The oak furniture bought in the city turned out to be a rubber wood

<

Citizen Yu Li was quite upset recently, and bought a set of Xianghe bedroom furniture for 7,000 yuan. Yu Li thought it was cheap, but invited woodworker to find out that she actually bought "rubber wood" furniture.



Did you buy oak or rubber wood for 7000 yuan?

In a building materials and furniture city in Ganjingzi District, Yu Li bought this set of "cheap oak furniture". "The merchant said that this is a set of oak furniture, with good materials and cheap prices, as long as 7000 yuan." Yu Li said that with her knowledge of furniture materials, she felt that "it was cheap to pick up." Although the request to view the furniture manual and material certificate was rejected by the store. But considering the price factor, Yu Li finally bought the furniture.

But this set of "light oak furniture" has been questioned by many experts. "When a carpenter came to my house, he said that this set of 'oak furniture' was rough in workmanship, and the texture was also problematic. He said it might be rubber wood, not oak." Yu Li invited many carpenters to come to the house to appraise. "People say that if this set of furniture is really made of oak, it must sell at least 15,000 yuan. 7000 yuan can't be bought at all!" She found a business for this, but the other party insisted that she was selling oak furniture.

Recently, the reporter saw at this furniture booth that the same furniture that Yu Li bought was still selling well. "We are oak furniture." The staff said. The reporter pointed out that the material looks like rubber wood, and the business responded unchanged, saying that rubber wood and oak are actually the same series of wood. "Together referred to as oak." Although the name differs, the price difference is doubled

Although the name is only a word, is oak and rubber wood really "the same series" of wood? Manager Sun of a large home plaza in Xigang District said that oak and rubber wood are completely two kinds of wood. "The common oak in the market is usually oak, and oak is commonly known." Manager Sun said that oak is mostly produced in the cold regions of the northern hemisphere, mostly in North America and Russia. Mainly white oak and red oak. The rubber wood is tropical and subtropical wood, mostly produced in Thailand and other places. "The texture and price of the two are very different. The price of rubber wood is about 4,000 yuan per cubic meter, and the price of oak is as high as 8,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan."

Although the name is different, the price is more than doubled.

When interviewing some building materials and furniture markets in our city, the reporter found that it is not uncommon to slap the two in a sloppy way. A building materials market near Wuyi Road. A staircase and floor seller put a "Thai Oak" label on their goods. "We are oak, but only from Thailand." The sales staff said. When the reporter pointed out that Thailand does not produce oak at all, she admitted that it was actually “rubber wood”. But the sales staff still emphasized: "Oak and rubber wood is a kind of wood."

The reporter learned before the press release that after the coordination of the industry and commerce department, Yu Li ’s furniture-purchasing merchants had returned the goods and compensated her for 1,000 yuan in losses. The reporter learned from the city's quality supervision department that the testing agency has not yet identified the relevant standards for oak and rubber wood. Manager Sun reminded that the main ways to distinguish between these two types of wood furniture and building materials are as follows.

As for some consumers' saying that "oak is hard and rubber is soft", Manager Sun thinks it is a misunderstanding. "Oaks have different varieties, and the density varies greatly. The density of rubber wood is about 0.72, and the density of oak is about 0.78. The difference is not big." He said that the most intuitive way to judge is price. "Too cheap oak furniture should be purchased carefully."
