A small label hanging on a furniture product could have clearly told consumers the price, material, place of origin, and date of production. However, the labels of furniture are varied, and the labels of different stores and brands are different. Either the labels are not clear or the items are not complete. Some consumers tend to "be fooled" because they do not pay attention to the information on the label.

When buying furniture, you need to carefully understand the product label

When buying furniture, most consumers simply look at the price on the label. Many consumers think that only the "price" is useful information on the label, and they do not pay attention to the material, place of origin, etc. on the label. Useful information for buying furniture. Mr. Zhou , who is buying furniture, said : "When I buy furniture, I basically don't look at the furniture label. At most, I look at the price. I have never paid attention to other information on the label." Some consumers even said that they often don't look at it. Labels, sometimes even the price is not seen from above, just ask the salesperson directly.

Some consumers are also aware of the importance of reading labels. After all, the above information is very useful for shopping. Some consumers said that they bought a European-style sofa some time ago . The salesperson did not say at the time that the sofa was imported from Italy, only that he thought it was imported from Spain . But when she got home, she discovered that this sofa was not the sofa imported from Spain that she wanted, and felt like she was fooled. Later, she spent a lot of time talking about it. "But when I went to see this furniture store later, I found that the sofa clearly wrote the word" Italy ". I felt very regretful at the time. If I looked at the price tag at that time, I wouldn't be behind Many questions. "

Faced with a variety of labels, if consumers do not pay attention, there is a danger of being deceived. This is because many consumers do not know enough about the relevant product labeling regulations of furniture, and they do not pay enough attention to this detail. On the other hand, because consumers have a fluke mentality, they believe that the sales staff will tell themselves truthfully, but they do not know Sometimes the salesperson will make mistakes because they are not familiar with their products.

The wholesale market is confusing when the furniture store is not clearly marked

Most of the brand stores in the furniture brand store use furniture labels, but the label styles used are not uniform, and the number of items marked on the labels is also different. The main items on the label include product name, product number, specification size, grade, place of origin, material and other information, and the details and description of the two important information of place of origin and material are different. Some furniture brand stores are very professional and detailed in describing materials, and some furniture brand stores are not standardized in the origin logo.

The product labels on the furniture wholesale market are very confusing. In a furniture wholesale market, the label reads Elm pure solid wood furniture . After understanding, it is found that it is solid wood veneer. The first-class product is marked on the label, but it cannot be confirmed by the relevant institutions such as the national inspection center. The label says Italy, the country of origin, but refuses to show the customs declaration or the relevant certificate of the country of origin. There are even more vague statements about filling in solid wood frames, and some companies even fill in the name of the agent at the manufacturer. Many of these various labels are filled in by the manufacturers at random, and some sales staff said that the store did not clearly specify or regulate the labels.

Blurred furniture labels cause shopping disputes

Because of the problem of furniture labeling , Mr. Huang is now "tangled" with the merchants, and he reasonably hopes to get justice. It turned out that on October 20 this year, he bought a set of solid wood furniture in the furniture market to go home. Later, one of his relatives told him that it was not entirely solid wood furniture, and part of it was high-density board. "When buying furniture, the label clearly says solid wood furniture, and the salesperson also told me that it was made of solid wood." Mr. Huang said, is it true that the word "solid wood" on the logo is used to fool consumers. of?

The person in charge of the furniture brand told reporters: "It's not our fault. This set of solid wood furniture is made of 70% solid wood and 30% of plates. According to national standards, it can be called solid wood furniture." The person in charge said, but It is not "all solid wood furniture", and there is nothing wrong on the label. A salesperson at the store told reporters that most of the furniture in their store was wood-panel furniture. In fact, most of the current board-wood combined furniture uses plates in the base material, such as the surface of the table, drawers, side panels, etc., but these furniture can be called solid wood furniture.

Furniture label is an important carrier for consumers to understand the basic situation of the product. A complete label is enough for consumers to see complete information, so as to provide a basis for the final decision. If consumers ignore the content marked on the label, on the one hand, it may be because some items are really difficult to mark, on the other hand, it is hidden mystery. It is that individual merchants deliberately hide the facts that they do not want consumers to make clear by blurring some items. Facing the speculation of businessmen, Mr. Huang could only eat the "bitter fruit" by himself.

Label chaos need to increase enforcement

The label of the furniture store still has a clear identification of the material, origin and other information of the furniture, including some issues that are most likely to cause future disputes, such as whether the sofa is full leather or half leather, whether the furniture is all solid wood or combination of wood and wood, solid wood Skinny, domestic or imported, are clearly marked on the price tag. However, this information is not very detailed in other promotional materials of the merchants, and many misleading descriptions may appear in the promotional materials. For example, many furniture promote themselves as "European and American furniture" and "international furniture", but the actual origin is It's in China. Some furniture advertise themselves as solid wood furniture. The product does look like all solid wood, but it is actually a combination of wood and wood.

In many cases, if the consumer does not ask the sales person about the material and place of origin of the furniture product , the sales person may hide it or use misleading language to explain it. Although not all labels are marked very comprehensively and accurately, for some regular brand stores, the credibility of the labels is still relatively high, which can be used as an important reference information for consumers when purchasing. Consumers' indifference to product labels is also one of the reasons for the lack of market supervision.

Zhu Changling, chairman of the China Furniture Association, said that the national product label has national mandatory standards, and sales of furniture must be implemented, but there is no way to check and deal with, it is difficult to implement, and gaps in the market are inevitable. In addition to the implementation intensity, the label inconsistency is also largely determined by the mall. The regulations of each furniture store and furniture brand store are different, but they all comply with national regulations, so it also leads to the inconsistency of labels. However, as a furniture manufacturer, faithfully indicating the origin, material and other items can reflect the integrity of an enterprise.
