Next, I will introduce you how to buy a solid wood dining table.
1. How to choose a solid wood dining table
1, look at the material
The most important thing for a solid wood dining table is the choice of materials, which determines the life of the dining table. Commonly used in the market are ash, white oak, oak and ash.
Wood, beech, cherry, black walnut and so on. When shopping, we'd better choose solid wood which is corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, easy to clean and heat-resistant.
Step 2 observe the structure
The tenon of the solid wood dining table should be tight, the structure should be firm, the joints should be tight, and there should be no defects such as unevenness, freshness, wrinkles and white defects, and the patterns should be clear, consistent, symmetrical and harmonious. The desktop is a whole piece of solid wood, but the cost is too high, so many solid wood dining tables are generally made up of several boards, so pay attention to whether there are gaps when splicing.
3, check the coating
The surface of solid wood should be painted evenly to ensure that the solid wood is more durable. Wood wax and varnish are widely used. Raw materials-usually-some natural plants.
Oil, environmental protection grade is better than varnish.
Step 4 look at the size
The height of the dining table determines the comfort of our dining. The standard height of the table is between 72 cm and 78 cm, which is ergonomic and can make elbows more comfortable on the table.
Second, how to maintain
1. The solid wood dining tables and chairs should be placed flat to prevent the unstable dining tables and chairs from loosening the layout, which will not hinder the normal use of other indoor items. Don't stick to the wall and insist on ventilation, but also put them in a damp place to prevent the solid wood from being damp and perishable.
2. Don't put drinks, chemicals or overheated items on the table, so as not to destroy the natural color of the wooden surface.
3. When there is dirt on the table, it is suggested to wipe it with a neutral detergent diluted with warm water first, and then clean it with clear water. Remember to wipe off the residual water stains with a soft dry cloth, and then polish them with maintenance wax.
