Title: Plywood is failing!
Post by: baileyuph on June 30, 2019, 06:31:10 am
Recently, there has been a run on repairing brand new furniture due to plywood failures.  Of course,
it is made in China but this stuff is looking to be of less quality.  China also is noted not to use any glue
in there construction and the plywood used - well obviously doesn't exemplify good wood glue if
any at all?

Where the legs are attached (around corners), I have had to remove the upholstery in the area and
saw a higher quality wood to be integrated into the area.  This could also be related to people
getting bigger - made worse anyway.

There is some irony here........the people aren't complaining about a China product - they want it fixed!

One would think it would start a new wave of thinking about building domestic furniture like
was done several years ago?

The good news is - added business for the furniture repair shops!
