Nowadays, the concept of low-carbon and environmentally-friendly life has been deeply rooted in people's minds. It is the basic appeal of every decoration household to purchase healthy and environmentally-friendly household products and decorate a new house with environmental protection standards. Especially for families with babies, they are more concerned about whether children's furniture is healthy and safe and suitable for children.
Furniture with a "child-only" label may not be suitable for children
Most parents believe that since the words "children" are marked, they are definitely healthier and more environmentally friendly than ordinary goods. After all, one penny is worth the goods. As long as you are within the scope of your abilities, you will definitely buy the best for your child. However, in the actual purchase, many parents found that in the home market, children's furniture, which was originally used in a small amount of materials, was not expensive, but the price was even more expensive than similar adult furniture. Although the price is high, some children's furniture is not produced according to the national standard of "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture". Many furniture have neither passivated corners nor the height of the drawers are produced according to the requirements. When the certificate was tested, many sales people could not provide it.
Therefore, to buy children's furniture, you can't just look at the "child-only" label.
Mistakes in children's furniture purchase
In addition to being misled by the “child-only†label, parents are also vulnerable to the following misunderstandings when purchasing children's furniture:
Solid wood furniture is more environmentally friendly
All solid wood furniture should be used in the process of processing, surface treatment, etc., need to use paint, adhesive, there may be excessive formaldehyde emission. In addition, solid wood veneer furniture is often promoted by the business as solid wood furniture, which requires more adhesives and is more prone to environmental problems.
Light colored furniture has less harmful substances
As long as it is paint, it contains heavy metals, regardless of the depth of the color. For the heavy metal content of paint, manufacturers should have test reports. Consumers should focus on heavy metals, formaldehyde and other indicators when purchasing furniture, rather than relying solely on color recognition.
Imported furniture is healthier and safer
According to the inspection and quarantine supervision conditions, imported children's furniture is subject to P/Q supervision. The inspection and quarantine personnel mainly quarantine the products. Generally, the products are not tested for formaldehyde, heavy metal content and safety performance. Therefore, imported furniture cannot be guaranteed. More healthy and safe.
Expensive products are better
In terms of furniture materials, children's furniture requires less material than adult furniture, but it has higher requirements for safety and environmental protection. It is worth noting that some businesses are targeting the psychology of parents caring for children, adding many concepts to children's furniture, such as zero formaldehyde, no ash, etc., resulting in increasing market prices. As consumers, we need to look at these selling points rationally and purchase cost-effective children's furniture according to the actual situation of furniture products.
Furniture with low formaldehyde is environmentally friendly
Many parents think that children's furniture with low formaldehyde content is environmentally friendly furniture. In fact, the environmental performance of furniture also involves benzene, heavy metal lead and so on. Environmental protection is only a relative concept. For furniture, the state has a corresponding limit standard for harmful substances, and its indicator is the amount of harmful substances released from furniture. For example, the index of wood furniture is the amount of formaldehyde released and the heavy metal content in the paint; fabric furniture depends on the persuasive power of benzene and some volatile organic compounds; stone furniture has requirements for radioactivity.
Although the state has relevant regulations, the products on the market are not all qualified products. Because children's resistance is weaker and health is more vulnerable to harm, consumers should not only pay attention to the amount of formaldehyde released when purchasing furniture. Their harmful substances should be paid attention to according to the corresponding furniture materials.
Choosing children's furniture skills
Look at the inspection report
When selecting, you should not only look at the finished furniture, but also the inspection reports of raw materials such as plates and paints, focusing on indicators such as formaldehyde and heavy metals. When purchasing imported children's furniture, the entry inspection and quarantine related documents should be obtained from the merchant to verify the import status.
Tips
Regular test reports will have clear contact information, address, telephone number, signature of the person in charge, seal and other information. Consumers should carefully observe to distinguish the authenticity of the report.

Smell
The external taste of children's furniture is not obvious. Generally, you can open the door and smell whether there is strong and pungent glue and paint smell. When choosing panel furniture, we must pay attention to the scale and reputation of the manufacturer.
Touch the edge
Children are naturally active and easy to bump, so the edge and the tip are an important part of the safety test of children's furniture structure.
Consumers should pay more attention to sharp corners, protruding parts, holes, gap size and stability when choosing children's furniture. Try to choose products with edges and tips for the ellipse.
Ask the price
Most of the wood furniture with excessive formaldehyde is made of cheap artificial boards, so the price of the whole set of wooden furniture is often "ultra-low". Due to the intensive use of inferior glue in cheap man-made boards, the amount of formaldehyde released is seriously exceeded. Consumers should ask more about the price of several brands, understand the normal price of the same kind of furniture, and avoid buying low-priced and low-quality children's furniture.
Listen to your child's opinion
The children's room is out for the children themselves. Don't think that the child is still young and don't understand anything. Therefore, if the child already has the ability to express, it is necessary to communicate with the child and listen to their thoughts and opinions, so that the house that is matched will make the child like it, which is the best for them.
Summary: Compared with adults, children's furniture has higher requirements for environmental protection and safety. Parents should not only look at the appearance of propaganda in the purchase, but also should know more about purchasing knowledge and avoid entering the purchase misunderstanding.
