White-collar Ms. Wang's new house is about to be handed over. She has been busy visiting furniture stores and comparing prices for the past month or two. To her surprise, the furniture price of this year's brand furniture agent seems to be more affordable than in previous years, and the price of her favorite solid wood furniture is not as high as it used to be. "In the past, some solid wood furniture stores in large furniture stores basically cost one large piece of furniture, such as a wardrobe, bed, or a dining table, usually costing 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and the sofa cost tens of thousands of yuan. "Yuan." Ms. Wang said, "This year many large pieces of solid wood furniture have reached less than 10,000 yuan, and many merchants have launched special products, as low as five or six thousand yuan can buy a large piece, which bought furniture in the first two years It ’s very rare. â€The cheap price has made many consumers choose solid wood furniture. Miss Wang ordered two wardrobes and two beds for a total of 20,000 yuan, and the average price is only 5,000 yuan. For the price of solid wood furniture dropped this year, Miss Wu of Yuzhu Timber Net also agrees: "Take our more expensive dark and hardwood furniture and mahogany furniture as an example, this year's price must have dropped." Take Madaga For example, a set of seven-piece dining table in the small leaf red sandalwood of Sri Lanka, if purchased at the Zhongshan production base, this year can be purchased for about 10,000 yuan, but it may be 12,000 yuan in the first two years. It is understood that the ex-factory prices of high-end solid wood furniture have generally fallen by about 10% this year, and the declines in furniture stores have been even greater. Reporters have seen in some furniture stores that it is common for solid wood furniture to hit between 30% and 30% off, and mahogany furniture has even fallen to 50%. Manufacturer: From wooden furniture to solid wood furniture In addition to falling prices, furniture stores seem to be particularly fond of solid wood furniture this year. The reporter saw in a large furniture store in Haizhu District that two of the six storeys were dominated by solid wood furniture. In a medium-sized furniture store in Tianhe District, solid wood furniture is sold on the first and second floors. A salesperson at the store told reporters: "Now many customers require all solid wood, especially some families with children." In addition, this year's solid wood furniture is also more authentic. In the past, the common practice in the industry was: more than 70% of solid wood is called solid wood furniture. This year, many manufacturers regard "all solid wood" and "pure solid wood" as their most important selling points, and promise to write "guaranteed" all solid wood "or" pure solid wood "on the sales documents. The reporter at the store found that Qumei furniture, which has always been characterized by the bending technology of sheet metal, has also launched a new Chinese series of solid wood, and the price is very high. Subsequently, Qumei Company confirmed to reporters that the series was launched at the beginning of this year. "Sheet furniture is more popular, and the positioning and pricing of solid wood series products will be higher than that of sheet metal." Qumei Company said. It is understood that the company's sales of another high-end solid wood series that has been launched for more than a decade have been bullish. "In recent years, the sales growth rate of this series has exceeded the trend of sheet furniture." In response, Wang Ke, president of the Guangdong Furniture Association, pointed out that this is the result of the transformation and upgrading of furniture manufacturers. "In the past five years, the production of panel furniture in the Yangtze River Delta has developed rapidly, which has caused greater competition pressure for panel furniture manufacturers in Guangdong." Wang Ke pointed out that some manufacturers of pure panel furniture in Guangdong have begun to shift to the production of panel wood Solid wood furniture. Analysis of the reasons: the price of raw materials fell, export manufacturers turned to the domestic market "The price of solid wood furniture has dropped, and the very important reason is that the price of raw materials for furniture machinery purchases has fallen," Wang Ke pointed out. A few days ago, the China Timber Price Index (TPI) released by the China Timber and Wood Products Circulation Association showed that in September 2012, the comprehensive price index of China's imported wood was 108.9%, a year-on-year decrease of 10.4%. . In the Yuzhu International Timber Market, as a well-known timber distribution center in the country, there is no imaginary bustle and no spectacular timber piles. Many shops are closed, and some empty shops are filled with one or two piles of wood less than one person tall, which looks very deserted. According to Miss Wu of Yuzhu Timber Market, this year's market is not good, and the demand is sluggish, and businesses are not inclined to accumulate large quantities of inventory. In addition, the storage cost of too much inventory is relatively expensive. The price index released by Yuzhu Timber Network shows that domestic sawn timber has only slightly increased since 2011. The domestic sawn timber index reached a stage high of 139.47 points at the end of March 2011, and then fell back slightly to reach the end of May this year. A stage high of 144.43 points, an increase of less than 4%. In addition, analysts pointed out that due to the sluggish furniture export market, many export furniture manufacturers had to turn part of their export business into domestic sales, resulting in more fierce competition in the market, and businesses will naturally launch certain concessions. Some of the special products launched by some merchants have caused the prices of large pieces of solid wood furniture to be as low as several thousand yuan. These very close-to-people solid wood furniture is mainly produced in Russia and Northeast China, such as basswood, oak wood, birch, etc. . The price of imported wood is relatively high, although the price of products will also fall, but the price will still be much higher than that of domestic solid wood furniture. "Market competition has compressed the profits of factories and pushed the prices of solid wood furniture to no longer high." Wang Ke emphasized that in recent years, the degree of mechanization of furniture production plants has increased, which can shorten the man-hours required for the production of single pieces of solid wood furniture. Materials, etc. have also made the comprehensive utilization rate of raw materials generally reach 90%, which has promoted the popularization of solid wood furniture production and price reduction. Qumei also said that since it also has different types of products covering solid wood, board wood, board, etc., it can reduce product costs. Industry views: solid wood furniture is still not the mainstream market "Solid wood furniture is the mainstream of traditional Chinese furniture, and sales in the domestic market are better." Yang Zhihua, secretary general of Lecong Furniture Association, pointed out that solid wood furniture has more cultural heritage, and there are more young people with higher education among home buyers. Pay attention to the appreciation value of furniture. However, Yang Zhihua also pointed out that panel furniture is still the mainstay in the Guangdong furniture market. "Solid wood is not necessarily high-end." Wang Ke reminds consumers that, in general, the cost of raw materials and manufacturing processes of solid wood furniture is higher than that of sheet furniture, but sheet furniture also has its own advantages. "Slab furniture is stable and easy to shape, avoiding problems such as decay and moth-eaten." Manager Wu of the Marketing Department of Guangdong Yonglong Furniture Factory pointed out that many board manufacturers have already produced E0 grade boards, which can fully meet environmental standards. Regarding the price, Yang Zhihua pointed out that according to the different positioning of consumers, the price trend of solid wood furniture also varies greatly. "In recent years, the characteristics of mahogany furniture's value preservation and appreciation have been outstanding, attracting many people to buy, and the price has once risen. However, at present, other wood solid wood furniture is still mainly used for functions." Yang Zhihua reminded that domestic furniture is very affected by the real estate market. Large, and it will take a long time for the furniture market to fully flourish and increase prices.
