Choose boards carefully to create a healthy space for your family

Although furniture is a one-time purchase, its impact on future home life can last for decades. Therefore, choosing the right furniture and the right board material to use have become essential considerations for home life.

How to choose furniture boards is a task that plays an increasingly important role in our lives. Today we will analyze with you what kind of boards we should choose for making furniture.

When choosing boards, many friends fall into a misunderstanding, that is, the volatilization cycle of formaldehyde in the boards.

A friend mentioned this. He was about to get married and, like everyone else, was decorating his new home. Considering he would be living alone, he chose a standard E0 board for the furniture. He chose the most common board for everything from wardrobes, shoe cabinets, TV cabinets, and beds. He took into account that even if the wood didn't meet environmental standards, ventilation would still release formaldehyde, which would improve the indoor air quality after the wedding.

Unexpectedly, after installing the complete set of furniture and moving in, I closed the windows because it was cold at night. I woke up in the morning with a sore throat, dizziness, dry eyes, and other symptoms. I went to the hospital for a checkup and the result was: excessive formaldehyde in the room.

The World Health Organization has classified formaldehyde as a Class 1 carcinogen, and this is true. Scientific research shows that the release cycle of formaldehyde from artificial boards can last as long as 15 years.

Interestingly, as knowledge of the hazards of excessive formaldehyde levels becomes increasingly widespread, inferior, contaminated board materials have become increasingly difficult to market in the furniture market, while new formaldehyde-free multi-layer board products are rapidly taking over the national market. This is clearly demonstrated by the choices made by furniture companies.

Under the influence of the external environment, furniture companies can no longer profit from customers' "cheap-seeking" mentality. Improving product quality and enhancing corporate competitiveness are urgent tasks, just as the saying goes, "If others don't have it, I have it; if others have it, I have it better."

Therefore, the choice of which type of board material to choose for furniture is not only a matter of consideration for end-users who work in home improvement, but also for furniture companies.

According to statistics, there is no clear compensation policy for formaldehyde exceeding the standard in the current domestic furniture market. In the case of leukemia caused by formaldehyde exceeding the standard, the consumer shall bear the responsibility.

So what should you pay attention to when choosing panels for furniture?

1. Weight of the board

First of all, the weight of boards made of different materials will be different, and the weight of the board is also related to factors such as the density and moisture content of the board. In summary, it is not advisable to judge the quality of the board simply by its weight. We need to combine the characteristics of various boards and our own needs to choose the right board.

2. Appearance and color

Taking ecological paint-free boards as an example, good ecological paint-free boards use high-quality ecological paper veneers with bright colors, clear textures, and real touch. They do not fade, are resistant to high temperatures, and the patterns remain unchanged over the years, still looking like new.

3. The board has no pungent smell

The biggest feature of truly environmentally friendly boards is that they are environmentally friendly. Even after being sawed, the boards still have more of the smell of the original wood, and there is no pungent odor. The Rabbit Baby Company requires that every board that leaves the factory strictly meets environmental protection standards and refuses to deceive consumers.

4. Cross-section

The cross section of the board should be neat and clean, and the internal structure of the board can be seen through the cross section, which is one of the important evidences for detecting the authenticity of the material in the board.

5. Good after-sales mechanism

The most important thing to judge the quality of a board is its systematic and professional after-sales service. Only with a good after-sales mechanism can consumers truly buy with confidence and use with peace of mind.

Founded in 1993, Rabbit Baby has been producing board products for 24 years. The company has also established the Rabbit Baby Research Institute, dedicated to the research and development of environmentally friendly board materials. To date, Rabbit Baby has continuously made breakthroughs in environmental protection, from E1 to E0, and then to formaldehyde-free grades. The recently developed 360° formaldehyde-removing eco-friendly board is a further upgrade to formaldehyde-free grades, absorbing and removing formaldehyde, bringing environmentally friendly board materials to thousands of households!
