Citizen Mr. Yang recently planned to add a mahogany circle chair, but he felt more at a loss after turning around in many furniture stores . "There are many varieties of mahogany furniture, and the prices are very different. The prices of different chairs are tens of times different. If the merchant does not clearly identify the specific materials of mahogany, non-professional customers can't figure it out!"
A reporter ’s investigation found that Mr. Yang ’s confusion stems from a common problem faced by the mahogany furniture market-although the “new national standard†of mahogany furniture requires merchants to present a “product quality express cardâ€, the implementation is poor, and the sales of mahogany furniture are left to the merchants ’mouths "Running the train", consumers can only "run their luck".
Redwood "learning" big business is "fetish"
Zhang Zhengji, who has been in the mahogany industry for more than 20 years, told reporters that the "learning" in the mahogany is very large. Taking red rosewood as an example, there are Dalbergia davidii, Dalbergia davidii, Dalbergia austria, Dalbergia villosa, and Barry Dalbergia and other tree species, and the quality and price of different origins vary greatly. "For ordinary consumers, it is very difficult to figure out these and buy mahogany furniture. If you are not careful, you will be deceived by the business."
Jiang Xiaomei, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Forestry, admitted that good mahogany raw materials have to grow for hundreds of years, but the demand is huge. Now the raw materials are basically imported, making mahogany furniture a scarce resource. Redwood also carries the national culture and has a certain collection value. The common people are now living well and hope to make some investments, but the more expensive the more expensive, the more expensive the more fried, driven by interests, it is not ruled out that some businesses resort to the trick of substituting the best and stealing.
An industry source who did not wish to be named revealed that many merchants do not write the proprietary scientific name of wood when selling, only write the common name, black to write sandalwood, and bright colors to rely on Huanghua pear. The phenomenon is not uncommon.
Mr. Sun, a citizen who also likes mahogany furniture, told reporters that he only had some small mahogany ornaments, and they all bought from acquaintances. "The mahogany market is chaotic. I dare not go to the market easily because the mahogany furniture on the market is not clearly labeled. The merchant said that it is Hainan Huanghua pear, but the expert looked at it as Vietnam Huanghua pear. Who dare to buy it?"
New regulations are difficult to implement
The reporter learned that in order to curb the mahogany furniture market from being false and substandard, the new mahogany furniture national standard "General Technical Conditions for Mahogany Furniture" (industry referred to as "new national standard") requirements implemented from February 1 this year, Mahogany furniture products should have product guarantee documents, including product instruction manuals, product quality cards, and product qualification certificates, commonly known as "one book, one certificate, one card". Among them, the content of the product quality express card shall clearly state the classification, name, model, specifications and materials of the product, which is called the "identity card" of mahogany furniture.
The introduction of the "new national standard" for mahogany furniture is precisely to regulate the mahogany furniture market and better protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. Zhou Jingnan, deputy research librarian of the Palace Museum in Beijing, said in his real-name Weibo that after the introduction of the new national standard of mahogany, the 33 standards of the original five categories and eight categories have increased several times, and the cost for consumers to purchase new mahogany furniture will be reduced. , Is a good thing for consumers.
However, more than two months have passed since the implementation of the "new national standard". When reporters interviewed the mahogany furniture market in Beijing, they learned that the "new national standard" has not been well implemented. "Unidentified products have confused consumers."
The reporter recently visited many Redwood furniture sales venues such as the Red Museum, Guoxiyuan, etc. in Beijing. Many merchants do not have a product quality card. In the redwood store of the Red Star Macalline International Furniture and Building Materials Plaza in West Fourth Ring of Beijing, not only do they have no corresponding product certificates, but some do not even have product labels, customers need to inquire about materials and price information one by one. The prices of the mahogany furniture displayed in the furniture information exhibition hall range from tens of thousands of yuan, hundreds of thousands of yuan to hundreds of thousands of yuan.
The market needs to be regulated and chaotic to be regulated
Experts interviewed by Jiang Xiaomei said that in order to ensure their own interests, the easiest way for consumers who do n’t know much about mahogany is to go to furniture stores with high reputation and good reputation; Brands, in addition to the complete "one book, one certificate, one card" at the time of purchase, some content must be written into the supplementary terms of the formatted contract.
Pan Haiying, the person in charge of a mahogany furniture mall in Beijing, introduced that the content of the "product quality express card" is divided into two parts. The first part includes the company's factory logo, the explicit card name, and the explicit card number; the second part covers all quality information of the product , Such as product implementation standards, product classifications, product models, product specifications, etc. "By reading the express card, consumers can basically know."
"Consumers have the right to know about the purchased goods, and the operators of the goods are also obliged to provide consumers with real information about the goods or services. If there is fraud in the consumption of mahogany furniture, consumers have the right to double compensation "Said Tie Jun, a lawyer from Beijing Guangsheng Law Firm.
Wang Xiulin, senior consultant of the Traditional Furniture Professional Committee of the China Furniture Association, said that the new national standard for mahogany furniture has positive significance for the development of the industry, but the implementation is not yet in place.
