Choose ironwood furniture (mostly ironwood, lattice wood and other hardwoods, or "iron solid wood" combinations), the core is to look at the authenticity of the material, the details of the process and the adaptability, avoid inferior products, and choose in 3 steps:

Identify the material first: Don't be fooled by the concept of "ironwood"
Pure solid wood and ironwood (such as iron wood): see whether the wood grain is natural and coherent (fakes are mostly pasted with wood veneer, the wood grain is repeated, and there is no three-dimensional sense), and you can tap to listen to the sound (solid wood sound is crisp, hollow or veneer sound muffled); Ask about the scientific name of the wood (avoid vague terms such as "miscellaneous wood" and "hardwood"), and real ironwood such as ironwood has a hard texture, and the surface is lightly scratched with a key, and the traces are shallow and easy to wipe (inferior miscellaneous wood has deep scratches).
Iron and solid wood combination: check the iron part (whether the welding joint is firm, burr-free, and whether the coating is uniform and not peeling), the solid wood part is the same as above (don't use MDF board or particle board to impersonate it), and focus on the connection (such as whether the screws of the wrought iron frame and solid wood panel are tight and loose).
Let's look at the craftsmanship again: the details determine durability
Surface treatment: the solid wood part depends on the coating (whether the paint / wood wax oil is uniform, no sagging, bubbles, smooth to the touch), to avoid pungent odor (inferior paint contains VOCs); The iron art part looks at the anti-rust treatment (cold-rolled steel is better than ordinary iron, and the coating is electrostatic spraying, which has strong anti-rust ability).
Structure and hardware: The cabinet body should be checked whether the cabinet door is closed tightly and without skew, and whether the drawer slide is pushed and pulled smoothly (choose the damping slide rail is more durable); The table and chair should be made of stainless steel for the hardware (such as hinges and screws) to avoid iron hardware that is easy to rust.
Finally, match needs: avoid "buying hard for hard"
Scene adaptation: Ironwood furniture for outdoor use (such as courtyard tables and chairs) should be given priority to those that have been treated with anti-corrosion and waterproof treatment (such as solid wood coated with outdoor wood oil, and hot-dip galvanized and anti-rust made of iron); For indoor use, pay attention to appearance (such as simple models adapt to modern style, carved models adapt to Chinese style), and avoid the "heaviness" of ironwood that makes small spaces crowded.
Cost-effective: The price of real ironwood (such as ironwood) is not low, if the budget is limited, you can choose the combination of "iron iron ordinary solid wood (such as pine, fir)" (focus on ensuring iron rust prevention, solid wood is formaldehyde-free), and don't buy high-priced and low-quality products for the "ironwood" gimmick.
