Why is it said that solid wood bathroom cabinets must have color differences


Many families find that their bathroom cabinets have color differences after entering the real wood bathroom cabinet. I believe many buyers have encountered such situations. What is the reason behind this?

In fact, the main reason for color difference in bathroom cabinets is due to differences in tree species, origin, color, texture, and other factors. Any solid wood furniture will have color difference. Let's take a look at the reasons behind the color difference in solid wood bathroom cabinets together!

The color difference of tree tops and roots

Some solid wood bathroom cabinets are made of tree roots, while others are made of tree branches. The color near the tree roots is darker, and the color near the tree branches is lighter.

The color difference of bark and tree heart

The area near the bark in the solid wood bathroom cabinet is light in color and lightweight; The area near the center of the tree is dark in color and heavy in weight.

Color difference caused by processing methods

Furniture wood has different cutting methods, some are made by radial cutting, while others are made by string cutting. After processing, the texture is different, and two pieces of wood with different grain patterns will inevitably have color differences visually.

Color difference caused by installation factors

Due to the long growth cycle of forest resources, it sometimes requires several decades of mature timber. So even if there is a color difference in the wood, carpenters will not waste it casually. Generally, carpenters will put similar or similar colors together during the installation process, or hide wood with large color differences in hidden positions, otherwise it is easy to cause a feeling of large color differences in furniture.

Color difference caused by shooting environmental factors

Take the most common solid wood table at home as an example:

Different angles (front and side), different environments (light intensity), different devices (mobile phones or DSLRs), and different times (morning, middle, and evening) produce different images, all of which can cause visual color differences. Not to mention the solid wood bathroom cabinet placed in the bathroom?


The color difference of solid wood bathroom cabinets is determined by their natural properties. Wood is a porous material, and the density of different parts of the material varies. The degree to which each part absorbs light and paint also varies. Therefore, sometimes the colors on both sides of the same cabinet door may appear in different shades and textures, and a slight color difference is not a quality issue. But if two completely different colors appear on one surface, it may be a quality issue.
