Decorating and buying furniture is like taking apart a blind box. Whether it is easy to use and whether it is worth it, you have to open it and actually use it to find out. The 7 types shared by
in this issue are just like that. They are all pitfalls that major netizens have stepped on. I advise everyone to take a detour and never buy them. They are really not nonsense. They are all "bitter fruits" that have been experienced by spending money!
1. Don’t buy microfiber leather sofas
. The so-called microfiber leather is actually artificial leather. Compared with ordinary PU leather, a meshing process is added to the bottom. Its breathability and wear resistance are better than PU leather, and it is closer to the effect of genuine leather.
At first, I chose the more affordable microfiber leather sofa because of this craftsmanship, but to be honest, after buying it and experiencing it, I regretted it.
Take the current season as an example. The floor heating in the house is very warm, but it is very out of place and still feels cold to the touch. Every time I sit on it, I have to go through a wave of psychological construction and muster up the courage to sit on it. It is very helpless.
The same applies to the cushions. I don’t dare to lean on them while wearing a vest. I’ll get sweaty after a while and the cushions will stick to my back when I stand up.
Many people who buy leather sofas feel that it is cold in winter and sticky on their legs in summer. Not to mention the ultra-fiber leather like this two-knife, it is even worse.
Moreover, people say that the leather surface of microfiber leather is easy to take care of, but in fact it is not the case. Colored sauces such as ketchup cannot be wiped off, and over time, the skin will peel off and crack.
Therefore, if you have enough budget, it is recommended to buy a leather sofa directly. Otherwise, buy a fabric sofa. Artificial leather that cannot go up or down is really not easy to use.
2, suspended slate dining table
acrylic transparent table legs + ultra-thin slate tabletop, which makes the dining table feel like it is floating and looks very high-end. Many people place orders because of its appearance.
But after using it, you will find that there are many disadvantages:
① The slate desktop is thin and hard, feels cold to the touch, and does not have the moist feeling of wood. Although it is easy to scrub and does not bleed, because the surface is not completely smooth and has an uneven texture, cup marks will still appear after a long time, and it cannot be wiped off with a rag.
Moreover, the four corners are sharp right angles, almost like a hidden weapon. Once you accidentally bump into it, the feeling will definitely be remembered for a lifetime.
② The transparent table legs are designed to be relatively inward in order to increase the sense of suspension. This will cause the legs to knock up if you are not paying attention when sitting, making it difficult to place your legs.
Therefore, for those with children or pets at home, this kind of transparent table legs and sharp right-angled furniture are very unfriendly. It is recommended to choose a dining table with rounded corners and table legs close to the edge, which is more practical.
3 and track socket
have good looks, can be increased or decreased at will, can be moved left and right, and have a full sense of technology, so they have attracted many people to pay for them.
But is it really that useful? Many people regretted it after actually using it:
First of all, the entire track and the socket are relatively thick, about 5cm. Some people installed it on the sideboard without paying attention to the thickness. As a result, the sideboard is only 20 to 30 centimeters thick. After the track socket is installed, small kitchen appliances cannot be put in.
Of course, it can be embedded in advance, but not only the hard installation is troublesome, but replacement later is also a problem.
Secondly, the advantages of track sockets are rarely used in daily life. Think about it, after plugging in the plug, they are too lazy to pull it out. Who would bother to move, add or remove sockets?
Furthermore, the track socket, no matter how many plugs are used, the power is shared. If multiple high-power electrical appliances are used at the same time, problems such as short circuits will inevitably occur.
Like this netizen’s home, the track socket suddenly caught fire. Fortunately, someone at home discovered it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
So, in summary, instead of installing new track sockets, it is better to make a few more ordinary sockets, which is more concise and saves space than track sockets.
4. Very low chandelier
It must be admitted that if the dining table chandelier is lower, the light will be warmer, the atmosphere will be fuller, and it will also have the effect of elevating the ceiling.
But I advise you to be cautious. If your family likes to eat hot pot, try not to do so.
High-temperature heat may not only cause a short circuit in the chandelier circuit, but may also affect your diet and health. The water vapor floating up will turn into water droplets without any waste, and then drip into the hot pot (don't ask me how I know this).
Therefore, the height of the dining table chandelier is preferably above 80cm. It is not safe if it is too low.
5, Wrought iron bedside tables
I am worried that wooden bedside tables contain formaldehyde . Many people have bought this kind of wrought iron bedside tables, which are attractive in appearance and safe. There are partitions around the upper layer, so things will not fall out easily, so you don’t think you have picked up a treasure.
But after actual use, I found that this kind of bedside table has many unexpected disadvantages:
The first is that it is extremely noisy, regardless of whether it holds mobile phones, water bottles, or chargers. Wait, it will make a clanging sound, which sounds very harsh;
Furthermore, the originally protruding partition is actually a dust accumulation artifact. The dust on the four sides of the partition is particularly difficult to wipe off. It is black, and a little dust is very obvious, which adds a lot of trouble to cleaning.
Therefore, I suggest you that drawer-type wooden bedside tables are more practical. Choose pure solid wood without worrying about safety issues.
6, Electric curtains
You can control the opening and closing of curtains through voice, app or remote control, eliminating the trouble of manually pulling the curtains before going to bed.
In order to experience this sense of technology, I blindly installed them in my home. However, after I moved in, I discovered that the electric curtains in my home’s two- to three-meter-wide windows could not be opened and closed as quickly as my manual ones.
I opened it manually in one second, and the electric curtain started in at least 3 seconds. I couldn't stand it if I was impatient.
Moreover, the automatic opening and closing function is not very useful to me. I have long been accustomed to the lifestyle of first closing the curtains before going to bed and then getting out of bed and then closing the curtains after sleeping. This has led to the fact that I have almost never used the electric mode after living here for a year.
I personally think that electric curtains are useful for situations where your home has an extra-long balcony, fantasy curtains, pleated curtains , or if the curtains on the bay window are not adequate. Ordinary small windows are really not very useful. If you have the money, it is better to buy better curtains and tracks.
7 and
faucets with water flowing out are like this. There is a water outlet above the faucet. After switching, it can be directed to the face. You can brush your teeth without a tooth cup, which provides a lot of convenience for daily washing.
Even so, I don’t recommend you to choose it. First, the water outlet hole of this kind of faucet is too small. If the water pressure at home is high, just open it and it will wet your face. If the water pressure is low, the water flow will be unstable, which will be very embarrassing.
Furthermore, if the washbasin is not wide enough, the water will splash out when turned on, leaving all over the floor. After many people use it once, it will be left idle, which is very useless.
Therefore, when choosing a faucet with water outlet, you should pay attention to two points. First, the outlet hole should be as large as possible to avoid water accumulation after opening. Second, you should know the inner diameter of the wash basin in advance to avoid the above embarrassing situation.
