1. "Fudge" first trick: material trap

“A lot of consumers look at cabinets. In fact, they look at the cabinet doors.” An industry source told reporters that most consumers choose cabinets, and one opening is to “crystal plates”, “baking plates” or “solid wood plates”. Is the cabinet door. “The door panel is important, and the box board is actually more important.” The reporter’s unannounced visit found that the Changzhou cupboard market is currently using a relatively wide range of paint door panels. Painted board is characterized by bright color and easy to shape, waterproof performance, anti-pollution can also prevent scratches, but the price is higher. The reporter saw a cabinet with a crystal door in a cupboard shop in our city. The shape was three-dimensional and the appearance was exquisite. The salesman introduced the door panel of this material was beautiful and durable, and it was very cheap. Now it is very popular.

In another well-known brand cabinet store, the reporter asked Crystal door, immediately attracted the salesman's derogatory eyes, "crystal plate you think that good, a year or two on the Alice, are out of style!" Cabinet door pattern also Not only that, but the reporter soon discovered that, compared with the door panels, cabinet panels that are not valued by consumers are actually more important. The box board bears the functions of waterproof, anti-mildew, and load-bearing. However, because it is concealed in the door panel, it is generally not valued by consumers. Some dealers often use high-priced door panels with cheap box boards to report the so-called “expensive prices” and “concessionary prices.” In fact, these inferior boxboards often take a long time to soak in water, mold, and consumers are disadvantaged.

The thickest pattern is the countertop. The reporter found that the counter brands on the market were mixed, and the concept of playfulness abounded. Take the most popular "acrylic" artificial stone countertops as an example, from 500 yuan / m - 3,000 yuan / m can buy, insiders revealed that cheap artificial stone is best not to buy, mostly with inferior resin plus carbonic acid Made of calcium, smoothness, wear-resistant degree is not to say, some products even contain substances harmful to the human body, so buy "artificial stone" countertops must understand the "acrylic" content.

2. "Fudge" second stroke: steal concept

When the cabinet dealers sell their products, they can do everything they can to boast of their products, and the concept of stealing confuses consumers. In an unannounced interview, the reporter discovered that the most popular “Fuzheng language” on the cabinet market in Changzhou is “from a foreign design concept”. The "idea" that cannot be seen invisible is not only to allow consumers to look at it, but also to increase product quality virtually.

What is designed using "ideas" is imported goods? In a high-end cabinet store known as the National Chain Store, when the reporter entered the door, the two salesmen surrounded him with a smile. They saw the reporter's doubts about the Italian trademark at the entrance, and a salesman said firmly: “We The cabinets were designed with the Italian concept and European style. Many of the components were imported.” After further understanding, the reporter discovered that this cabinet is actually a cabinet manufacturer in Guangdong and the designers are all Chinese. The so-called “imports” The "components" are actually produced by joint venture factories in Guangdong.

The reporter found that a brand cabinet uses a “fire board” for the selection of door material. The reporter and the salesman had only learned that the fireproofing board itself could not be completely fireproof, but the fireproofing performance was better, and to a certain extent, there was a flame retardant effect, and the effect lasted for a few minutes. In the same way, the "waterproof board" can only be lightly dampened. The "title" of the door material by the sellers undoubtedly exaggerates the material function.

In terms of environmental indicators that consumers are concerned about, many cabinet makers will put “E0” and “E1” logos on prominent positions. This is an indication of what level of national standard the formaldehyde emission of the product has reached. According to industry insiders, China’s current maximum standard for formaldehyde in furniture, flooring, and other wood products is “E1”, the national standard for cabinet products is “E2”, and some high-end products are “E1”. Because it does not contain green moisture-proof agents and adhesives, it is easily broken by moisture. “E0” grade sheet is not suitable for making cabinets in a humid environment.

In another store, the clerk strongly recommended to reporters a Korean import countertop, but after the reporter took the manual and discovered that the place of production was marked in Qingdao, the clerk explained before this: “Our company is headquartered in Qingdao, and the origin can only be labeled as head office. Where Qingdao is located, the countertop material is indeed imported.” But when the reporter “really asked” to ask for a customs declaration, the clerk finally admitted that it was “the best countertop in the country, which is basically comparable to the import”.

Almost all the cabinets advertise that they are using imported hardware accessories such as “blum”, but reporters and shop staff have learned after talking. In fact, these hardware accessories have factories in China, and manufacturers in order to reduce costs, in addition to a few A first-line brand and the manufacturer signed a use agreement, will use the original imported parts, most will still choose to replace the domestic pieces, still "imported hardware" to flicker consumers. The two brands are almost identical in appearance and appearance, and they are installed inside the cabinets, making them less likely to be discovered by consumers. When choosing cabinets, consumers should not ignore small hinges. It is best to specify when signing a contract.

3. "Fudge" 3rd trick: more certification patterns

Some of the environmental inspection certificates provided by cabinet merchants are mostly local board inspection reports, or environmental product recommendation certificates issued by certain associations and institutions. Overall, there are many kinds of certifications, but there is basically no unified certification of authoritative departments. Industry sources said that in the face of a large number of shiny bronze medals hanging on the wall, consumers will basically not go "more true."

Informed sources said that although cabinet companies have played environmental protection cards, they have not received much recognition from the authoritative department. There are no shortages of companies that use fake environmental protection to flicken consumers. It is understood that the environmental protection certification of cabinet products currently on the market is only certified by the China Environmental Labelling Center certified by the Environmental Protection Center of the State Environmental Protection Administration, which is often referred to as the “Ten-ring Certification” and is currently the more authoritative green mark. . Products that are approved to use this mark not only require quality, but also comply with specific environmental protection requirements during production, use, and disposal. Compared with similar products, they have environmental advantages such as low toxicity, less harm, and resource conservation.

4. "Fudge" fourth trick: install hidden secrets

First-line cabinet brands often provide a full set of design and installation services. Merchants will send staff to measure the relevant dimensions and invite professional designers to design them. Generally, they can be installed in the field in about one month. After the cabinets are installed, consumers should carry out corresponding inspections, such as: whether the surface of the cabinet has scratches, bumps, cracks, etc., whether there is any change in the overall installation position, whether there is tilting after the combination of cabinets, countertops, and hanging cabinets. There is no gap between the cabinet and the cabinet, and there is no leakage in the drain pipe or sink. When checking, it should be carefully checked against the contract and design drawings so as to avoid unclear problems later discovered.

In addition to the above four common scams, we must pay attention to the current characteristics of young people when choosing cabinets:

Trap 1: Pursue the brand

After 80 is a generation of chasing licenses, so in the eyes of the 80, the regular brand of cabinets is very easy to get favor, after all, the brand means that there is a good quality and good after-sales service. However, we cannot blindly believe that “we are cooperating with a certain big brand, and its material is the same” as the merchant declares, after all, we cannot examine its authenticity.

Corrective measures:

It does not matter what brand you choose. The most important thing is to look at the quality. Good cabinets can identify whether the craftsmanship is exquisite through plate, table top, drilling, edge sealing and other detailed points. Details such as hanging cabinets, front panel reinforcements and other details are also very important, and the life of cabinets is often determined by these details. . So after 80 purchase must shop around than the details.

Trap II: Appearance Association

80 after shopping, usually from a dazzling array of cabinets, choose a favorite, watch the most comfortable orders, do not know, after the completion of the renovation, cabinet style and home improvement style difference, and regret.

Corrective measures:

Although some kitchen cabinets look good, they must consider whether or not they are suitable for their own kitchen. In order to meet the needs of the premise, the style of the cabinet as far as possible to consider the overall home style, so as not to damage the whole, so you need to analyze in advance which one is your favorite and suitable for home style.

Trap 3: Avant-garde brunt

After 80s, the house is no more than a luxury home, it is a dwelling life, so for the first time home buyers, the kitchen space is limited, but due to excessive consideration of color, avant-garde and exaggerated shape, often overlook the storage function of the cabinet, so live As it grew, more and more things were stacked on the cabinet top so that the stylish look was completely covered.

Remedy

The kitchen is a place where all kinds of pots, small household appliances, staple grains, various tableware, knives, condiments, etc. are stored. If too much consideration is given to aesthetics, space is wasted and there is a lot of inconvenience in the future. The style of the selected cabinet should ensure that the storage function is the premise, and then consider beauty.

Trap 4: "Environmental Protection" Certification

The slogan of green environmental protection has been deeply rooted in people's minds, especially when buying home building materials. We will definitely ask whether it is an environmentally friendly product. Shopping guides will also use "environmental protection," "E0 cabinets," and "collision bars to avoid formaldehyde emissions." "This kind of term guarantees the quality of our products, so we are assured of bold purchases. We don't know that most of these businesses are hype, the purpose is to allow consumers to fall into the "concept trap" of environmental protection.

Corrective measures:

"100% environmental protection cabinet" is actually very difficult to do, cabinet environmental protection is a comprehensive concept. Whether the cabinets are environmentally friendly is related to the environmental performance of the panels, the processing technology, the worker's installation technology, the design of the cabinets of the company, the decoration of the kitchen, and the configuration of the cabinets. Whether it can effectively avoid the kitchen fume pollution, light pollution, noise pollution and so on.
