In recent years, the price of mahogany furniture has been rising almost every year, and more and more consumers are buying mahogany furniture as an investment method. Therefore, in order to pursue greater profits, some merchants have started their hands on the materials and structure of mahogany furniture, resulting in a large number of inferior furniture entering the market.
Redwood furniture fraud
Materials:
False materials, spikes are still common
The high price of mahogany furniture is largely determined by its precious materials. The raw materials of redwood, such as red sandalwood, huanghuali, and red rosewood, have risen in price in recent years. Some redwood merchants have used the raw materials to reduce the production cost.
The most common is to use a material similar in color and pattern to pretend to be a real mahogany. Fu Junmin, general manager of Xuanming's classical furniture, told reporters that some merchants will not use fake materials completely to reduce risks, but will incorporate fake materials into the real materials, making people "true and difficult to distinguish."
Taking red sandalwood as an example, the real rosewood on the market is very rare. The “Kotan†from Côte d'Ivoire is close to the red sandalwood in color and pattern, so it is blended into the rosewood by some merchants to make the ultimate expensive rosewood furniture. .
Red rosewood has become the "new darling" of the mahogany market in recent years, and its spike phenomenon is also very serious. Southeast Asia's "flowering branches", Panama and Mexico's "dimple Dalbergia" are close to red rosewood in material density, texture and oiliness, and are heavily incorporated into real red rosewood raw materials.
Phase:
"Grinding" furniture is difficult to distinguish
Different from the material identifiable, the falsification of the merchant on the mahogany *** almost makes the consumer unrecognizable. Experts say that the fraud in the process is more deceptive. For example, the colored furniture that was previously exposed by the media is to color the mahogany furniture to cover up the flaws of the furniture itself, and to make the furniture look attractive. Consumers want to see the real material unless the paint film is worn away.
Now, in the production of mahogany, there is a more insidious way of fraud - rubber grinding. Experts told reporters that rubber furniture is not waxed or painted, and it is almost the same as "white enamel" furniture. Nowadays, in order to check the authenticity of materials, many consumers often ask the merchant not to carry out any treatment on the surface of the furniture. Waxing or lacquering, but with the technique of grinding, the "white enamel" furniture is not insured.
The method of using the rubber grinding is to cover up the problem of using white skin, patching and drying. The whole process of rubber grinding is very simple. It is glued when grinding, and then polished hard. It is repeatedly manipulated two or three times to let the glue penetrate into the furniture. In order to cover the white skin or the compound, it will be colored before the rubber grinding. .
The rubberized furniture can be almost fake in the appearance, and some mahogany furniture even has a "pasting" luster. In fact, the rubber grinding is extremely damaging to the furniture. Since the glue contains a large amount of formaldehyde and benzene, these harmful substances penetrate the wood and cannot be volatilized within a few years, which is extremely harmful to the human body.
After the glue blocks the pores of the furniture, the moisture in the furniture cannot be volatilized. Even if the material is not dried, the furniture will not crack in the years before use. However, the stability of the furniture will be greatly affected and the time will not be affected. repair. At the same time, mahogany furniture with blocked pores cannot produce a pulp.
Structure: æ¦«å¯ structure cut corner
The enamel structure allows the mahogany furniture to be firmly combined without a nail and a rivet, but now some merchants cut corners on the sputum structure in order to reduce the labor and materials, and even use glue and nails to connect. It can't be repaired at all, so that the high-priced purchase of mahogany furniture becomes a pile of waste.
Hope that friends who love mahogany furniture, read our reports can be vigilant and cautious to buy!
