Another year of renovation season, panel furniture is the first choice for most consumers. Consumers with experience in decoration know that the same type of furniture can often be made from both domestic and imported plates. Then, the two kinds of plates are better and worse, how consumers should choose, Sina home reporter did a series of investigations.
Furniture purchase imported plates are more "sweet"
October is the peak season for home improvement. When reporters visited the store, they found that more than 60% of consumers are inclined to buy plate furniture when they purchase furniture, and the budget is sufficient to first consider importing plates.
In fact, domestic consumers have always favored “foreign brands†and “original importsâ€, and feel that “imports†means “high-end, environmentally friendly and high-qualityâ€.
It is precisely because of the better environmental protection of imported plates, in recent years, its sales have also been popular, especially in some brand furniture stores, consumers who purchase imported sheet furniture account for the vast majority.
Wang Xiuzhi, regional director of the Beijing market of the top 100 furniture, told the reporter that “the top 100 furniture sold in the market is divided into three kinds of plates, one is the imported Odson plate, the other is the core material and finish imported, and the processing is completed in China. There is also a domestically produced Jilin Sengong Lushuihe board.†Wang Xiuzhi said, “Imported plates have advantages in stability and environmental protection, especially the Odson board environmental protection standard can reach the highest internationally recognized F four-star rating. In terms of sales volume, the first two imported plates accounted for about 85%, while the domestically produced plates were relatively small."
At the same time, Wang Xiuzhi reminded consumers that imported plates have customs declarations, and consumers can ask merchants to produce customs declarations when they purchase. At the same time, the signing of the furniture sales contract must be clearly stated by the business, so that there is legal effect, in order to protect rights in the future.
Profit temptation leads to chaotic market
Imported plates are good, but the price is 10%-40% more expensive than domestic plates, which also makes many consumers with limited economic capacity retreat. The reporter's investigation found that in fact, in the low-end furniture market, domestically produced plates are still the main force. At the same time, in these markets, there are many counterfeiting and price confusions in sheet metal furniture.
In the Shilihejia and Jiamei Hengfeng furniture stores, a four-door wardrobe costs about 1,800 yuan, and if you choose imported sheets, it costs 2,400 yuan, which is 30% more expensive. But when the reporter said that he wanted to see the "identity certificate" of the plate, Li’s clerk said, "I don’t know where to import, and there is no proof in the store. But after doing business for so long, it will definitely not deceive customers."
Afterwards, the reporter came to Hongli Furniture to inquire. I did not expect the clerk, Ms. Liu, to tell the reporter directly. “There is no imported board at all, and the lie is domestic.†Ms. Liu also said, “The domestically produced Jilin Forester is very good. Now, they all catch up with the price of solid wood panels." The same wardrobe with Jilin Sengong Lushuihe board sells for about 2,800 yuan.
After visiting five or six stores, the reporter found that most of the merchants claimed to use the "Lushuihe" board, and some showed the "anti-counterfeiting mark" on the board to some reporters, and some took out the "authorization certificate" of the manufacturer. The price of the wardrobe ranges from 2,000 yuan to 4,000 yuan. As for the "imported plates", most of the businesses are vague and cannot produce "identity certificates."
Then the reporter came to the neighboring home, there are no shortage of formal large-scale brand furniture, but the same wardrobe even the price of domestic plates are also around 6,000 yuan, the imported board is still expensive two or three thousand, with home The price difference between home and home is more than doubled.
An industry insider revealed that if it is the real Jilin Sengong Lushuihe E0 grade board, the price of such a four-door wardrobe is at least 5,000, and the price of two thousand or so is not enough.
“Because the plate of the Lushui River is very famous, some manufacturers like to use the steamed bread to enter the plates of the Lushui River and get the factory authorization. But in fact, the products are not using the real dew plate.â€
Expert: Rational purchase does not have to be superstitious "foreign plate"
The most intuitive difference between domestic and imported plates is the formaldehyde content. Under normal circumstances, the environmental standards for imported plates are slightly higher than those for domestic plates. In fact, in recent years, the environmental standards for domestic plates have also been greatly improved.
It is understood that some of the major brands such as Baiqiang, Yifeng, and Ameite use Jilin Sengong Lushuihe. The environmental protection grade of this kind of board can reach E0 level, which is the most high-grade and environmentally-friendly board in China. The formaldehyde content is far below the national standard. In this regard, many people in the industry have said that the domestic brand plate, in fact, environmental performance can fully meet the needs of home improvement.
"Good import plate stability is relatively better, but if it is some unknown, small country's import plate may not be as good as our domestic plate." National Furniture and Indoor Environmental Quality Supervision and Inspection Center executive deputy director Luo Wei said that the plate Formaldehyde content and environmental protection are only one aspect of furniture. Consumers should also consider the strength, manufacturing process and applicability of the board when purchasing.
In addition, Director Luo also reminded consumers that when purchasing furniture, it is necessary to see the test report. It is best to choose a company with good reputation and good brand, so that all aspects of product quality can be guaranteed. If the consumer has doubts about the quality of the purchased furniture, he can bring furniture, contracts, etc. to do the relevant quality inspection.
