Rosewood furniture prices rise with raw materials
Experts advise: avoid buying "catch up and down" when buying
For the price increase of mahogany raw materials, Li Tianhang, general manager of Huanbei District of Lianhonghong Furniture Co., Ltd., was also very surprised. He told reporters: "The current price is lower than the highest level in 2007, but the price has been rising. The price of red sandalwood has been The price of 200,000 yuan per ton has risen to 5,600,000 yuan per ton, and it is expected to cost 780,000 yuan or even millions of yuan per ton." At present, the more common red rosewood is also priced from 3 tons per ton. Ten thousand yuan rose to 60,000 yuan, and the average material reached 890,000 yuan per ton.
However, inconsistent with the sharp rise in raw material prices, the price of finished mahogany furniture has not increased much. Li Jihang said that from the "May 1" to the present, even the price of Tianhong has undergone more than a dozen adjustments, but the overall increase has remained at around 10%.
Wu Xinjian, president of Jinfei Redwood Furniture, also said that the price of his own mahogany furniture has only increased by 5%-10%. "If the proportion of raw materials rises, the market price of mahogany furniture should rise by about 30%."
In this case, why are manufacturers hard to rise? In this regard, Li Jihang said that due to the new regulation of the property market, the popularity of the mahogany market has been affected to some extent. If the price increase is too large, many consumers may not accept it.
Wu Xinjian believes that the manufacturers do not raise prices is "do not dare to rise", he said: "After the rosewood market is slightly warmed up, many manufacturers have rushed to launch, and some even have not done mahogany furniture, the quality of raw materials used is poor, the process Rough, the price is 20%-30% cheaper than the regular manufacturers, so that regular manufacturers have to squat and not rise."
Some low-priced mahogany furniture not only disrupted the normal price system, but also caused losses to consumers. Wu Xinjian said that those consumers who don’t know much about mahogany furniture are easily replaced by low-cost furniture from small manufacturers. Fudge."
Finished product prices may increase by 20% during the “11†period
Although the current price of mahogany furniture is in a period of slowing down, on the one hand, the price of raw materials soars, and on the other hand, the labor costs skyrocket, and the price of mahogany furniture has to be adjusted to the price.
For the extent of the upward adjustment, Wei Jinpeng, general manager of Zhengyun Classical Furniture, revealed that the price of mahogany furniture during the "11" period may have a large adjustment, reaching about 20%, and many people in the industry also said that the recent achievements of mahogany furniture The pressure for price increases is getting bigger and bigger, and the current price of mahogany furniture is not running at a high level, leaving room for price increases.
Although the mahogany market is brewing a wave of price increases, but merchants have expressed that they do not want prices to skyrocket. In Wei Jinpeng's view, the price surge is not a good thing. He believes that the price surge is likely to attract many small manufacturers to profit in the market, resulting in poor quality. Uneven mahogany furniture in the market.
According to industry insiders, the use of mahogany furniture is gradually expanding, and consumers who are chasing up and down are slowly decreasing. The purchase of mahogany furniture should first focus on its practical functions.
True and false, difficult to identify the mahogany market
Due to the variety of redwoods and the difficulty in identification, the situation of sub-filling in the market is still serious. Li Jiatong, manager of Hongyuxuan Redwood Furniture Factory, told reporters that buying shoddy furniture will bring huge losses to consumers, such as some The manufacturer will dye the red rosewood new material and pretend to be the red rosewood old material, and use the grass rosewood to impersonate the straight pear, which is several times different from the genuine price.
The more common chicken wing wood on the market can be divided into Burmese chicken wing wood and African chicken wing wood from the place of origin. The price difference between the two can reach two-thirds, but some manufacturers will not tell consumers the origin of chicken wing wood. If the consumer "does not know how to do it", it is very difficult to separate the two kinds of chicken wings.
The reporter also found in a mahogany store that some mahogany furniture of the same material and shape is quite far away. Li Jihang said that due to the different raw material purchase channels, labor costs and crafts of various manufacturers, the price of mahogany furniture will have a large gap. In order to reduce consumers' doubts about prices, Tianhong currently sells mahogany furniture in a “price-based†manner.
The reporter saw in the shop of Lian Tianhong that in the price list of mahogany furniture, the price per kilogram of various mahogany furniture such as red sandalwood, red rosewood and chicken wing wood was marked, and the unit price per kilogram was multiplied by the weight of the furniture, which is the final Total price. And this method of selling furniture by weight, whether it can play the role of transparent mahogany furniture price and standard price system remains to be tested by the market.
Industry perspective
Type, art, and material can not be less
Yang Jiayu, the first drafter of the national "Redwood" standard
Type, art and material directly determine the pros and cons of mahogany furniture. “Type†is the shape, “Art†is the craft, and “Material†is the material. The former two account for 70% of the price of mahogany furniture, while the materials account for 30%. Therefore, when buying mahogany furniture, it is important to focus on the shape and craftsmanship of the furniture.
The surface of a good quality mahogany furniture should be smooth and delicate. The patina of the mahogany furniture can be felt by careful touch. When buying, be sure to ask the sales staff about the production process and styling characteristics of the furniture. The quality of the mahogany furniture is high. Warm, work hard.
When signing the purchase contract, the merchant shall promise to guarantee the material of the mahogany furniture, and the manufacturer shall clearly indicate the type of the mahogany in the contract and stipulate the liquidated damages.
Redwood can be divided into rosewood, fragrant wood, black rosewood, red rosewood, wenge, rosewood, ebony, and striped ebony, so mahogany furniture should belong to these eight species.
Also worth noting is the “white label†of mahogany, also known as “sapwoodâ€. In general, mahogany does not contain sapwood, especially where the furniture can be seen by the naked eye, and no "white label" can appear. If a "white mark" appears in a corner that is invisible to the furniture, it cannot exceed 10% of the area of ​​the location.
Choosing mahogany first selects "model"
Wei Jinpeng, General Manager of Zhengyun Classical Furniture
Mahogany furniture is a work of art, so the "model" must be positive. This way, even if it is not a valuable material, it also has room for appreciation.
The craftsmanship and styling of mahogany furniture are divided into the north and south factions. The "Jing Zuo" is domineering and solemn, the "Su Zuo" is small and exquisite, and the "Guang Zuo" is rough and unrestrained. The characteristics of each faction are very different, and the interiors are placed and decorated. different. Therefore, before buying mahogany furniture, you should understand the characteristics of various factions and look at the styles and styles that you like.
Authentic Ming and Qing old style furniture is not difficult to identify, through the professional classical mahogany furniture map can be very clear. Some consumers tend to be more impatient. When they enter the store, they only care about materials and prices. In fact, different shapes and processes will have an important impact on prices. For example, the carving on the armrest of the palace chair, the difference between the machine carving and the artificial carving is obvious, and the price is also very different.
Therefore, consumers should not blindly start to buy furniture, it is best to calm down in the furniture store to slowly taste.
Really worthy of collection of mahogany furniture must be positive, good, and craftsmanship, and finally buy materials according to their own budget.
