With the increasing number of ordinary households buying mahogany furniture, some unscrupulous merchants took advantage of the opportunity to play a variety of tricks on mahogany furniture, taking shoddy, shoddy, fake and false means to deceive consumers who do not know how to do it.
In the typical case of the eight categories of consumer infringement rights in the consumer market announced by the Guangzhou Consumer Council recently, there is a typical case of fake wood mahogany furniture. Among the 2016 consumer goods consumption disputes announced by the Foshan Municipal Consumer Council, the furniture category is the most prominent; the Shanghai Consumer Council recently reported the “2016 Solid Wood Furniture Consumption Social Surveyâ€, and among the 59 samples of solid wood furniture sampled, 28 samples were unqualified, and the failure rate was 47%. Among the unqualified products, the false positive, the shoddy, and the label name were not standardized, which became the three prominent problems.
The price of mahogany furniture is high. Once the purchase of “fake mahogany furnitureâ€, consumers will suffer a lot of economic losses. Recently, some consumers reported to the newspaper that she spent more than 1,000 yuan to buy the big fruit rosewood cloaked cabinet is not real mahogany furniture, and consumers suspect that it took 100,000 yuan to buy the red rosewood is not true. of.
Yesterday, the newspaper invited professionals from the Louvre International Furniture Expo Center, Shunlian Furniture City North District, Yu Yuxuan Hongmu Culture Square and other furniture distribution centers to verify for consumers.
Market status: low pass rate of mahogany furniture sampling
In the typical case of the eight categories of consumer infringement rights in the consumer market announced by the Guangzhou Consumer Council recently, there is a typical case of fake wood mahogany furniture. Among the 2016 consumer goods consumption disputes announced by the Foshan Municipal Consumer Council, the furniture category is the most prominent; the Shanghai Consumer Council recently reported the “2016 Solid Wood Furniture Consumption Social Surveyâ€, and among the 59 samples of solid wood furniture sampled, 28 samples failed, and the failure rate was 47%. Judging from the results of the inspection of mahogany furniture published by relevant departments in various parts of the country in recent years, the qualification rate of mahogany furniture is generally low, and the information labeling confusion or even the suspected fraud problem is the most prominent.
In April 2016, the consumer bought two sets of furniture for a total price of 76,400 yuan. The ordering materials were nominally made of African rosewood and eucalyptus. After testing, the bottom plate and the side plates of the drawer are respectively cola bean and paulownia.
In June 2016, Mr. Lin purchased 4 pieces of furniture such as tables, wardrobes and beds for a total price of 47,000 yuan. The order form shows that the furniture purchased is made of rosewood (dwarf Dalbergia). After sampling the Eight Immortals table, it was found that the back end of the drawer bottom plate was actually Hedgehog rosewood.
Mr. Cai, a consumer of Foshan, spent 15800 yuan to buy a mahogany sofa. The inspection found that several pieces of wood were pressed together, not a complete piece of solid wood.
Chasing huge profits: material and name or have a greasy
Relevant personnel of the Consumer Council said that because of the different prices of different mahogany timber materials, some unscrupulous merchants have made their hands on the materials in pursuit of profiteering. The most common is the low-priced mahogany similar to the texture, posing as a high-priced mahogany. For example, it is a red rosewood branch of Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia, but it is nominally Vietnamese red rosewood; it is clearly African grass pear, but it is called Vietnamese rosewood.
In addition, the bad merchants also confuse the similar names, and sell the furniture that is not the national standard mahogany as the mahogany furniture to the consumers. For example, people can't tell whether the "African Pear" is the psychology of Anhepatite or Hedgehog. It is called "African Pheasant" which is not considered to be the Hedgehog. Another common method of counterfeiting is to use mahogany in the clear place, and use "wood" or "white skin" in "hidden places" such as legs and drawers.
Relevant personnel of the quality supervision department remind consumers to purchase the valuable mahogany furniture, check the merchant product instructions, product quality express card, product certificate, etc., and check the tree species name, including the full name of the Chinese name and Latin name, and check the whole piece. Whether the furniture is of the same material. If several materials are used, the parts and material names should be clearly marked. The use of paints, adhesives, waxes and other materials should also be marked in the instructions for use. The name of the factory, maintenance methods, troubleshooting and after-sales are not missing. In addition, the company should also ask for the product quality inspection report, the timber species identification report, etc., to check whether the tree species is consistent with the identification report.
Is it true that "African Pear" is equal to Redwood?
Experimental method: scraping amount
Consumers who have visited the Redwood Store must have heard the name “African Pearâ€, which is one of the most common “Redwood Furniture†on the market. Consumer Li spent more than 10,000 yuan to purchase a set of "non-yellow" coffee tables and dining tables. We invited Weilun, the general manager of Shunlian Furniture City, to verify.
"'Non-yellow' is a non-standard name. There is no such name in the national standard, only 'Hedgehog rosewood'." Weilun said that the “non-yellow†on the market is the hedgehog rosewood, and some are the Anhepatite rosewood or other African rosewood. The former is mahogany, the latter is not. True and false leave consumers confused in the clouds.
How to distinguish between "Redwood" true and false?
In the first step, Wei Weilun scraped a few times on the edge of the drawer with a small blade, and then put it on the side of the nose to smell it. "If the scent is light, it is a hedgehog. If you smell a pungent smell, it is other African pears," he said. From the taste to distinguish, these two pieces of furniture are true and false, the table is the hedgehog rosewood, the coffee table is the Anhepatite.
In the second step, the furniture parts are held in the hand and the weight is heavy. It is really redwood, and the weight of the “Asian Redwood†used for counterfeiting is significantly lighter.
In the third step, Lin Zhangling, general manager of Shunlian Furniture City, has demonstrated the flashlight with a flashlight or the glare of the flashlight on the mobile phone to carefully check the surface of the furniture. The surface of the wood with black lines is real mahogany, and the surface is dark and heavy, and the pattern is not visible, it is not mahogany.
How to "look, smell, ask, cut"?
Lai Jiangze suggested that consumers can use the means of “looking, smelling, asking, and cutting†to identify the authenticity.
Hope: The red rosewood wood grain often has dark brown or black stripes in the deep red, the brown eyes are slender, the tube holes are slightly thick, and the barley Dalbergia is straight but relatively thin, although the small leaf red sandalwood is very similar to the big red acid. Branch, but the tube hole is very thin.
Smell: The red rosewood as the name suggests is wood with a savory flavor, and the other two types of rosewood are not such a taste.
Q: Ask more experts in the industry to check the relevant information.
Cut: The red rosewood feels more delicate and textured, and it is heavy and the sound is crisp. The sound of the other two kinds of wood is a bit "broken".
Is the identification of the "white skin" component exceeding the standard?
Experimental method: sandpaper to remove paint
For the second piece of proof furniture - Miss Zhang spent more than a thousand yuan to buy the large fruit rosewood cloak, we invited Foshan City Yu Yuxuan Home Culture Communication Co., Ltd. Assistant General Manager Lai Jiangze to verify.
He also chose to take out the drawer to dissect. When you open the drawer, you can see it, it is painted red, and it looks like a complete piece of mahogany. After Lai Jiangze used sandpaper to polish off some of the paint, some of them showed white wood, which was in sharp contrast with the dark mahogany part next to it.
"The white part is called 'white skin', which is sapwood, white skin does not belong to mahogany. According to national standards, the white skin in finished mahogany furniture cannot exceed 10%, and the front side cannot have white skin." Lai Jiangze explained, one Only the central part of the redwood is dark, and the surrounding circle is white. White skin is not only low in density, low in pressure resistance, and resistant to corrosion, but also active cells are easily eroded by insects and are usually discarded when making furniture. Furniture with excessive white skin may be rotted or even collapsed by insects in a few years.
The white skin of this "big fruit rosewood" mahogany locker accounted for nearly half of the entire furniture. This is an unqualified mahogany furniture, not even a mahogany furniture. Lai Jiangze said that the market price of qualified "big fruit rosewood" mahogany locker needs about 5,000 yuan, and this piece only costs more than 1,000 yuan. "This is not enough wood fees. It is impossible to cut corners." Therefore, he reminded consumers that when buying mahogany furniture, be careful if the price is too low.
Is it acceptable to verify Sancha?
Experimental method: check the corners
The third one is the two stools purchased by the consumer Adong. He used it for less than a year, and one of the stool panels fell off. We invited Zhang Yinyan, the general manager of the Lougong Palace Minggongxuan Redwood Collection, to verify.
"In fact, from the material point of view, this is indeed mahogany, and it is rosewood, but it is not real mahogany furniture." Zhang Yinyan said that in addition to the mahogany furniture, the mahogany furniture must be a traditional craft, must be adoptedæ¦«å¯ structure.
æ¦«å¯ is the “soul†of mahogany furniture.æ¦«å¯ is a combination of bumps and joints used on two wooden components. The sturdy mahogany furniture looks natural and durable. If you don't use it or don't use it, you can use the glued and screw-reinforced furniture. In less than three or five years, it will fall apart or even collapse.
After verification, Zhang Yinyan said that the two stools did not adopt the sturdy structure, and they were not real mahogany furniture. They were mahogany furniture with no investment value or even practical value. Such furniture is wasted even with mahogany materials.
"The best way to check æ¦«å¯ is to look at the corner link." Lai Jiangze of Yu Yuxuan took out a plaque on the corner of the table to show us the qualified 榫å¯. Pulling down the various components one by one, the small corner can remove nearly 10 parts, and then fit them together.
He taught everyone how to check the furniture :: "Look carefully, there are traces of small squares inserted in the box. If you can't find such traces in the links of furniture, it means there is no strict æ¦«å¯ structure."
Proof that you bought a red rosewood?
Experimental method: look and feel
Siamese rosewood has many followers in the mahogany collection. Some people say that the narrow redwood is the "red rosewood." Mr. Huang spent 100,000 yuan to buy a set of red rosewood furniture, but relatives and friends told him that due to the scarcity of raw materials, the market price of red rosewood logs with a diameter of 30cm and 200cm is 600,000 yuan/ton, and the average price is about 20 yuan. 10,000 ~ 300,000 yuan / ton. Some people in the market use Barry Dalbergia (red rosewood) with an average price of about 4~50,000 yuan/ton and the red-leaf red sandalwood with an average price of about 10,000 yuan. His price may be that he bought a fake. We invited the Lin Zhangling of Minhang Yibao to verify.
“There is a high probability of seeing fakes from the surface.†Lin Zhangling said that the furniture has a deep red paint on the surface, which is the usual way of disguising the fakes on the market. At present, the most expensive mahogany in the industry is light body, not painted, and not even dark paint, so as not to cover up the texture and fragrance of the mahogany.
To prove the result of the observation, he scraped the edge of the drawer with a blade and then smelled it. "This fragrance is wrong, the texture is not a red rosewood." Lin Zhangling said that as the name suggests, the acidity is sour and fragrant, and there are relatively straight and thick black lines in the texture. This piece of furniture is obviously counterfeited with other wood. There is also a "hand-painted" red rosewood pattern, and then painted with a deep red paint to achieve a real effect.
Lin Zhangling advised consumers to buy unpainted "light body" mahogany furniture, or ask the store to take sandpaper to remove the mahogany furniture paint. When the naked mahogany is displayed, there is no adulteration.
