arise from insufficient drying during manufacturing, leading to enlarged woodworm holes. For cabinet doors and drawers, check if there's any sign of decay inside the materials. Evaluate the furniture based on these aspects of material quality; if any issue is present, it's not suitable for purchase.

Third technique: Furniture Corners


Examine whether the corners of the furniture are smooth and if the structure is sturdy. You can test this by gently shaking the furniture on a flat surface. However, not all furniture can be tested this way; for example, sofas require stability checks. Sit on the sofa to see if it creaks or feels unstable. If either issue occurs, the sofa's quality is compromised.


Fourth technique: Edge Banding and Sealing


Check if the edge banding and sealing are tight. Poorly sealed edges can lead to moisture inside the furniture. Rounded edge sealing is preferable; other shapes can cause cracking or moisture issues if they contain wooden strips inside. Also, inspect the consistency of nail holes and color if the furniture uses plywood edge banding. Inconsistencies indicate subpar quality.

Fifth technique: Mirrors


If there are mirrors on the furniture, such as on wardrobes, ensure they are free from distortion and have backing paper and a backboard. Lack of these indicates the furniture is substandard.


Sixth technique: Furniture Lacquer


For lacquered surfaces, check if the paint is smooth and free from wrinkles.

Seventh technique: Upholstered Beds


Assess the firmness of upholstered beds; moderate firmness is ideal. Check if the springs make noise when you sit on them; noise indicates improper layout and renders the bed unsuitable for purchase.
