"100% solid wood bed" price difference is ten times

A Shenzhen brand directly-operated store on the fourth floor of a furniture store specializes in high-end European and American style furniture. According to the sales staff, all the furniture is made of pure solid wood. Take the three-door wardrobe as an example. The main material is oak. For the sake of beauty, a layer of rosewood is attached to the surface, but "100% is pure solid wood."

According to the "pure solid wood" standard, the sales staff wrote a furniture configuration list for a small three-bedroom apartment. The price of an oak bed is 27158 yuan, the price of a three-door wardrobe is 22365 yuan, the dressing table is 15850 yuan, and the dining table is 31300 yuan ... A small three-bedroom is barely equipped with basic furniture. The total price is more than 230,000 yuan. More than 180,000 yuan after 7.8% off.

The same is a "solid wood bed", why some sell 3,000 yuan, some sell 30,000 yuan? The Shenzhen brand ’s sales staff confessed to the “unspoken rules of the industry”: many sellers claim to sell solid wood furniture, but in fact, only the main frames such as facades are made of solid wood, and panels such as MDF are used. "Unless the consumer cross-examines in detail, the seller will never actively admit that he is not using 100% solid wood."

In the store:

"Solid wood" bed only has solid wood headboard

When the reporter visited the furniture market, he also found that when the salesperson introduced the materials of various solid wood furniture, he could always name some imported solid wood-Pontian wood in India, Oguman in Africa and maple in South America.

The reporter asked what material was used for a wooden bed with a price of more than 10,000 yuan in a solid wood furniture store. The sales staff made it clear: "It is a high-grade solid wood imported from Africa." The reporter picked up the product label and found that the place of origin was in Lecong. The reporter also asked "Why is it empty?" The salesperson replied: "Only the headboard is made of solid wood, and both the bed board and the bed body are core boards."

The merchant claims:

70% solid wood is pure solid wood furniture

Miss Chen, a salesman of the furniture brand, revealed that even all solid wood furniture may not be made of high-quality materials. She said that regardless of the black rosewood, red rosewood, or rosewood in the mahogany wood, there are different grades of materials. The merchants use different grades of mahogany wood for load-bearing and non-load-bearing components to reduce costs. Open secret.

At a furniture counter in a private city, a male salesperson enthusiastically introduced a modern-style wardrobe to the reporter. The reporter asked about the material of the furniture. The salesperson answered “solid wood”. The reporter knocked on the bottom plate of the wardrobe and found the sound and the facade. There is a clear difference in the percussion sound, and the person changed the name to "The main body is made of solid wood, and some are made of plates."

According to a female salesperson with the surname Yang in the store: "According to national standards, solid wood accounts for 70 to 80%, even if it is pure solid wood."

Industry news

It is said that imported solid wood is actually artificial board

Ms. Cui, has been in the furniture industry for five years. "It's too difficult to buy solid wood furniture. There are very few real pure solid wood furniture!" She revealed that many furniture dealers often sell their products under the name "pure solid wood" and "solid wood", many of which are solid wood. , Which may be high-density board.

Another person in the Shunde furniture industry, Mr. Ye, revealed that the so-called solid wood furniture advertised by the merchants mainly has two big cats.

The greasy one: Laminated "wood"

Complete fraud: the business puts a layer of "wood veneer" that looks like solid wood on the outside of the furniture;

Cat greasy two: domestic wood made a "foreign name"

Confusion about the name of materials: Foreign trees grown in China have become a foreign name. For example, the domestic rosewood is called African rosewood, which makes consumers feel that the materials used are "advanced". In fact, the two materials are completely different.

"To be honest, not many people really know the goods!" Ms. Cui said that she was not a person in the industry and could not tell whether it was solid wood or what kind of wood. Some people use hand-knocking, sniffing and other methods to distinguish, which is useful for those with rough workmanship, and is difficult to distinguish for those with fine workmanship.

What kind of greasy home?

The sales staff said in a word what kind of high-grade imported solid wood is the raw material, but there is no corresponding mark on the product information.

Purchase contract: the finer the better

In particular, pay attention to whether the merchant indicates "all solid wood furniture" or "solid wood furniture". Do not simply write the main and auxiliary materials of the furniture, but also indicate what kind of wood is used in each part. Also clearly indicate the furniture price, color and style.

False rights protection: double compensation

The person in charge of the Foshan Consumer Council said that if there is evidence to prove that the solid wood furniture purchased by the consumer is fake, and the merchant advertises that it is solid wood furniture, it is suspected of fraud and the consumer can get double compensation. However, consumers should pay attention to retain product descriptions, brochures and receipts indicating the materials used when buying furniture.

Event exposure:

Foshan furniture leader

Succeeded in random inspection half a year ago

According to media reports yesterday, in addition to Da Vinci, in January this year, an investigation team in Hangzhou purchased 13 pieces of “solid wood furniture” from seven well-known home furnishing markets in Hangzhou. These used fake wood in varying degrees. Among them, the Federal Furniture of Foshan is among them. The coffee table for random inspection, the manufacturer advertises that the main material is teak, and the auxiliary material is oak.

After a lapse of half a year, when the news was reintroduced, it once again attracted public attention.

Yesterday, the relevant person in charge of the Federal Group said that the shopping guide personnel of the Federal Group broke out in Hangzhou this January to mislead the consumer, mainly because the store sales staff failed to master the specific titles of various types of furniture in the relevant national technical standards. Clearly define the category of products sold, which leads to ambiguity and misunderstanding when introducing products to customers.

The Federation has strictly ordered all sales channels to strengthen the training and management of employees, and has also formulated instruction manuals for furniture products, which clearly marked the product structure and technical characteristics, main raw and auxiliary materials, wooden furniture implementation standards, and hazardous substance limits for factory furniture.

Yesterday, the reporter secretly visited some federal furniture stores as consumers, and found that the sales staff introduced the solid wood furniture in detail, and there was no deliberate confusion and misleading behavior.
