Consumers who buy upholstered furniture are confused

Not long ago, a news about straw and black cotton in the mattress caused concern about soft furniture. How to choose soft furniture that can't see the inner filling material became a common concern in the furniture purchase season. According to industry insiders, software furniture is a relatively professional product, such as sofas, soft beds, mattresses, etc. It is not easy for consumers to easily identify the quality of the product when purchasing. In addition, there is no environmental standard for soft furniture in China, and it is also difficult to purchase.

A practitioner who distributes soft furniture said that the quality pressure of soft furniture is indeed greater than that of solid wood and panel furniture. Many unqualified products of small and medium-sized enterprises are flooding a large part of the market. The lack of environmental standards and the inability to monitor the quality of materials are currently The bottleneck of upholstered furniture.

Consumers who buy upholstered furniture are confused

Soft furniture has an established market demand, but the large and small software furniture brands on the market dazzle consumers. A consumer who is buying a leather sofa, Ms. Wang told the author that she has seen more than a dozen branded stores, but mainly value the price, style and comfort of the sofa. Regarding how to identify the quality of the leather sofa, she said helplessly: "The guides said that they are the first layer of cowhide and the filler that will not collapse. I can only listen to the introduction, and I really don't identify it."

Regarding whether the sofa meets the environmental protection standards, Ms. Wang said that due to the preparation for pregnancy, the environmental protection of the decoration and furniture is very important, but the sales personnel of several brands have not come up with relevant environmental certification, but only suggested that she can smell when buying. Whether the lower leather sofa has a strong taste, or purchase a sample sofa that has been placed in the store for two months, the smell will be reduced.

The new three standards will issue a limited amount of hazardous substances

Today, more and more furniture is no longer a single piece of wood, many of which use materials such as glass, metal and even sponge. However, in the current national standard GB18584-2001 "Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Wood Furniture for Interior Decoration Materials", the relevant test methods only deal with the formaldehyde emission of the plates used in furniture, heavy metal lead in paint, mercury, cadmium, etc. The content is specified, and the toxic and harmful substances such as total volatile organic compounds and azo dyes (decomposable aromatic amines) contained in the upholstered furniture are not described. This has also led many soft furniture manufacturers to simply accept the formaldehyde emission as the basis for environmental protection of the product. The overall environmental protection of the furniture is not objectively reflected.

It is understood that the newly approved "Limited Quantity of Hazardous Substances in Soft Furniture Mattresses", "Limited Quantity of Hazardous Substances in Upholstered Furniture Sofas" and "Soft Furniture Sofas" have been approved and will be issued in July 2012. The "Determination of Dimethyl Fumarate Content in Furniture" implemented by Japan has made provisions for the selection and production process of raw and auxiliary materials for soft furniture, formaldehyde, dimethyl fumarate, azo dyes, etc. for soft furniture products. For the first time, the limit indicator was clarified.

The definition of harmful substances has been increased, and the harm of the anti-flame retardant to the human body in the mattress fabric has been introduced, and five kinds of flame retardants which are banned are clearly specified. The "climate box detection" method adopted in the new standard effectively compensates for the inadequacy of local destructive testing. No matter which material is used for soft furniture, as long as an environmental protection index is not up to standard, it will be concentrated in the comprehensive test results.

Small brands account for most of the quality supervision problems

According to the Secretary-General of the National Association of Industry and Commerce Home Decoration Association, there are currently nearly 10,000 domestic furniture companies, and no more than 10 well-known enterprises with an output value of more than 1 billion yuan, accounting for only 1%. Most enterprises are small in scale and homogenized, and some small enterprises have escaped from quality supervision. Zhang Chuanxi believes that the integration of the software furniture industry mainly depends on the purification of the market itself and the driving force of the industry organization.

Most of the well-known software furniture brands are concentrated in large-scale stores, targeting high-end consumer groups, and the stores have quality requirements for the brands they enter. However, the home furnishing stores in the country are far more than these. The price of small or wholesale small-brand furniture is relatively low. It is the main purchase target of most consumer groups. How should the quality of this part of the software be guaranteed? The industry believes that the current soft furniture is small. Brands are mixed and the quality of products is uneven. The industry needs to be integrated. The production of large brands usually has a strict internal inspection process. From the supply of materials to the finished products, the department responsible for quality must control the whole process. Not too much, not to mention a small factory with only a dozen employees.

In addition to the improvement of product quality, single product and serious homogenization are also problems that software furniture will face in the future development process. In this regard, the industry said: "Homogeneity is normal, there is no way. Software furniture is rare in China, not companies do not want to innovate, after all, innovation needs to invest, small brands do not have the capital and design capabilities, and their innovation is not as good Take the road of imitation. "Insufficient talent reserves, lack of funds, and malicious competition in the market constrain the innovation ability of the software furniture industry. Some well-known companies have realized this and are striving to innovate in product functions, model design, and the use of new materials.

Affected by real estate regulation, the overall performance of the software furniture industry fell by 20% this year. The impact of the big environment is a relatively difficult period for the soft furniture brands, but at the same time it can also temper the market and accelerate the market reshuffle. In the long run, Brand companies and consumers are good things.
