Do you still remember the news about the "deadly chest of drawers" a few years ago?

If the furniture design is not reasonable, there may be serious safety hazards. For example, the "death chest of drawers" was a tragedy caused by unreasonable design and installation. In reality, there are many factors closely related to furniture safety. If you don't want your family to live in a home with potential safety hazards, you must know the following furniture safety hazards.

1. Stable and reliable

In our daily living space, furniture is the main component, such as sofas, dining tables and chairs, beds... These furniture are used every day, so we must choose stable and reliable ones.

When buying furniture, it is best to go to the site to choose and try to shake it hard to see how stable it is - first of all, the material must be reliable, and you must not choose inferior materials that break easily; secondly, the installation structure must also be firm. Although it is impossible to use a mortise and tenon structure, it must be stable enough to install.

2. Arc corners

The furniture is usually placed in a place where daily activities are frequent, so the edges and corners of the furniture should not be too sharp to avoid accidental injuries caused by daily bumps. Especially for furniture made of stone, glass or metal, if the edges and corners are too sharp, it is simply a weapon, which poses a great threat to the safety of your family.

3. Low cabinet anti-fall

For example, the thin and tall chests of drawers and shoe cabinets at home are prone to falling over when pulled out with force; especially those with drawers. If the drawers are filled with heavy objects, they are prone to tipping over when pulled out. If a child stands next to the cabinet, he or she may be crushed by the cabinet, so the chest of drawers must be well-prepared to prevent tipping over, and the back panel must be fixed to the wall with screws.

4. Environmentally friendly materials

When furniture is in use, it will be in direct contact with our body. If the furniture material is not environmentally friendly, it may cause skin allergies; if the formaldehyde or TVOC exceeds the standard and emits a choking odor, it will have a terrible harm to the health of the family, and in severe cases it may even induce diseases such as leukemia.

5. No risk of suffocation

For families with infants and young children, you may want to buy furniture that is more childlike and unique. When buying this kind of furniture, you also need to consider the "risk of suffocation" issue - 1. There should be no small exposed accessories to prevent children from swallowing them and causing suffocation; 2. There should be no long ropes to prevent children from getting entangled and suffocating; 3. There should be no gaps that children could get stuck in; 4. Soft furniture with unreasonable design may cause suffocation risks to children if they lie on it.

6. Easy to clean

Furniture is used every day and is easily dirty when children play on it. If the dirt is not cleaned in time, it may breed bacteria or even mold, which is very harmful to the respiratory health of the family.

Choose furniture that is easy to clean and maintain, such as solid wood furniture, which can be cleaned by just wiping it when it gets dirty; if you buy fabric furniture, make sure to buy detachable and washable furniture, otherwise the fabric will absorb dust and will turn black and moldy over time.

7. Don’t go too big

The size of the furniture should be large enough, but not too large! If it is too large, it will make the space crowded and affect the circulation. It is easy to bump into it when walking around, causing accidental injuries.

8. Prevent collapse hazards

Some styles of furniture are designed with holes and gaps. If the holes and gaps on these furniture are not reasonable, your fingers may get stuck when you put them in, causing accidental injuries! For furniture with holes and gaps, the size and depth of the holes and gaps must meet specific requirements to avoid accidental injuries.

The designer concluded with a few words:

Home is a warm and relaxing place for us, and furniture is an indispensable part of every family. We must choose safe and reliable furniture to provide a safe and comfortable environment for our family and avoid unexpected injuries when we are most relaxed and comfortable.
