Wooden furniture materials are self-defeating

Netizen Miss Xia recently encountered a confusing thing when buying solid wood composite flooring: several kinds of flooring wood are related to "red sandalwood", but they are different, such as "red sandalwood" and "nanyang red sandalwood" , "red sandalwood", "red sandalwood" and so on. The salesman couldn't explain it, so she turned to the editorial department for help. I hope the expert can help her answer the doubts in her heart.

Xiaobian investigation found that similar phenomena are not uncommon in the market. Experts said that these are the non-standard names of wood. In order to self-lift their prices, many wood labels for furniture and flooring are often “Climbing Dragons”, when consumers buy Need to pay more attention, so as not to buy a bargain at a high price.

Commonly known as mixed name is still more common

It is understood that as early as the end of 2009, in response to the problem of non-standard names in the market, the market has been rectified before. Since then, the market has been relatively standardized, and brand businesses will mark the surface and substrate materials of the floor. However, Xiaobian recently visited the market and found that some brand merchants are still playing "word games."

In a brand store, Xiaobian visited a number of floor stores as consumers. Xiaobian saw that most brand sellers will fill in the core material and surface material according to the uniform price requirements of the store. However, in the face material, there are also some businesses that only identify "common name."

In a floor shop, Xiao Bian found that the names of many woods are very familiar, such as "Huanghua Pear", "Red Chicken Wings", "Red Tan" and so on. Xiaobian consulted "Red Chicken Wings" what kind of wood, the salesman said, "is African chicken wing wood." On the brand's product leaflet, Xiaobian also saw different wood names such as “coffee black wings”, “African chicken wings”, “classic red wings” and “red chicken wings”. From the picture point of view, these wood patterns Some are similar and the colors are different. The other two woods with similar colors are “red sandalwood” and “small red sandalwood”, while “nanyang red sandalwood” and “dand sandalwood” appear in another brand floor store.

Xiaobian’s doubts have been confirmed by experts in the industry. These “names” on the price tag and on the product list are “common names”, which are “non-standard names”, and some “even common names are not counted”. "Business made up."

Self-lifting price has a high trick

Xiaobian observed that some merchants would identify the canonical name of the wood, but in addition to the ordinary "榆木", "柞木" floor, the wood name of most products is more or less prefixed, and with the prefix, the wood It seems to be "noble" a lot. Some merchants have added a lot of modifiers to the flooring category, such as "dark rosewood oak", "walnut red oak", "chicken wing wood white oak", etc., adding a lot of "precious" color to ordinary oak. More merchants added the origin and adjectives in front of the wood to blur the wood itself. Take a brand of "Teak" series as an example, "Africa teak", "Mediterranean teak", "Aristocratic teak", "rich teak", "Pomelo king", "Yellow teak"... a wide variety of people are suspicious: Are these all teak? What is the difference between each? At the time of purchase, the consumer can only listen to the salesperson's commentary. There are also some merchants that have indicated the series to the products, such as “Binzhou Sunshine×××”, “Emperor’s Wind×××”, “Pearl White×××”, “Royal Classic×××”, etc. The identification of the person increases the difficulty.

As consumers who do not have the expertise of wood, they generally cannot tell which one is “common name” and which is “scientific name”. Is there any way to distinguish it? Sun Shudong said that the scientific names of some woods are transliterated from Latin, which is relatively "more strange." In addition, if the name given to the wood by the merchant is "country, place name or color", then the consumer is best to ask what the standard name of the wood is.

In order to avoid confusion when problems arise, experts recommend that consumers require merchants to write the canonical name in the contract, write the Latin terminology of wood (international common name) or follow the "China's main timber name" standard and "China's main imported wood name" The Chinese name specified in the standard is used to protect the rights and interests of the material due to disputes.

Purchase vigilance risk

Why do businesses not use the standard name of wood? Sun Shudong, director of the Furniture Inspection Office of the National Furniture and Indoor Environmental Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, said, “In the 1980s and 1990s, due to the inability of domestic timber to meet the needs of domestic production, many timbers were imported from Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, etc. It is a wood that is not available in China. At that time, there were no relevant regulations. Some merchants gave various kinds of common names according to the similarity between the pattern and the existing wood.” It is understood that various names that consumers see in the market have It belongs to the common name used now, and some belong to the merchant "take it for the concept of speculation", so the labeling is not standardized, the confusion is called to confuse the situation, and this also happens to consumers. There is a certain risk.

Imposter

Because the name is commonly used or the name of the merchant, the consumers themselves have no way to distinguish the authenticity of the materials. In addition, consumers are more vigilant that some bad businesses will make similar wood in a similar name. The floor or furniture is sold to consumers at a high price, such as the southwest birch is confused with the cherry wood by the name of “domestic cherry wood” or “cherry wood”; and the furniture material with a price of 20,000 yuan or 30,000 yuan is “belonging to the rosewood”. "African Pear", but "African Pear" is not a canonical name. It can only rely on tree species identification to identify identity. Whether it is a rosewood is not known.

2. With false realities

"Because of the common name, it also gives some opportunities for wood to be fake." The common name of Oakwood from Africa is "Red Walnut", and some people call it "Peach Blossom." Some merchants will also refer to the "human face" and "cano paint" with similar colors as "walnut" to achieve the purpose of "fake the real thing."

3. Transfer flowers

In addition, the precision of the name is not negligible to consumers. Generally speaking, "walnut" corresponds to "black walnut", while the domestic name of "eucalyptus" should be "walnut" or "walnut". If consumers buy "black walnut", they must not ignore the word "black", otherwise they may change from "black walnut" to "eucalyptus". In addition, "rubber wood" and "oak" are only one word difference, and some salesmen will be vaguely introduced during sales. Consumers need to be wary of "small flowers".
