To determine whether the construction quality of whole house customization meets the standards, inspections can be conducted from the following aspects:
In terms of appearance
Color and texture
Check whether the color of customized furniture is uniform and consistent, and whether there is any obvious color difference. For example, the same cabinet door should have the same color in different parts.
Check whether the wood texture is natural and smooth, whether the texture at the joints is coherent, and whether the veneer texture of the artificial board should be flawless and free of bubbles.
Surface flatness
Touching the surface of furniture with hands, including cabinet doors, cabinets, etc., should be smooth and flat, without unevenness, scratches, potholes, or burrs.
For furniture with paint surface, the paint surface should be uniform, smooth, and free of sagging, missed brushing, peeling, and other phenomena.
Gap and closure
Check whether the gaps between cabinets and between cabinet doors are uniform. Generally, the gap width should be around 2-3 millimeters.
Check if the sealing strip is installed tightly and smoothly, and there should be no gaps or warping at the junction with the cabinet or wall.
In terms of structure
stability
Gently shake the cabinet or furniture, there should be no obvious shaking, and the floor furniture should be stable and not tilted. Like a wardrobe, there should be no deformation or shaking after hanging clothes.
The installation of the hanging cabinet should be firm, gently pushed or pulled by hand, and there should be no signs of looseness to ensure safe use.
Hardware installation
The installation of hardware such as hinges, handles, drawer slides, etc. should be firm, with no loose screws, smooth opening and closing, and no jamming or abnormal noise. The drawer should be able to be easily pulled out and pushed in, and tightly closed.
Check the surface of hardware for defects such as rust and scratches to ensure good appearance and performance.
Connection and assembly
Check if the connection between the boards is tight. If a three in one connector is used, there should be no gaps or looseness. The connection between the side panel, top panel, and bottom panel of the cabinet should be firm.
For furniture with mortise and tenon structure, the joint between the tenon and mortise should be tight, without gaps, to ensure structural stability.
Functional aspects
Space utilization
Check whether the customized furniture fully utilizes the space according to the design plan and whether the layout is reasonable. Whether the internal compartments and drawer designs of cabinets are convenient for storing items.
Whether the hanging area, stacking area, drawers and other functional areas of the wardrobe meet the needs of use, and whether they can meet the requirements of clothing storage.
Convenience of use
Whether the opening and closing of cabinet doors and drawers are convenient, whether the opening angle is appropriate, and whether it does not hinder normal use. After the cabinet door of the kitchen hanging cabinet is opened, it should not affect the operating space.
Check whether the height, depth, and other dimensions of the furniture comply with ergonomic principles, making it comfortable and convenient to use. The height of the desk should be suitable for sitting posture and avoid hunching over.
In terms of environmental protection
smell
After the whole house customization is completed, close the doors and windows of the room for a period of time, and then enter the room to smell for any pungent, glaring or other odors. If there is a strong irritant odor such as formaldehyde, it is likely to not meet environmental standards.
Test report
Require merchants to provide environmental testing reports for materials such as boards to check if they meet national environmental standards, such as E1, E0, or ENF.
