Difference Between Oak and Rubberwood. It's easy to tell with your eyes, just look at the grain and color of the wood. Oak:

The color is dark, the grain has fine lines and large mountain patterns, and the color difference is relatively large compared to rubber wood. Rubberwood: The color is much whiter than oak, and the grain is basically very fine, and the color difference is smaller than that of oak.

In terms of density, oak is much larger than rubberwood, so oak is much heavier than rubberwood. The same volume and case. White oak furniture is expensive, so consumers should carefully distinguish when buying to prevent buying fakes.

Here are some tips for identifying white oak furniture:Whether the wood is fine or not. If consumers buy dark oak furniture, they should carefully inspect the parts that are not painted to see if there is a strong sense of cleanliness unique to oak; Whether the wood grain is clear and beautiful.

The clearer the white oak wood grain, the higher the value. Rubberwood, on the other hand, does not have the characteristic wood grain of oak; Whether the wood color is pure or not. White oak furniture is best to choose the "natural color type", while the wood color of rubber wood is not pure, and even has miscellaneous spots and black spots.

Consumers should pay special attention to those with darker colors (such as dark red, dark black, etc.) and labeled as "oak furniture". At present, there are some furniture manufacturers in China, from Hunan, Jiangxi and other places to buy a very cheap miscellaneous wood to pretend to be oak, this kind of miscellaneous wood is strong but not tough, and will crack over time; Whether the wood is dry or not. Due to the hard and heavy texture of white oak, it is difficult to remove moisture.

Some manufacturers are eager to make profits, and make furniture without depurifying water, and it takes a year and a half to start deforming, so special attention is needed; Whether the wood is straight or not. Oak wood is easy to "distort" in dehydration, and it is not suitable for bending and distorting as a furniture material, but many manufacturers still use this deformed wood to make furniture. <>

The white oak table on the Internet is lower, not as expensive as generally said, why, it is directly related to the cost, talk about the composition of the cost of furniture e-commerce, wood + construction labor + paint coating + packaging + transportation + warehousing + platform deduction (Tmall) + ** promotion deduction + tax deduction (Tmall) + delivery and installation and other service fees + after-sales maintenance. Why the same material of the home is more expensive and some are cheaper, which is directly related to the cost, wood, construction technology level, paint and coating material grade and level, quality inspection and tightness are related. The quality inspection standard is high and the pass rate is low, resulting in a high rework rate in the factory, and the unit price of the product will inevitably rise.

Other links are basically the same, and the most important point is after-sales service, because of regional reasons, delivery and installation costs are not the same, up and down 50-100 yuan of price difference is possible, this service if the seller provides a special service docking, the service quality is relatively good and the cost is not high, but the buyer may bear more costs. After-sales service also includes the solution of product problems, many people reflect that the purchase of large pieces of furniture should be cautious, after-sales solution is very troublesome, in this case, small after-sales problems are generally the seller sends a master to repair, and then send some gifts and the like to show compensation, solid wood furniture long-distance transportation is a bit bumpy is also normal, in the case of not seriously affecting the use and aesthetics is generally maintenance or direct cash compensation (the premise is to give the seller a good review, no one wants to produce after-sales, Since it is necessary to coordinate and solve it between the two parties, furniture is a long-term consumer product, if you really give a bad review on impulse, and there is an after-sales problem after half a year and a year, do you want to solve it for you? The toes are all thought of, and it is still themselves who suffer.

Why is it so difficult to maintain after-sales on the side of some sellers, some because some sellers in order to seize the market at a low price, sell in a way that is significantly lower than the market price, the profit is very meager, the profit is not enough to support a strong after-sales service, the final generation of normal business profits itself contains the after-sales probability, and the regular seller can be very happy to repair it for you after the after-sales service, and the compensation will be compensated. Small sellers with low margins can't do it, so I hope you're lucky enough to buy furniture that won't go wrong. <>

1. Observe whether the wood is fine and clean. When buying white oak furniture, especially dark furniture, pay attention to whether there are painted parts to see if there is a strong sense of oak.

3. Observe whether the wood color of oak furniture is pure. It is best to choose the primary color of white oak furniture, because usually a lot of imitation white oak furniture is made of rubberwood, and rubberwood wood is not pure in color and often has miscellaneous.
