The salesperson did not deny the use of wood-based panels on the desktop, and said: "The solid wood dining table is not indicated on the order. It is not a solid wood dining table. According to the regulations, more than half of the solid wood is called solid wood furniture. Only solid wood furniture. Only in addition to hardware, all other structures are made of solid wood.†Ms. Hu was very confused by the salesperson’s various “solid wood furnitureâ€. Why are solid wood furniture not all solid wood, solid wood homes have more “realâ€? How to choose?
