The reason why solid wood furniture is to be painted is because...

Solid wood furniture is natural and environmentally friendly. It emphasizes the unique beauty of “clear water and hibiscus, natural carving”. In this case, why should you paint it? Is it true that the original color of the logs is not more natural and environmentally friendly? it's not true!

The first big benefit of solid wood furniture lacquering is the protection of wood

The solid wood furniture has a high hardness, so it is easy to polish a smooth and moist feel, and it touches the jade. If it is directly exposed, it is easy to be scratched or worn, and the texture of jade is lost. Painting is equivalent to putting a layer of armor on the furniture.

“The beautiful wood is like jade, although it doesn’t hide, but it’s perfect, it’s worth seeing.”

Even the same wood, there are subtle chromatic aberrations, just like the little cockroaches on the jade, although not "fatal", but it has greatly reduced its artistry.

The second biggest benefit of lacquering is to put a piece of clothing on the furniture to make the furniture more perfect.

“The beautiful wood is beautiful, the water is gentle and gentle, and the texture is clear.”

The third major benefit is preventing wood deformation

The water content has a great influence on the stability of the wood. Sealing the surface of the wood with paint can prevent the external moisture from rapidly infiltrating into the wood, and can prevent the internal moisture from being excessively evaporated, and the internal and external exchange of wood can be carried out slowly and gently. Make sure the wood is not deformed.

The fourth big benefit of lacquering is to make the furniture last longer and more lustrous

If the logs are directly exposed to the air, they are susceptible to corrosion and oxidative discoloration. After lacquering, the wood does not come into direct contact with the air and will always preserve the fresh wood color.

The fifth benefit is that the hand feels more delicate and easier to clean and maintain.

No matter how delicate the sanding is, it is impossible to seal the pipes of the wood, and these pipes tend to become the place where the dirt is hidden and difficult to clean. After painting, the catheter is sealed and filled in, and it can be cleaned with a rag.
