In recent years, due to the precious materials and the traditional handicrafts are all used in the production, the price of mahogany furniture has risen year after year, and each set has easily reached hundreds of thousands or even millions. However, the reporter visited the Beijing market and found that due to the lack of a clear and uniform identification standard, a large number of sub-good and false pretences appeared in the mahogany furniture market, seriously damaging the interests of consumers and legal operators.
Questionable furniture
In June 2008, Beijing Yinji Tianchuang Investment Co., Ltd. purchased more than 10 sets of furniture from Beijing Jinfei Redwood Furniture Factory for 5.9 million yuan, including rosewood, red rosewood, rosewood and other valuable varieties.
In April of this year, the person in charge of Yinji Tianchuang accidentally discovered that the wood at the bottom of a red sandalwood case was white, and subsequently, wood with abnormal colors was found on more than 10 pieces of furniture. Yinji Tianchuang sent 5 pieces of suspicious wood to the professional department for testing.
The inspection report issued by the National Furniture and Indoor Environmental Quality Supervision and Inspection Center shows: "According to the standard inspections of GB / T 18107-2000" Redwood "and GB / T 18513-2001" Name of China's Main Imported Timber ", this material cannot be called red sandalwood . "
In the "Beijing Furniture Sales Contract" provided by Yinji Tianchuang, the name of the furniture is marked as "Purple Sandalwood" and the quality standard is "First Class". Yinji Tianchuang requested Jinfei Redwood to pay double the compensation in accordance with the total amount of the contract in accordance with the provisions of the Consumer Rights Protection Law.
On May 25, the reporter accompanied Yinji Tianchuang's lawyer to Jinfei Redwood Furniture Factory in Changping District, Beijing. Wu Xinjian, chairman of Jinfei Redwood, believes that the presence of other wood in the furniture is not deliberately falsified. "One piece or two may be the carelessness of the workers, or it may be other reasons."
Wu Xinjian proposed that according to the requirements of the industry standard QB / T 2385-2008 of "Dark and Dark Hardwood Furniture" by the Ministry of Light Industry, only the nominal "full XX furniture" means that the furniture is all made of this kind of wood; like Yinjitian In the contract created by the company, only "Sandalwood furniture" is allowed, and no more than 10% of "sapwood" is allowed.
Wu Xinjian said that it is possible to "repurchase" the rosewood furniture worth 3.41 million yuan with a price of 2 million yuan. If Yinji Tianchuang insists that all contracts must be returned, then both parties must find an authoritative appraisal agency to The furniture is all sawed and identified one by one.
The reporter consulted Dong Laichao, a lawyer of Beijing Kaiya Law Firm on this matter, and he said that the operator is obliged to inform consumers whether it is "full rosewood furniture" or "red sandalwood furniture." If the operator knows it, but the consumer does not, the operator may infringe on the consumer's right to know and commit fraud.
In addition, Dong Laichao believes that "Dark Color Precious Hardwood Furniture", as an industry standard, also has problems with unclear and detailed regulations, which has led to disputes between the two parties. How deep is the "water" in the mahogany furniture market
According to media reports, in 2008, Henan consumer Ms. Liu purchased Huanghuali furniture worth 8.5 million yuan from Jinfei Redwood. The contract agreed that the material is "Fragrant Dalbergia, commonly known as Hainan Huanghuali". Later, consumers found that the material of this furniture was Vietnam Huanghuali, which was several times lower in price, and they took Jinfei Redwood to court for fraud.
In May, the Beijing Changping Court dismissed Ms. Liu ’s lawsuit on the grounds that there was no authoritative body that could identify whether the furniture material was Hainan Huanghuali, and the plaintiff failed to provide evidence to prove that Jinfei Mahogany had committed fraud when selling furniture. Lost in the first instance.
The court judged the issue of "no authority". The reporter interviewed the wood furniture quality supervision and inspection station under the Beijing Municipal Quality Supervision Bureau and the Wood Industry Research Institute under the Chinese Academy of Forestry. The staff of the Beijing Furniture Quality Inspection Station heard that the reporter asked for the identification of "Haihuang" and "Yuehuang" and said that they can only identify whether the wood is Huanghuali, "the area cannot be identified." The appraisal personnel of the Chinese Academy of Forestry said that in the national standards, only the provisions of Xiangzhimu, the expressions of "sea yellow" and "yellowish yellow" are the market names, the national standard does not recognize it, only the wood is whether it belongs to Xiangzhimu Perform identification.
In the Jinfei Redwood Showroom in Changping District, Beijing, the seller told reporters that since the lawsuit, they no longer call them "Haihuang" and "Yuehuang", but collectively called "Xiangzhimu". "I can only tell you that this set of fragrant wood furniture sells for 1 million yuan, and that set sells for 100,000 yuan. If you believe that this set of 1 million yuan is 'Haihuang', you would buy 1 million yuan." The seller said.
In a furniture exhibition hall in Sanhuan, the sales staff recommended red rosewood "old material" furniture to reporters, which was twice the price of furniture that was nominally "new material".
It was noted that all furniture sellers did not mention the "full XX furniture" and "XX furniture" provisions in the "Dark Dark Precious Hardwood Furniture" standard.
People in the industry who have worked for many years told reporters that the so-called "mahogany furniture" actually refers to the heartwood of Pterocarpus, Dalbergia, Diospyros, Clematis, and Helix species, which are divided into eight categories, namely red sandalwood , Rosewood, fragrant branch wood, black rosewood, red rosewood, ebony, striped ebony, chicken wing wood, these tree species can be divided according to the origin, the wood of different origin may produce several times or even dozens of times the price difference.
If it is not soaked in these woods for many years, it is difficult to accurately distinguish the origin and the new and old of these woods. "Industry sources said that the behavior of" yellow yellow "as" sea yellow "," new material "as" old material ", mixing other materials with precious materials, and the actual size of the product shrinking than the sample have become some illegal businesses in the market. "Unspoken Rules".
Furniture torture managers' moral bottom line
Wang Yan, vice president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce and Industry Collectibles Chamber of Commerce and general manager of Beijing Aijia Redwood Daguanlou, said that in the 1990s, there was a boom in mahogany furniture consumption in the market, and the market peaked from 2004 to 2006. Under normal market conditions, the annual increase in value of wood materials of different materials ranges from 10% to 30%, which also leads to the upsurge of buying mahogany furniture for investment purposes.
Lang Danke, Director of the Complaint Department of the Beijing Consumers Association, said that since this year, the Beijing Consumers Association has received 16 complaints about mahogany furniture, 4 of which are related to the use of other wood in the backrest, beams and other parts of the mahogany furniture.
Industry insiders told reporters that the reasons leading to the chaotic mahogany furniture market include unclear national mahogany standards, incomplete identification system, and lack of effective constraints.
First of all, the prevailing national "Redwood" standard does not specify what kind of wood is included in some types of redwood. For example, Hainan Huanghua Pear and Vietnam Huanghua Pear are quite controversial. According to the "Redwood", Hainan Huanghua Pear belongs to "Fragrant Dalbergia", but it has not been determined whether Vietnamese Huanghua Pear belongs to this tree species, leading to chaos in the market. "Charming eyes.
At the same time, there is no authoritative body for the identification of mahogany. At present, most of the domestic wood testing departments are some wood research institutes. These institutions can often only identify "classes", but the key "origin" that affects the market price of some woods cannot be identified. According to industry insiders, at present, when appraising the material of mahogany furniture, they often can only rely on experience and feeling to judge.
For some manufacturers, the regulations on the name of furniture in "Dark and Dark Hardwood Furniture" are used as a reason for excuse. Lang Danke believes that the industry standard is not a universal standard as an industry regulation. For consumers, it is easy to "Furniture" is understood as the overall use of this material for furniture. He believes that in the sales process, even if the products manufactured by the manufacturers meet the requirements of the industry standards, if the consumers are not clearly informed about the materials used in the furniture, they are still suspected of infringing the consumers' right to know, and whether the manufacturers strictly implement the industry standards to produce products There is no corresponding penalty for whether the furniture materials are clearly indicated to consumers in accordance with industry standards.
Wang Yan believes that due to the professionalism of mahogany, consumers should first simply learn when buying. It is best to have some mahogany models and be familiar with the characteristics of different wood patterns. At the time of purchase, consumers must choose a formal store and must ask for a valid sales certificate. The scientific name and Latin name of the mahogany material must be clearly indicated on the certificate, and the origin of the material and the use of sapwood should be clearly specified.
"As operators, we all hope that this market can be formal and sunny." Wang Yan said.
