What's the harm of staying in the furniture store for a long time?
Staying in the place where furniture is sold for a long time and inhaling formaldehyde and benzaldehyde for a long time have the following health hazards:
1. The main harm of formaldehyde is skin and mucous membrane irritation. Formaldehyde is a toxic substance in protoplasm, which can combine with protein. When inhaled in high concentration, it will cause serious irritation to respiratory tract, causing edema, eye irritation and headache.
2. Sensitization: Direct skin contact with formaldehyde can cause allergic dermatitis, pigmentation and necrosis, and inhalation of high concentration formaldehyde can induce bronchial asthma.

What are the shopping items of furniture?
First, pay attention to the quality of materials.
Buying furniture depends on the material of furniture. For example, if you want to buy solid wood furniture, it depends on the quality of wood, whether it is really solid wood, and the four legs of solid wood furniture tables and chairs. You should use materials different from those in other places, which are more solid and reliable. For example, some cabinets should be made of plywood, and some are easily damaged by fiberboard cleaning, so it depends on the rationality of the material.
Second, pay attention to the coordination with the interior style.
Put the furniture at home when you buy it. When buying, you should choose furniture that can coordinate with the interior decoration style. First of all, the color should be integrated into the interior, and the material and shape should also match the interior style. For example, if it is a Nordic-style home improvement, it is not harmonious to choose big red Chinese furniture.
Third, check whether the furniture is firm.
When buying small furniture, we should pay special attention to whether it is firm, such as chairs and stools. When choosing, we can stand on them and see if they are firm. If the chair rattles as soon as we stand up, it means that the tenon and mortise of the chair are not well combined and may fall apart after a long time of use.
Fourth, check whether there is a pungent smell.
Nowadays, many furniture are made of synthetic wood or some antiseptic chemicals are added, which is normal, but if it smells pungent, for example, if you open the closet, it will completely stink, it must be that the formaldehyde content is particularly high, which will affect our health.
The above is a summary of the hazards of staying in the place where furniture is sold for a long time and the items purchased by furniture. In the process of buying furniture, people must grasp the safety of furniture. Only when everyone knows the existence of formaldehyde can they buy furniture with confidence. In short, everyone should know whether the product is safe or not during the purchase process.
