The reader, Miss He, recently encountered a confusing thing when buying solid wood composite flooring: several kinds of flooring wood are related to "red sandalwood", but they are different, such as "red sandalwood" and "nanyang red sandalwood" , "red sandalwood", "red sandalwood" and so on. The salesman could not explain clearly, so she turned to the editorial department of the journal for help. I hope the experts can help her answer the doubts in her heart. The reporter's investigation found that similar phenomena are not uncommon in the market. Experts said that these are the non-standard names of wood. In order to self-lift their prices, many wood labels for furniture and flooring are often “Climbing Dragonsâ€, which consumers need when purchasing. Pay more attention to it, lest you buy a bargain at a high price.
â– Market survey
Commonly known as mixed name is still more common
The reporter learned that as early as the end of 2009, the Beijing Municipal Administration of Industry and Commerce had already done a market rectification for the problem of non-standard names in the market. Since then, the market has been relatively standardized, and brand merchants will mark the surface of the floor and The material of the substrate, but the reporter recently visited the market and found that some brand players are still playing "word games."
In a brand store in the East Fourth Ring Road, the reporter visited a number of floor stores as consumers. The reporter saw that most brand sellers will fill in the core material and surface material according to the uniform price requirements of the store. However, in the face material, there are also some businesses that only identify "common name."
In a floor shop, the reporter found that the names of many woods are very familiar, such as "huanghua pear", "red chicken wings", "red sandalwood" and so on. The reporter consulted what the "red chicken wings" is, and the salesperson said, "is the African chicken wing wood." On the product promotion page of the brand, the reporter also saw different wood names such as “coffee black wingsâ€, “African chicken wingsâ€, “classic red wings†and “red chicken wingsâ€. From the picture point of view, these wood patterns have A little bit different, the colors are different. The other two woods with similar colors are “red sandalwood†and “small red sandalwoodâ€, while “nanyang red sandalwood†and “dand sandalwood†appear in another brand floor store.
Subsequently, the reporter’s doubts were confirmed by experts in the industry. These “names†on the price tag and the product roster are “common namesâ€, which are “non-standard namesâ€, and some “even common names are not countedâ€. It is "manufactured by the merchant."
Self-lifting price has a high trick
It has been observed that some merchants will identify the canonical name of the wood, but in addition to the ordinary "eucalyptus" and "eucalyptus" floors, the wood names of most products are more or less prefixed, and with the prefix, the wood appears " Noble" a lot. Some merchants have added a lot of modifiers to the flooring category, such as "dark rosewood oak", "walnut red oak", "chicken wing wood white oak", etc., adding a lot of "precious" colors to ordinary oak. More merchants added the origin and adjectives in front of the wood to blur the wood itself. Take a brand of "Teak" series as an example, "African teak", "Mediterranean teak", "Aristocratic teak", "rich teak", "Pomelo king", "Yellow teak"... a wide variety of people are suspicious: Are these all teak? Is there a difference? At the time of purchase, consumers can only listen to the salesperson's commentary. There are also some merchants that have indicated the series to the products, such as “Binzhou Sunshine×××â€, “Emperor’s Wind×××â€, “Pearl White×××â€, “Royal Classic×××â€, etc. The identification of the person increases the difficulty.
Consumers who do not have the expertise of wood generally cannot tell which one is “common name†and which is “scientific nameâ€. Is there any way to distinguish it? Sun Shudong said that the scientific names of some woods are transliterated from Latin. Relatively speaking, "more strange." In addition, if the name given to the wood by the merchant is "country, place name or color", then the consumer is best to ask what the standard name of the wood is.
To avoid confusion when problems arise, experts recommend that consumers require merchants to write the canonical name in the contract, write the Latin terminology of the wood (international common name) or follow the "China's main timber name" standard and "China's main imported wood name" The Chinese name specified in the standard is used to protect the rights and interests of the material due to disputes.
â– Buy vigilance risk
Why do merchants do not use the standard name of wood? Sun Shudong, director of the Furniture Inspection Office of the National Furniture and Indoor Environmental Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, said, “In the 1980s and 1990s, due to the inability of domestic timber to meet the needs of domestic production, many woods from Africa Imported in Latin America, Southeast Asia, etc. Some of them are wood that are not available in China. At the time, there were no relevant regulations. Some merchants used various similarities according to the similarity between the pattern and the existing wood.†It is understood that consumers are Some of the various names seen in the market belong to the common name used nowadays, while others belong to the merchants "taken for the concept of speculation", so the situation of labeling irregularities and confusing to confuse the audiovisual does happen from time to time. This also brings certain risks to the purchase of consumers.
Imposter
Because the name is commonly used or the name of the merchant, the consumers themselves have no way to distinguish the authenticity of the material. In addition, consumers are more vigilant that some bad businesses will make similar wood in a similar name. The floor or furniture is sold to consumers at a high price, such as the southwest birch is confused with the cherry wood by the name of “domestic cherry wood†or “cherry woodâ€; and the furniture material with a price of 20,000 yuan or 30,000 yuan is “belonging to the rosewoodâ€. "African Pear", but "African Pear" is not a canonical name. It can only rely on tree species identification to identify identity. Whether it is a rosewood is not known.
2. With false realities
"Because of the common name, it also gives some opportunities for wood to be fake." Sun Shudong introduced that the common name of Oakwood from Africa is "red walnut", and some people call it "peach core." Some merchants will also refer to the "human face" and "cano paint" with similar colors as "walnut" to achieve the purpose of "fake the real thing."
3. Transfer flowers
In addition, the accuracy of the name is not negligible to consumers. Sun Shudong introduced that in general, "walnut" corresponds to "black walnut", while the domestic name of "chicken" should be "walnut" or "walnut". If consumers buy "black walnut", they must not ignore the word "black", otherwise they may change from "black walnut" to "eucalyptus". In addition, "rubber wood" and "oak" are only one word difference, and some salesmen will be vaguely introduced during sales. Consumers need to be wary of "small flowers".
