Some furniture in the mahogany furniture market has no "identity card"

Beginning on August 1, the new version of "General Technical Conditions for Redwood Furniture" (hereinafter referred to as the new national standard) was officially implemented. The new national standard stipulates that mahogany furniture must have a product quality express card, and must provide product warranty, return and after-sales charges.

In other words, mahogany furniture, which has always been regarded as “the insider dares to play”, may also enter the homes of ordinary people. The clear description of the materials, process and price on the express card is equivalent to the “ID card” for the mahogany furniture. Once the public finds “the goods are not right” after the purchase, the express card will be an important basis for the claim. This also means that the market chaos that used to be faked or even mixed in the former mahogany furniture market may be changed.

However, it has been more than a week since the implementation of the new national standard. Is the rosewood market really improving as expected? In this regard, the reporter visited the Beijing Redwood Market yesterday and found that some of the mahogany furniture is still "unidentified."

Found that the mahogany furniture market has no "identity card" for some furniture

Yesterday, the reporter visited some home furnishing stores in the North Fourth Ring Road and East Fourth Ring Road and the professional mahogany furniture market. It was found that most shopping mall sellers have adopted a unified commodity price card in accordance with regulations. For the reporter to question the product materials, the merchant clearly stated, "Our contract will clearly mark the materials, processes, prices, etc. of the products to ensure that the products are genuine. If you find problems, you can find us and you can find the store."

However, in the professional market where mahogany furniture is gathered, the situation is not optimistic. In a Gaobeidian mahogany furniture store, the reporter saw, although the store seems spacious enough style, but which sell furniture, no less than 10,000 yuan, the most expensive a hand-carved coat Laos Rosewood cabinet offer 120 000. The reporter carefully observed that the mahogany furniture in the store did not have an explicit sign, and only a small note with a handwritten price was attached to the corner of the furniture.

Subsequently, the reporter visited a number of independent stores nearby and found a large number of identical situations. Some stores do not say that the product is clearly displayed, and even the simple quotation card is not available. When the reporter asked about the new national standard of mahogany furniture, many clerk even did not know.

An industry insider who did not want to be named revealed that the bosses of these furniture markets will look at people. "If you know how to do it, he will give a real offer. If you don't understand it, it is a price."

Most of the voice consumers wait and see. Experts say they need to increase law enforcement.

The reporter randomly interviewed 10 consumers in the home store and the mahogany market. Two of the citizens said that they had not heard of the new national standard; three citizens said that the new national standard had an explicit card after the introduction of the product, which was more secure when purchased; The visiting public believes that the implementation of the new national standard still needs a transition period, and it is best to wait and see.

“The mahogany furniture is too deep. I used to buy acquaintances for parents. Now there is more protection.” Mr. Zhou, who plans to add a pair of ring chairs to his parents, said that the new national standard will make you feel more comfortable when buying furniture.

The "player" Mr. Fu, who has some research on mahogany furniture, thinks: "It is very common for the industry to mix materials. These blended furniture cannot be pulled out by the merchants, so the main reason for buying mahogany furniture is to rely on 'eyesight'. '."

Industry experts pointed out that the new national standard is the first Chinese traditional hardwood furniture standard set at home and abroad. As a national mandatory standard, after implementation, it will increase the regulation of industries and enterprises, and will also play an active role in safeguarding corporate interests and protecting consumer rights and interests, and promoting the sound development of the mahogany furniture industry.

"But the word '红木' has conceptual understanding at both the cultural and wood science levels. There is no controversy about the concept of culture, but there is controversy in the concept of wood science. Although there have been industry standards before, there are different views on the standard industry. He Shanda, vice president and secretary general of the Zhejiang Collection Association, said in an interview with the media.

An industry insider told reporters that the implementation of the new national standard still needs time to test, and it can solve the chaos in the mahogany market. The key is to see whether the relevant provisions of the new international can be put in place. "The implementation and implementation of the new national standard will be very difficult. In addition to the industry itself needs to raise awareness and implementation of standards, relevant departments must also increase law enforcement," said the source.

The new national standard stipulates that mahogany furniture products must be equipped with a national uniform product quality express card. The merchant must not only clearly indicate the relevant content of the product, but the labeling specifications must be uniform. If the consumer finds that the product is “not right”, the express card can be used as evidence for the appeal and claim.

The contents of the express card shall include at least: product execution standard, product classification, product name, product model, specification, production date, main product materials, product finishing and decoration process, product warranty and product delivery party information (production enterprise or distribution). Business information).

In addition, by reviewing the old national standard, it can be seen that the standard lacks detailed and explicit provisions on the product manual, product contract and product label. The new national standard not only complies with the product label, but also supplements the product contract, which clarifies the contents covered by the product manual.

The new national standard also requires all sellers to provide after-sales service, such as product warranty, product return, product warranty conditions beyond the warranty conditions and warranty period. Text / reporter Li Song
