Redwood furniture is difficult to distinguish between fog and fog

According to the mandatory standard “General Technical Conditions for Redwood Furniture” (referred to as “New National Standard”) promulgated by the State Administration of Quality Supervision and the State Standardization Administration, after February 1 this year, each piece of mahogany furniture for sale must be accompanied by instructions for use. , quality express card and product certification, commonly known as "one book, one card, one card", to curb the mahogany furniture market to fake, shoddy and chaotic. However, the reporter recently visited a number of furniture markets in Wuhan and found that merchants do not buy more "new national standard", the "identity card" of mahogany furniture can not be hanged, and the material is difficult to distinguish.

There are chapters that do not follow

Merchants ignore the "new national standard"

On March 22, the reporter came to Wuchang Yi Furniture City, where there are 20 or 20 different brands of mahogany furniture sellers. In one of the stores, a set of South American rosewood beds and two bedside tables, the discount price of more than 20,000 yuan. Asked if there is a “quality express card”, a middle-aged lady in the store replied, “You can check online.” “We have 17 stores. If everyone comes to ask for information, a store will have more than a dozen books, and the cost is high. "". It seems that the salesperson mistaken the "quality express card" for promotional materials. In the interview, the reporter found that there are still many stores that misread the "Quality Express Card". Many shopkeepers of the mahogany furniture store intentionally or unintentionally ignore the "new national standard": Some people say that "the new national standard has not yet come down"; others say "( The quality express card) The factory is in operation, and it will only be implemented on April 1st; more salesmen said that the wood and the origin will be written on the contract or the bill, and there is no "one book, one card, one card".

In a high-end furniture store, a mahogany furniture store in Fujian Province, a place of origin, the reporter saw that each set of furniture was tied to a small rope and opened a small book. The above is the quality of the manufacturer’s own technicians. Warranty, instruction manual, certificate of conformity." The reporters found that the mahogany furniture store that hangs "one book, one card, one card" like this is very rare. However, even this store with the "ID card" of furniture has not completely followed the requirements of the "new national standard". do.

In another mahogany furniture store that was priced at the price, the reporter saw that each piece of furniture was hung with a certificate. As for the quality express card and product manual, the salesperson actually said: "If you buy, we will give you the right. ”

Hubei Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau 12365 hotline: In accordance with the "new national standard" regulations, mahogany furniture products should have product assurance documents, which should include product manuals, mahogany furniture product quality express cards, and product certification. These product warranty documents should be submitted when the product is delivered, otherwise sales should be prohibited.

Contract trap

Take pears as Vietnamese pears

On March 22, Wuchang, one of the top ten brands in the mahogany furniture industry, had a hundred-bed bed and two bedside tables, with a discount of 16,000 yuan. The reporter saw that the main material on the price tag only indicated "rosewood". The reporter asked where the rosewood was, and the salesperson called "Vietnamese rosewood."

When interviewed by the reporter, I happened to meet a man named Jin who came to the store to negotiate. It turned out that Mr. Jin had purchased a set of three sets of hundred bed sets and bookcases and other pieces of mahogany furniture, which cost a total of more than 100,000 yuan. After returning, a friend reminded him, "There are many kinds of rosewood. It depends on the place of origin. If it is Africa, it will be expensive. If it is Vietnamese huanghuali, it will be worth the money."

The clerk flipped out of Mr. Jin’s backup contract and found that he only wrote “Rosewood” in general. Mr. Jin said that he did not understand the mahogany. He only knew that the Vietnamese rosewood was good. He asked the clerk repeatedly when he was shopping. He was told that it was a Vietnamese rosewood, so he bought it and did not look carefully when signing the contract. Peer friends believe that the clerk said that it is Vietnamese rosewood, the contract only writes rosewood in general, which is misleading to consumers. "If you spend a lot of money, if you buy furniture and the value is asymmetrical, others will say that you are stupid." After the negotiations, the clerk agreed to mark the origin of the verbal promise before Mr. Jin’s contract.

Xu Jingsheng, president of Hubei Redwood Furniture Association: Many redwoods with similar names or similar appearances are actually different in value due to their genus and origin. For example, a set of African rosewood beds, the market price is about 20,000 yuan, and a set of Vietnamese huanghuali bed is millions of dollars, and it is rare in the market. In order to let consumers understand consumption, the "new national standard" requires that mahogany furniture products should be named according to the tree species name (scientific name) of the main wood used. The naming contents include: the Chinese name of the timber species, the Latin name of the timber species, the number of products, and the product variety. Such as Dalbergiafusca three-piece palace chair.

Material fraud

Irrigation with mahogany

Yesterday, the reporter encountered a Zhangjiao in the redwood furniture store in Hankou. Zhang Wei is a woodworker. He has been studying mahogany for a decade or two. During the SARS epidemic in 2003, many furniture stores were deserted and the goods were not sold. He bought a few pieces of mahogany furniture when the price was low, and spent more than 10 Ten thousand yuan. "It took ten years to use, it is not deformed at all, and it is not cracked. It is more and more bright." Zhang Wei said that they are worth at least several hundred thousand yuan.

"Now, in the mahogany market, it is very expensive, and the price is low. It is difficult to meet the authenticity. Even if the price is slightly lower, there will always be adulteration." Zhang Wei said. He has a friend who knows nothing about the characteristics of different mahogany and the craftsmanship of the furniture. He thinks that the heavier the mahogany, the better. He bought a mahogany table at a trade fair. It took no long time to move home and the table legs broke. He was surprised to find that there was cement filled in it. The sellers at the trade fairs were also unable to contact and had to eat a dumb loss.

Ye Lixin, director of the Redwood Committee of the Wuhan Collectors Association: pouring cement into the wood to impersonate mahogany is a very bad falsification. In fact, in order to curb the fraudulent behavior of non-defective households, such as redwood and all-redwood, the “new national standard” requires the product proportion and the name of the material to be clearly indicated. Furniture of single tree species shall be clearly marked as full × × × and filled (single tree species); furniture of non-single tree species or timber name materials shall be clearly indicated as × × × or filled (non-single tree species or timber name materials) ), the name of the auxiliary material and the part of the material to be used shall be clearly indicated; the name of the material to be coated shall also be clearly indicated for the ××× or the coated material.

Mahogany Furniture Association:

Three certificates are rights certificates

"New National Standard" requires manufacturers to provide "ID card" for each set of mahogany furniture, which is equivalent to enterprise self-inspection," Xu Jingsheng, president of Hubei Redwood Furniture Association, said in an interview that "one card, one card, one book", in addition to consumption Those who understand consumption are still important vouchers for rights protection."

The “new national standard” requires that the product material should be consistent with the tree species or wood name and its use location clearly indicated on the product quality indication card. Once the product identification dispute has entered the judicial appraisal process, “one card, one certificate and one book” will be used as corresponding evidence. “It is recommended that consumers put this evidence in their hands and defend their rights in the event of a dispute.”

Xu Jingsheng also said that before the association, the association and the quality inspection department touched the Wuhan mahogany furniture market and found that there were very few enterprises implementing the “new national standard”. At present, the association has formulated a standard model of “one card, one certificate and one book”. The next step will be to strengthen supervision with the supervision department, and an expert group will be set up to provide identification services.
