The new national standard of mahogany furniture is expected to curb the "price chaos"

Nearly eight unsupervised mahogany furniture distribution centers, more than ten different mahogany furniture stores, more than 30 different quality mahogany furniture brands... If the Beijing mahogany furniture market is quantified, it is not difficult to find, want to buy Piece of mahogany furniture is not difficult, but it is not easy to buy a piece of mahogany furniture that is genuine and affordable. Although since August 1, 2012, the national mandatory standard "General Technical Conditions for Redwood Furniture" (hereinafter referred to as "new national standard") has been implemented, but due to limited consumer perception, different levels of business attention and supervision by relevant departments Not enough strength, the current "price chaos" is still the biggest ills in the mahogany furniture market.

Recognize the new national standard tree species of mahogany furniture

Avoid the business to "charge the price"

“The new national standard has expanded the category of redwood species. Our new products use new redwood species.” When I visited, a redwood furniture brand store near the South Third Ring Road recommended a “pseudo-redwood” price of nearly 100,000. Furniture. In fact, there are no such species in the national standard. In fact, “confused tree species” is a trick used by many street-side mahogany furniture stores to raise prices. In this regard, Jiang Hengfu, secretary general of the Traditional Committee of the China Furniture Association, confirmed that the new national standard of mahogany did not define the scope of use of the tree species. Therefore, there is no such thing as expanding the scope of the tree species.

"The same paragraph" mahogany furniture can be several times different in price

Consumers can verify their identity through "1 book, 1 card, 1 card"

A mahogany furniture store near Fangzhuang Bridge, a mahogany furniture shopping guide said that its three-piece fan-shaped official hat chair belongs to the rosewood, priced at about 58,000 yuan. Why is the same product seen in other stores only 20,000 yuan? The shopping guide explained that the cheaper is "Myanmar red rosewood", the home is "Laos red rosewood", "Laos" is four or five times more expensive than "Myanmar".

Is that true? In this regard, Ren Cheng, vice president of the family, said that the origin of raw materials is indeed the main reason for the price of mahogany furniture, but at present, the identification of wood in China can only be made to the material, and it is impossible to accurately reach the place of production. Therefore, without scientific verification as a backing, it is not excluded that some businesses deliberately obscure the name and origin of the material, and even make a big fuss. This is the biggest problem that plagues consumers, and it has become the key to the constant dispute.

Ren Cheng also said that the new national standard requirements: mahogany furniture must be equipped with "1 book, 1 card, 1 card" (product specification, mahogany furniture product quality express card and product certificate). In this way, consumers can learn about the implementation standards, process classification, quality grade, scope of application, main materials, finishing and decoration processes of mahogany furniture. At present, the Redwood City Hall of Lize Shop in the Real Estate has required all resident mahogany furniture brands to be accompanied by "1 book, 1 card, 1 card". If the consumer finds that the product is “not right”, the “express card” can be used as the basis for the appeal and claim.

Falsifying the "proportion" of raw materials can increase the spread

Redwood new national standard has strict requirements

In the mahogany furniture market, there is also a situation in which two pieces of similar furniture can produce a price difference of about 1.5 times, that is, the proportion of raw materials used. This is also the key point for some businesses to be "ambiguous."

Pan Haiying, general manager of Youlian Redwood, said that the new national standard requires businesses to indicate the proportion of materials used in each piece of furniture, and whether their products are “full mahogany” or “partial mahogany”. “Full mahogany furniture” means that all parts of wood products, except mirrors, pallets and linings, must be made of mahogany heartwood; “partial mahogany furniture” means that the visual parts of the product must be made of mahogany, internal and hidden parts. Use no more than 1/10 of the sapwood (wood with the same heartwood, between the heartwood and the bark).

It can be seen that if you do not want to be a victim of the "family game" of commercial household materials, it is best to have it.
