The expensive "solid wood" furniture that Mr. Zhang bought for more than 30,000 yuan was actually pressed from paper shells and foaming agents; Ms. Jiao accidentally touched the furniture, and she found out that the so-called solid wood furniture she bought last year was actually " Resin-molded "furniture ...
These frauds are jaw-dropping, and the shady "solid wood furniture 70% fake" exposed by people in the furniture industry is even more angry.
Only the head of the bed is made of solid wood, dare to call it a "solid wood" bed
Solid wood furniture refers to all materials are natural solid wood that has not been reprocessed, and does not use any artificial board. Is there really so much solid wood furniture on the market? Are those furniture with the label "solid wood" made of solid wood?
At a furniture shopping mall in the city center, the reporter saw a double bed priced at 8,900 yuan, marked with solid wood. The reporter asked what kind of solid wood, the sales staff called oak , and repeatedly said that it is definitely solid wood. However, when the reporter repeatedly confirmed whether the entire bed was made of oak, the salesperson had to reveal the truth: "Only the head of the bed is oak." And said that it is impossible to buy a full price for less than 10,000 yuan. solid wood double bed.
Redwood, American oak, Fraxinus mandshurica, Phoebe nanmu ... The reporter walked through the entire furniture store and found that the furniture marked as solid wood has a wide variety of materials, and the price is higher than the furniture marked with veneer. However, after continuous questioning by reporters, these businesses all admitted that the furniture sold was only part of solid wood. The sales staff admitted that the average consumer would not ask so carefully, and they would not say that their furniture was made of solid wood, so that even if the consumer questioned afterwards, they did not have any fault.
However, a random interview by the reporter found that most consumers believe that all furniture marked with "solid wood" should be made of all solid wood. Some attentive consumers will consciously move the furniture, try the weight of the furniture, and think that the weight should be real wood, which is actually not reliable. According to industry sources, the current furniture manufacturing technology is already very advanced. Non-solid wood furniture can be made more gorgeous than real solid wood furniture, and the weight is very heavy.
Marked with "solid wood", the price can be up to 5 times the purchase price
In the same furniture mall, the reporter found that some businesses detailed the product name, serial number, specifications, size, grade, origin, material and other information, while others only marked the price and origin. In terms of the materials used, the labeling of each house is also very different, and many are simply labeled "solid wood". At present, the country has not yet issued mandatory regulations on furniture products, and manufacturers and distributors are often marked by sex. Although the price tags are different, the merchants are unanimously keen on discounts. A set of sofas with a price of tens of thousands of yuan was sold by the sales staff at a discount of 15% as soon as the price was inquired. After further bargaining, the discount could be lower.
"No matter how low it is," this is information disclosed by industry insiders, and the secret lies in solid wood and non-solid wood. It turned out that the use of multiple types of wood for a piece of furniture is very common. Take an ordinary wardrobe as an example, the materials of the panel and the back panel are different, and the side panel and the bottom panel often do not use the same material. It is normal for a wardrobe to use six or seven types of wood. The unspoken rule in the industry is that as long as the solid wood material exceeds 30%, it can be sold under the sign of "solid wood" furniture. In fact, only some of the main materials are solid wood, and the auxiliary materials are some boards that are made of imitation solid wood by laminating. However, furniture that is marked as "solid wood" and is actually only part of the solid wood can be sold for up to 5 times the cost.
Take a set of furniture with a price of 10,000 yuan as an example, the purchase price is generally only about 2,000 yuan, even if the original price is 50% off, it can be sold to 5,000 yuan. If you encounter a buyer who will particularly bargain, the price is reduced to 40%, deducted Various expenses can also earn a lot.
"Selling only partially solid wood furniture as all solid wood furniture, this is still a" conscience "of manufacturers and merchants." Mr. Pan, who has been engaged in furniture sales for more than 20 years, broke the news. According to him, there are some small workshops that use moulding to make inferior furniture with resin materials, and then sell it in the name of solid wood furniture, the cost of which is only 20% of solid wood furniture. Such as the use of cheaper foaming agents and other materials, the cost is lower.
Selling fakes ca n’t stand the test of time. Three to five years is enough to make “inferior†furniture inferior, but by that time, stores that originally sold furniture may have already changed ownership. Large, around 30%.
Destructive testing makes it difficult for consumers to protect their rights
In consumer protection associations and other organizations, furniture complaints are not rare. However, when the citizens heard that the testing of furniture required destructive sampling such as drilling holes in the furniture and had to pay for it by themselves, it was finally lost. After all, a set of furniture is expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford it. Moreover, the existing quality inspection technology can only detect whether the furniture is solid wood or plate or other materials, and cannot detect exactly what kind of wood it is.
I want to know whether the furniture is made of solid wood without disassembling it. Some experts in the industry have taught me to find an obscure corner on the back or bottom of the furniture, and gently drill a small hole with an electric drill to see it out. Is it wood chips?
However, in order to avoid trouble in the future, consumers should be cautious before buying. If the merchant claims to be solid wood furniture, try to let him issue a certificate, which is the key evidence for the protection of rights in the future. Once you decide to buy, it is best to let the merchant fill in the materials of each part of the furniture clearly. If the merchants are obscured by various reasons and are reluctant to provide bills and write clear materials, it is recommended that consumers should not buy them.
