Customized furniture can be customized according to the type of room and the needs of consumers. It has more choices in size and style, and is more and more favored by consumers. In the past two years, major mainstream stores in Beijing have gradually adopted custom home brands as their main sales category. After visiting the custom furniture category in major home shopping malls, the reporter found that each custom furniture brand has its own algorithm in terms of pricing method, material selection, and warranty period. There are differences among brands. Consumers should choose Learn more about the product in advance and avoid "custom traps."

When consumers go shopping in the storefront of custom furniture, the first choice is to make the choice of materials. In general, the salesperson in the store will first ask the consumer what kind of custom products are needed. The prices of materials of various materials are not the same, but the dazzling names often make consumers buy what they want. Mr. Wang purchased a custom solid wood furniture with a price of over 15,000. When the purchaser said that the furniture was made of solid wood custom furniture, after buying it, he found that the load-bearing part was pure solid wood, and the rest was solid wood granules. Board, after contacting the merchant, the merchant said that the solid wood particles are also a kind of solid wood.

In addition, a variety of pricing methods also make consumers feel puzzled. When Ms. Wu bought the custom furniture in the double eleven, she found that the pricing methods of different brands are different, and there are many ways to calculate the price according to the length of the meter, the area of ​​the expanded area, and the price of the shadow area. The reporter visited and found that custom cabinet products, most of the merchants choose to follow the price of Yanmi, custom wardrobe products, most of the merchants choose to calculate according to the expansion area, some packages with special provisions on the size of the furniture, will choose to be based on the shaded area.

Consumer Ms. Hu bought a set of custom furniture in a certain brand. After the product was finished, she suddenly remembered that a corner of the wall side cabinet should be rounded. The designer asked for a rounded corner to increase the price by 240 yuan. The manufacturer explained that since the custom furniture is basically a special order, it costs more to make up later. The reporter learned that no matter which pricing method is used, most of the in-store sales staff will quote the simplest form of 2 drawers and 6 partitions. If the consumer has a specific design, such as a special shape of the door panel, etc., you need to make more budget. In addition, the thickness of various types of plates is not the same, for example, 5mm, 7mm, 9mm, 18mm, 25mm and other specifications, the price is also different, similar problems occur in the consumption process.

By visiting the market, the reporter understands the rules of custom furniture consumption, prompting consumers to know the pricing method in advance when purchasing custom furniture, do a good job of budgeting, and avoid spending “money”.

Basic materials

At present, the more common materials on the market are MDF, solid wood particle board, multi-layer solid wood board, etc. MDF has good toughness and convenient shape, and is suitable for making plastic board, baking board, etc. The disadvantage is that the waterproof is poor, and the common one is high. The holding force of the fiberboard and MDF and MDF is relatively weak. The solid wood particle board retains the physical properties of the wood, and is environmentally friendly and has good nail holding power. The disadvantage is that the bending resistance and the tensile strength are poor. The multi-layer solid wood board is made of solid wood veneer or thin-plate adhesive, which has the texture and feel of natural and real wood, and has good structural stability. Pure solid wood panels, ie door panels and cabinets, are solid wood materials, which have good environmental protection and high cost. However, some pure solid wood panels on the market are actually solid wood veneers, and the interior is MDF, which needs to be identified.

At present, the industry standard divides wood products into three grades of E0, E1 and E2 according to the formaldehyde emission content. E0 grade refers to the formaldehyde emission amount of 0.5mg/L, and E1 grade refers to the formaldehyde emission amount of 0.5mg-1.5mg/L, E2. Grade means that the amount of formaldehyde released is greater than 1.5 mg/L. During the visit, the reporter found that most of the custom-made furniture that is currently sold is E0 and E1, and the E2 grade material has long been abandoned. If it is purely from the point of view of formaldehyde release, the environmental index of pure solid wood board and multi-layer solid wood board is better than that of solid wood particle board, followed by MDF, but it is also necessary to consider the paint problem to be used in solid wood products, because the paint itself is also Contains harmful substances such as VOC and formaldehyde.

Valuation method

The reporter visited and learned that the cabinets on the market are generally deferred in the form of meters, and beyond the basic specifications, additional fees are required. This method is mainly to split the cabinet into three parts: the cabinet, the countertop and the hanging cabinet. The total price is calculated according to the “Yanmi unit price extension meter + additional cost”.

The custom-made wardrobe is mainly based on the area of ​​the unfolded area. The pricing method of the unfolded area is to completely split the structure of the wardrobe, and divide the partition, the backboard and related hardware accessories into the area and unit price, and finally add up. A cabinet of one size has a corresponding quotation, and the price is clear. However, according to the pricing method of the expanded area, after the accurate size and internal structure are given, the design can be determined to make an accurate budget quotation. Otherwise, there may be a gap between the budget and the actual price, and some gaps may even reach thousands or even thousands of dollars.

In addition, some merchants use the method of pricing by the projected area. That is, according to the projected area of ​​the front of the wardrobe (ie the length of the wardrobe), the calculation of the depth (width), such calculation method generally has certain restrictions on the length, width and height of the customized furniture, and the internal structure generally has a fixed standard. Generally, it has been equipped with basic folding area, hanging area, clothes pole, hardware and so on. For the thickness of the board, the merchant will also have a fixed configuration, such as the fixed use of 18mm sheet, the height of the cabinet is 2m, the length is 1.5m, the width is 60cm, and the price is increased beyond the fixed standard configuration.

It is relatively simple to calculate according to the projected area. If the consumer only needs custom furniture with fixed structure and size, you may choose this pricing method. But if the consumer needs to change the material or size for additional configuration, it may pay a higher price.

Consumption attention

1

The reporter learned from all the brands visited that almost all brands will not charge additional installation fees for the installation of custom furniture. When the customized products have not been produced yet, if the consumers need to modify the design, they will not charge the so-called The design modification fee, because some consumers have reported that they have received the design fee for the change, it is recommended to indicate this in the contract. If there are doubts or concerns about the total price, the salesperson may be required to list a detailed list of custom furniture dimensions, internal structures, materials, and hardware, and write out the types of materials, colors, and after-sales for comparison.

2

The proportion of hardware accessories in custom furniture may be small, but the comfort brought by the hardware during the use of the furniture affects the daily use. Many consumers will focus on selecting plates and shapes, but neglecting the choice of hardware. It is recommended to ask about the quality of hardware when purchasing, and choose hardware with high strength, wear resistance and low noise. General custom furniture business cabinet warranty for 3 years or 5 years, there will be a business to tell the hardware warranty is a lifetime, but the concept of lifetime warranty is after 3 or 5 years, consumers need to pay for repair, Instead of free replacement, if you are instructed to replace the repair for life, you can ask for it in the contract.

Custom furniture should be based on practicality. Don't think that the manufacturer is professional. Sometimes it should be planned according to the characteristics of the members. If families with children should choose drawers with damping, the height of each family member will be different. It is recommended to measure the length of the clothes of different members of the family, and then design the wardrobe hanging area. In the production of the shoe cabinet, the design space of the boots and the large size shoes should be left to avoid the waste of space.
