02 Quality Testing Methods for Customized Furniture
02-1 Appearance quality inspection
In the quality inspection of customized furniture, the most basic thing is to ensure that the appearance of the furniture meets the quality and expected requirements. In actual testing, the key is to pay attention to checking whether the furniture has material decay, cracks, and other conditions, as well as the use of artificial boards, whether there are layering, cracking, blistering, whether the coating, edge sealing, and paint film have been treated according to requirements, and whether there is discoloration, fading, and so on.
In particular, attention should be paid to the authenticity inspection of the materials used, such as the type, name, use position, etc. of wood, whether they are consistent with the design, whether the appearance and details are properly treated, etc. The main reference test basis here is GB/T3324-2017 General technology Conditions for Wood Furniture.

02-2 Dimensional quality inspection
In the quality inspection of customized furniture dimensions, it is necessary to measure the dimensions of all internal and external parts and structures, especially the internal structure, such as the depth of hanging space, folding space, etc., accurately, which is often prone to errors. In addition, it is necessary to measure and check the perpendicularity, deviation, and parting of adjacent edges.
Overall, the appearance dimensions of customized furniture also allow for certain errors, but the error must be maintained within plus or minus 5 millimeters and cannot exceed this limit, otherwise it will be considered as unqualified quality. The reference basis for testing is still GB/T3324-2017 General technology Conditions for Wood Furniture.

02-3 Assembly quality inspection
In the inspection of the assembly quality of customized furniture, in order to ensure the screw holding force, it is necessary to strictly measure the thickness of the board and the screw holding force. Whether it is decorative particle board, fiberboard, decorative blockboard, etc., the screw holding force on the board surface needs to be at least 1000N, and the edge needs to be at least 700N.
All assembly hardware components such as guide rails, hinges, etc. must be functional and free from issues such as loss of gloss, corrosion, expansion, peeling, blistering, discoloration, etc. All other moving parts, anti detachment devices for push pull components, and vertically running components for folding products must also meet the requirements and be sturdy and safe. The main inspection references here include GB/T3324-2017, QB/T2454-2013 “Furniture Hardware Drawer Guides”, QB/T2189-2013 “Furniture Hardware Cup Hidden Hinges”, etc.
