Development History

From appearance-driven demand to quality-driven demand

After entering the 21st century, demand for wooden furniture has gradually shifted from focusing on appearance to focusing on material quality, and more new products now compete through original design and high-quality raw materials.

A period of expansion led by volume

By 2010, China's furniture industry had gone through its first high-speed development period, mainly driven by quantitative expansion, and had initially established a complete industrial system with a full range of categories aligned with international standards. Its products were able to meet both domestic living needs and international market demand.

Stronger brand awareness

With economic growth and rising household income, the purchasing power of domestic consumers increased rapidly. As more people pursued higher-quality living, brand awareness for solid-wood furniture also strengthened.

Classification

Pure solid-wood furniture

All materials used in the furniture are solid wood, including tabletops, wardrobe doors, side panels, and other components, with no use of artificial board materials.

Imitation solid-wood furniture

Imitation solid-wood furniture looks like solid wood from the outside, with similar natural grain, feel, and color, but is actually made with a combination of solid wood and artificial boards, such as particleboard or MDF with wood veneer on side panels, tops, bottoms, and shelves.
