Solid wood furniture is difficult to distinguish between the MDF and the MDF.

Since entering October, the furniture market, which has three sofas, beds and wardrobes, has been “lively”, and the sales promotion methods of discounting and price reduction are dazzling. At the same time that high, medium and low-end furniture sales are extremely hot, complaints that follow are increasing. The slogans such as “all solid wood” and “zero formaldehyde” attract people's attention, but the solid wood furniture market is full of fish, and consumers are difficult to distinguish.

Solid wood furniture is difficult to distinguish

Solid wood furniture refers to all natural wood that has not been reworked, and does not use any wood-based panels. Is there really so much solid wood furniture in the furniture market? Are the furniture that carries the "solid wood" label made of solid wood?

In a furniture store, the reporter saw a double bed with a price of 7999 yuan, marked with solid wood. The reporter asked what kind of solid wood, the sales staff said it was oak, and repeatedly said that it is definitely solid wood. However, when the reporter repeatedly confirmed whether the whole bed was made of oak, the salesperson had to reveal the truth: "Only the bed is made of oak." And said that it is impossible to buy the whole price of less than 10,000 yuan. Solid wood double bed.

"The material of the wardrobe feels quite good. I thought it should be real wood." The citizen Xiao Wang told the reporter, "It took a long time to discover that it was actually a MDF veneer. The store defended that it was only said at the beginning. It is 'solid wood class', it is not said to be pure solid wood." Some careful consumers will consciously move the furniture, try the weight of the furniture, think that the weight should be real wood, in fact, this is not reliable. According to industry insiders, the current furniture manufacturing technology is very advanced. Non-solid wood furniture can be made more gorgeous and more weight than real solid wood furniture.

In an interview with various furniture stores, the reporter found that most shops selling wooden furniture will produce “100% solid wood” signs, but a large part of them are “solid wood furniture” that is forged by the skin. It is difficult to see what material was used. Some so-called "pure solid wood furniture" use multi-layer boards, particle boards, and even medium-density boards in areas such as back sheets and drawer boards that are difficult for consumers to pay attention to. Sell ​​"pure" furniture at a "pure" price and earn a high price difference.

The reporter learned that according to the "General Technical Conditions for Wood Furniture" jointly issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the National Standardization Administration, the furniture components must reach more than 70% of the solid wood standard to be called solid wood furniture. Some merchants said that "pure solid wood furniture", "log furniture", "environmental solid wood furniture", not mentioned in the national standards, is not standardized.

Put on "solid wood" clothes for several times the price

In a furniture store, the reporter found that some merchants detailed the product name, number, size, grade, origin, material and other information, and some only marked the price and origin. In the use of materials, the labels of each family are also very different, many simply labeled "solid wood". At present, the state has not yet imposed mandatory regulations on furniture products, and the phenomenon that manufacturers and distributors are marked by sex is everywhere. Although the price tags are different, each merchant is consistently keen on discounts. A set of sofas with a price tag of 10,000 yuan, just a price inquiry, the sales staff will give a discount of 6.5 fold, and after some bargaining, the discount can be hit lower.

The reporter found that “there is also a low profit”, which is the information disclosed by the industry, and the mystery lies in solid wood and non-solid wood. It turns out that the use of a variety of wood in a piece of furniture is very common. In the case of an ordinary wardrobe, the materials of the panel and the back panel are different. The side panels and the bottom panel often do not use the same material. It is normal for a wardrobe to use six or seven kinds of wood. According to the "rules" in the line, as long as the solid wood material exceeds 30%, it can be sold under the signboard of "solid wood" furniture. Actually, only some of the main materials are solid wood, and the auxiliary materials are some plates that have been veneered to make imitation wood. However, the furniture marked as "solid wood" and actually only part of the solid wood, the price can be several times more than the cost.

"Furniture Instruction Manual" identifiable plate

According to industry insiders in the furniture industry, the method of distinguishing the plates is from the cut surface of the plate. The fine fibers in the high-density plate are tightly combined, and the density is large and heavy; the fine particle structure of the particle board is not tight enough, and even small can be seen. Fine holes, lighter in your hand. In addition, if the same texture of wood appears repeatedly on a set of furniture, it is mostly imitation solid wood furniture with melamine paper. The texture of the solid wood furniture penetrates the entire board, and the front side looks like a pattern, so the corresponding pattern should also be visible at the corresponding position on the back side.

Business people remind consumers that when purchasing furniture, they should take the initiative to request the "Furniture Instructions for Use". The main materials, auxiliary materials, adhesives, formaldehyde content, after-sales service, etc. specified above are the consumer's understanding of products and after-sales rights protection. Important basis; when signing the contract, it must be marked with the size, appearance of wood color, materials, quality assurance and after-sales service. The order form of each manufacturer can not be regarded as a contract, and the guarantee or standard contract text issued by the decoration city is approved by the industrial and commercial department.

At the same time, the industry and commerce department also said that when buying solid wood furniture, we must also pay attention to the fact that the price and quality of solid wood furniture of different tree species are far apart, so beware of shoddy business. Ordinary solid wood furniture usually uses ash, eucalyptus, eucalyptus, eucalyptus, pine, etc., while high-grade solid wood furniture mainly uses rosewood, rosewood, ebony and other precious materials. The current market for solid wood furniture is rather chaotic, and there are often phenomena of shoddy and confusing trees. Consumers are better off buying brand-name products to avoid being fooled.
