With the arrival of the home decoration season, many homeowners are busy preparing for their new homes, and solid wood furniture has also entered its peak sales period. However, how can consumers tell if the furniture they're buying is truly made of solid wood? Fubang Meipin Furniture offers a variety of options at http://fbmp.cnjiaju.com/Share.
On April 12th, the author conducted an investigation by visiting 10 solid wood furniture stores. When asked whether their products were 100% solid wood, all the salespeople confidently confirmed it. However, the author noticed a significant price difference among similar items. For instance, a dining table labeled as "pure solid wood" could be sold for as low as $2,000 or as high as nearly $10,000. Some salespeople even hinted that the cheaper options were likely imitation products made from MDF (medium-density fiberboard) mixed with wood shavings.
Mr. Song, a local resident currently renovating his new house, shared his frustration. He and his girlfriend had been searching for solid wood furniture, but found it difficult to distinguish real from fake. “I visited numerous stores, and every one claimed to sell pure solid wood. But I was confused about the different types—willow, oak, camphor, eucalyptus. The prices varied so much, and I couldn’t tell which one was real.â€
During the visit, the author found that most stores claimed to sell 100% solid wood furniture. In one store, a salesperson insisted that a $2,800 dining table was made entirely of willow wood. Another store promoted a $2,500 oak dining set, claiming the chairs were also made of solid oak. Despite these assurances, the author noticed that none of the stores provided proper product manuals or labels.
According to China’s mandatory standard for consumer goods issued in 2004, furniture must come with usage instructions and accurate labeling. Yet, the author found that most merchants either refused to provide manuals or only gave handwritten notes, which lacked credibility.
Some stores offered to include the furniture's attributes in the contract. One salesperson at Yinglunhuazhuang said, “We can clearly state in the contract that this is pure solid wood furniture. If there’s any issue, you can rely on the contract.†However, not all stores followed this practice, and some only relied on verbal promises.
Industry experts suggest that only about 10% of the market actually sells genuine solid wood furniture, while many cheaper options are leather or imitation products. A merchant revealed common fraud techniques: one involves using a thin layer of real wood on the surface, while the inside is MDF. Another trick is to label cheap wood as expensive varieties.
To identify real solid wood furniture, experts recommend checking the texture and grain. Pure solid wood usually has irregular patterns and natural imperfections, while fake ones tend to look too uniform. It’s also advisable to purchase from trusted brands and ensure that the product details are clearly stated on the invoice.
In conclusion, with the rising cost of solid wood and the growing number of fake products, consumers should be cautious and do their research before making a purchase.
