More and more consumers are now buying mahogany furniture as an investment method. Although there are not many consumers who really plan to buy mahogany furniture for sale, many people have a chance to appreciate the appreciation potential of mahogany furniture and “buy it without losing†and buy it. However, fake and inferior mahogany furniture not only greatly reduces the investment price, but also shortens the service life of furniture and brings losses to consumers.
In recent years, the price of mahogany furniture has been rising almost every year. In order to pursue greater profits, some businesses have started to work on the materials and structure of mahogany furniture, leading to a large number of poor quality furniture entering the market, leaving many consumers to deter mahogany furniture. Mr. Wang is a veteran mahogany lover. He told reporters that although “playing mahogany†has been for more than 10 years, he is not sure that he will not be “drilledâ€. If a friend asks himself to help with furniture selection, he is also very cautious. Because the "red water is too deep" in the redwood industry.
Falsification Means Materials: Fake materials and admixture are still common. The price of mahogany furniture is high, largely because of its precious raw materials. Rosewood, huanghuali, red rosewood and other well-known redwood raw materials, prices have risen all the way in recent years, some mahogany businesses in order to reduce production costs, just playing on the raw materials to wipe the ball.
The most common is to impersonate real mahogany with colors, patterns, and similar materials. Fu Junmin, general manager of Xuanming Dianju Classical Furniture, told reporters that in order to reduce risks, some businesses will not completely use false materials, but will mix false materials into raw materials, making them difficult to distinguish.
In the case of red sandalwood, the real rosewood on the market is now very scarce. The “Ke Tan†from Cote d’Ivoire is close to the red sandalwood in color and pattern. Therefore, some merchants have incorporated rosewood to make the final expensive rosewood furniture. .
Red rosewood has become the “new darling†of the redwood market in recent years, and its blending phenomenon is also very serious. The “flower branch†of Southeast Asia, Panama and Mexico's “Dalbergia variabilis†are close to red rosewood in terms of material density, texture, and oiliness, and are heavily incorporated into the raw material of red rosewood.
Appearance: “Glue grinding†is difficult to distinguish between furniture and materials, and the counterfeiting of merchants in mahogany production process is almost impossible for consumers to identify. According to Liu Haichao, director of the Chinese classical style mahogany furniture marketing center of the Chinese court, the cheating on crafts is more deceptive. For example, colored furniture that was previously exposed by the media is the coloring of mahogany furniture to conceal the flaws of the furniture itself and make the furniture appealing. people. Consumers want to see real materials unless they polish the paint film.
Now, in the production of mahogany, there has been a more hidden way of falsification - rubber grinding. Liu Haichao told reporters that rubber-grinding furniture is not waxed or painted, and is almost the same as “White Pelican†furniture. Now many consumers want to check the authenticity of materials, and often require that businesses do not perform any treatment on the surface of the furniture. Waxing or lacquering, but with the squeegee technique, the "white stork" furniture is not safe.
The method of using a rubber mill is to cover the problem of using white skin, filling materials and drying in place. The whole process of the rubber mill is very simple. It is to grind the glue and then polish it. It is repeated two or three times to allow the glue to penetrate into the furniture. In order to cover up the white hide or the patch, it will be coated before the grinding. colour.
The furniture that has undergone the rubber-grinding process can almost be confused with the appearance of the furniture, and some mahogany furniture even has the luster of “paddingâ€. In fact, the rubber mill has a great damage to the furniture. Because the glue contains a lot of formaldehyde and benzene, these harmful substances penetrate into the wood and cannot be volatilized within a few years.
After the glue blocks the pores of the furniture, moisture in the furniture cannot be evaporated. Even if the material is not dried properly, the furniture will not crack in the first few years of use. However, over time, the stability of the furniture will be greatly affected and Not possible to fix. At the same time, mahogany furniture with blocked pores cannot produce pulp.
Structure: The structure of the stumbling block cuts down the structure, so that the mahogany furniture can be firmly combined without nails and rivets. However, some businesses are now cutting corners on the stumbling structure in order to reduce the cost of labor and materials, and even using glue and nails. The connection, once the furniture has problems, cannot be repaired at all, and the high-priced mahogany furniture becomes a pile of waste.
An industry source who declined to be named told reporters that cutting corners in structural production can at least reduce raw material and time costs by half. For example, instead of using a rivet instead of a splicing connection, the shoulder squats and the squatting shoulders do not have a "shoulder". Originally, four or five millimeters thick support frames were only two millimeters long. These methods of cutting corners will have a direct impact on the useful life of furniture, and this kind of furniture will not have the investment value that people want.
The most worrying thing is that because of the “deeply buried†in the interior of the furniture, the structural problems cannot be seen by consumers at all, and the merchants will not dismantle and let the consumers check even if they understand all kinds of relevant knowledge of the concrete structure. It is also difficult to see if a business is falsified in this regard.
Material value is not true, poor mahogany furniture, its investment value will be greatly reduced. Now, there is a new method of counterfeiting in the Redwood market - rubber grinding.
