Given below are a few tips on dealing with         simple problems with furniture and answers to some common questions         about furniture.<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be careful while buying wooden furniture. Furniture made of             particleboard and medium density fiberboard is also called &#8220;solid             wood&#8221;. But furniture made out of these is not worth buying, as             it is harder to repair and heavier than real wood. <a style=\"text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static\" class=\"kLink\" target=\"undefined\" id=\"KonaLink0\" href=\"http:\/\/www.indobase.com\/home\/furniture\/furniture-secrets.html#\"><font color=\"#ee1c24\" style=\"color: #ee1c24 ! important; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static\"><span style=\"color: #ee1c24 ! important; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static\" class=\"kLink\">Buy <\/span><span style=\"color: #ee1c24 ! important; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static\" class=\"kLink\">furniture<\/span><\/font><\/a>             with signs that explicitly say solid oak wood or cherry wood or ash             wood. These are safer to buy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A number of times you want to know the kind of finish that has             been used on your furniture. To find out you will have to do a             solvent test. Dip cotton in some nail polish remover or acetone and             rub over an area that is not easily visible. If the finish softens             then the finish is nitrocellulose lacquer, which is the most popular             finish in the furniture industry. If the finish softens with alcohol             then the finish is shellac. If it does not soften with either             acetone or alcohol then the finish is varnish, polyurethane,             catalyzed lacquer etc. that cannot be dissolved by its original             solvent.<\/li>\n<li>If you are applying finish on your furniture then remember to             account for humidity. High levels of humidity in the air will             prevent the finish from drying and it will turn white or have a dull             finish. If a professional is finishing your furniture then allow the             piece to dry completely, for a few days before using it.<\/li>\n<li>Placing any kind of potpourri directly on the furniture will             damage the finish even though it is kept in cloth or plastic bag.<\/li>\n<li>If metal bed frames are squeaking then just apply oil to the             rivets and this will stop it from squeaking. If a <a style=\"text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static\" class=\"kLink\" target=\"undefined\" id=\"KonaLink1\" href=\"http:\/\/www.indobase.com\/home\/furniture\/furniture-secrets.html#\"><font color=\"#ee1c24\" style=\"color: #ee1c24 ! important; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static\"><span style=\"color: #ee1c24 ! important; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static\" class=\"kLink\">bed<\/span><\/font><\/a> made out of             wood squeaks, it means it is getting loose and needs re-gluing.<\/li>\n<li>In a drawer wood moves against wood and certain parts need to be             lubricated. If drawers stick rub some paste wax on the drawer and             the wood that it rides on. If this does not work then the drawer             needs some repair or is very worn out.<\/li>\n<li><a style=\"text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static\" class=\"kLink\" target=\"undefined\" id=\"KonaLink2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.indobase.com\/home\/furniture\/furniture-secrets.html#\"><font color=\"#ee1c24\" style=\"color: #ee1c24 ! important; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static\"><span style=\"color: #ee1c24 ! important; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static\" class=\"kLink\">Glass<\/span><\/font><\/a> tabletops actually protect the wooden <a style=\"text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static\" class=\"kLink\" target=\"undefined\" id=\"KonaLink3\" href=\"http:\/\/www.indobase.com\/home\/furniture\/furniture-secrets.html#\"><font color=\"#ee1c24\" style=\"color: #ee1c24 ! important; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static\"><span style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ee1c24; color: #ee1c24 ! important; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static; padding-bottom: 1px; background-color: transparent\" class=\"kLink\">tables<\/span><\/font><\/a>.
