Raw material prices continue to rise, solid wood furniture prices are still stable

Last year, due to the rising wages and various timber prices, the price of solid wood furniture with wood as the main raw material also sang all the way, although it was far less than the price increase of more than 80% of high-end rosewood such as huanghuali, red sandalwood and Siamese rosewood, but the increase More than 20%, however, with the continued deepening of the property market regulation, the weakening of practical and investment demand, the trend of solid wood furniture prices this year is quite subtle.

Last year's increase of two to three percent

Compared with the skyrocketing of high-end mahogany furniture, the price of solid wood rose last year was relatively mild. Zhao Ge, general manager of Meikemeijiadian System, told reporters that the increase of Meikemeijia solid wood furniture last year was only similar to the increase of CPI.

However, when visiting the major stores, the reporter found that although the price increase of the major brands of solid wood furniture was not large, due to the reduction of the discount rate, in fact, the increase of solid wood furniture last year was about 20%, and the increase rate of some brands. Up to 30%.

The price is stable this year.

What is the price trend of solid wood furniture this year? Sun Xiaozhou, chairman of Beijing Familiao Home Furnishing Co., Ltd. said that solid wood furniture enterprises are “resource-consumption”, while China’s restrictions on forestry resources are limited, so the proportion of domestically imported furniture and timber is rising every year. For example, the ash that is commonly used in domestic furniture is mainly imported from Russia. “Things are rare,” which determines that the price of solid wood is definitely bullish in the long run.

According to the survey, the amount of precious wood used in China's solid wood furniture market far exceeds the total amount of trees in China. In order to protect forest resources, China's forestry departments have increasingly stricted the inspection of felling, and the channels for importing logs from China have also been accompanied by major timber. Producing countries have been blocked by increasing restrictions. At present, the supply of logs in China is very tight, and the prices of raw materials have skyrocketed. Some solid wood furniture has reached the situation that “the clever woman is difficult to be without rice”, so it is quite common to use poor wood as the furniture frame and then attach the high-quality solid wood skin. .

Raw material prices may continue to rise, but the weak demand also makes manufacturers of solid wood furniture dare not raise prices. The trend of solid wood furniture prices in 2012, Zhao Ge said, should not decline.
