Furniture customization, pay attention to the pitfalls?

The following pitfalls should be noted when it comes to furniture customization:

Trap 1: The pricing model is boring.

It is understood that the pricing model of customized furniture is generally as follows: the actual use of materials Unit price + main accessories cost = total price. Some custom furniture store salespeople often only tell consumers about the amount of materials used per square meter.

When making a wardrobe, metal fasteners, rails, hinges, etc. for installing shelves are charged separately. If you install a sliding door, the price of the door and the sliding track will be charged separately. If consumers don't ask clearly, only calculate according to the amount of materials used**, and the wardrobe will definitely exceed the budget.

Pitfall 2: The material usage algorithm is different.

The main cost of custom furniture is the main material. Also taking the custom whole wardrobe as an example, many people think that the amount of materials used is the area after it is done.

If the overall wardrobe is a total of 3 square meters, I think that the unit price of the material is directly multiplied by the main material, but it ignores the area of the material used in the shelf and shelf. Generally, the use of customized products, especially customized furniture materials, should be counted as area, not the overall area.

Trap 3: It is difficult to judge product quality.

The samples provided by customized products are distinguished by raw materials, and the sliding doors of the same specification are different from more than 4,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan, and it is difficult for consumers to distinguish the difference between each material. If the manufacturer is shoddy and cuts corners in the production process, it is difficult for consumers to find out.

Furniture customization is recommended to choose big brand customization. Sophia, for example, is good. Sophia Home Furnishing Co., Ltd. is a company mainly engaged in the research and development, production and sales of custom cabinets, cabinets, wooden doors, flooring, supporting hardware, furniture and household products, and customized bulk business.

Sophia was born in France in 1981 and introduced to China in 2001, with customized wardrobes as its flagship products, providing wardrobes, cabinets, wooden doors, furniture and household products. At present, there are more than 4,000 full-category stores, covering 1,800 cities and regions across the country.

Oak is oak. Rubberwood is rubberwood. Don't mislead consumers into saying that rubberwood is simply oak.

Rubberwood is mainly produced in Southeast Asia, and oak is mainly produced in North America and Northern Europe. Rubberwood costs about 5,500 yuan a cube, while oak costs about 8,000 yuan. How can the two be comparable?

There are also particle boards, multi-layer boards, and ecological boards. Which is better? Don't listen to other people.

Go to a professional and large home building materials mall and take a look at the big brands are using particle board to make cabinets. Including VIFA (Weifa) 8000 yuan a square cabinet, the cabinet board is also a particle board. Actions speak louder than words.

Market share is the most powerful proof of this.

The boards used in custom wardrobes are mostly MDF and solid wood particle board. However, for the average consumer, it is difficult to distinguish the difference between each material. If the manufacturer is shoddy and cut corners in the production process, it is difficult to find.

Doing tricks on the measuring stick is a common trick used by many unscrupulous businesses, especially when calculating by area, three or five items are added so much, and the complex algorithm can easily confuse you.

Anyway, I know that custom furniture is expensive, several times more expensive than finished furniture!

There is a quality problem with custom furniture, a friend two months ago, in the furniture store customized wardrobes, desks and other seven sets of furniture, unexpectedly, the customized bedside table and the wall are not attached, can not be installed at all; The wardrobe board has problems such as bursting, scratching, and cracking.

The customized office pricing model is boring.

The pricing model of customized furniture is: actual unit price of use + cost of main accessories = total price. However, when the salesperson is in the first place, he often only tells the consumer to use the ** per square meter, and when making the wardrobe, the metal fasteners, tracks, hinges, etc. of the shelves are charged separately.

In this case, if the consumer does not ask clearly, only calculate based on the materials used**, and the result will definitely exceed the budget.

At present, there is no standard for custom wardrobes, and the self-agreement between manufacturers and consumers is still based on materials, environmental protection, and self-agreement. Due to information asymmetry, once you don't pay attention, you may fall into the misunderstanding of custom furniture, so that you have to pay more out of your pocket.

The algorithm for the amount of custom furniture materials used is different.

Take the customized overall wardrobe as an example, many people think that the amount of materials used is the area after the completion, if the overall wardrobe is a total of 3 square meters, thinking that the unit price of the material is directly multiplied by the main material, but ignoring the area of the material used in the shelf and shelf. In general, the amount of materials used for customized products should be calculated according to the area.

The main thing is the choice of materials, because there are a lot of cats on it, and people who don't know how to be deceived are easy to be deceived.

At present, the market lacks the corresponding standards and management specifications for custom wardrobes, such as hand-painted furniture, old furniture, etc., are highly personalized custom products, consumers in the choice to buy, must ask the sales staff to list a detailed list of furniture size, internal structure, materials, hardware, and on quality, color difference, after-sales and other issues and merchants clearly agreed, and written into the contract, in this way, can effectively restrain the business opportunistic and irresponsible behavior.

In recent years, custom furniture in the furniture market has been unanimously welcomed by the majority of consumers, the emergence of custom furniture has also brought the gospel to the majority of consumers, on the one hand, the finished furniture on the market has increasingly not been able to meet the individual needs of consumers, on the other hand, consumers also need to choose the most suitable furniture for the decoration of their homes, so when choosing custom furniture, what aspects need to be paid attention to?

1. Pay attention to brand. There are always many brands in the custom furniture market, and the quality is also uneven, so what should we pay attention to when choosing a brand? Try to choose a well-known brand, well-known brand franchisee outlets are numerous, after-sales guarantee also pays more attention to the development of the brand, once there is any after-sales problem, we will do our best to solve it.

2. The environmental protection of the board, in the choice of custom furniture, in addition to paying attention to the brand, should also consider the environmental protection of the board, most of the custom furniture boards on the market are MDF, solid wood boards, particle boards and Hexiang boards, etc., due to the fact that particle boards are affordable and environmentally friendly, they are usually the main products on the market. Most of the particle boards have met the formaldehyde emission standard of the European standard (referred to as the European standard) E0 level. At present, the "European standard E0 level" on the market refers to the formaldehyde emission is less than the formaldehyde emission standard, while the formaldehyde emission standard enforced by the state is E1 level, and the formaldehyde emission is less than that.

3. The choice of accessories hardware, hardware accessories are the priority issues to be considered when purchasing custom furniture, and high-quality hardware accessories are not easy to rust and damage. At present, most of the professional brands use Blum parts imported from Austria, and there are also some domestic accessories, which are different. Therefore, when choosing, you should communicate with the merchant according to your own requirements, and you should also beware of the merchant replacing the imported hardware with domestic accessories.

4. The layout of the space. When choosing custom furniture, an excellent designer is also crucial, consumers need to be based on the actual use of the home in a limited space, how to reasonably plan the space environment of storage, leisure and living, rather than the cabinet to do as much as possible. It should be both functional and comfortable.

5. Calculation of costs. In addition to the focus on products and quality and quality, consumers are probably most concerned about **. At present, the main charging principle of the custom furniture market is generally calculated according to the projection area or area.

Door panels, drawers, hardware and accessories are charged separately, some are calculated according to the area of the whole house, consumers can compare a few, do not be greedy for cheap, on the basis of the same plate and hardware accessories to choose a more suitable style and brand for themselves.

The first pit of furniture whole-house customization: design color mismatch, size is not in place, violation of living habits, style is not coordinated, layout chaos All kinds of problems are common in the field of whole-house customization, and the root of most of the problems lies in the lack of ability of designers and detachment from the reality of life.

As for after-sales, the formaldehyde content promised by the merchant, the warranty of hardware and cabinets, must be reflected in the contract.

Mainly because of the greater flexibility of custom furniture, for some old and dilapidated primary school buildings, the area itself is insufficient.

In recent years, this type of furniture has become more popular with consumers than finished furniture. That's because he can make reasonable use of space, which is beautiful and functional. Let me talk about some of the things you should pay attention to when making custom furniture!

1.The content of the contract should be specific: the home material, style, size, hardware accessories and other contents are detailed and clear in the contract. Look carefully at the contract! Look carefully at the contract!

2.Choose the brand as much as possible: the decoration market is mixed, try to choose influential brands, big brands are large-scale production, quality control and after-sales service policies are relatively mature. It's not that small brands are bad, it's that they're more likely to run into risks.

3.Environmental protection level: An important part of custom home furnishing is the board, whether it is layout or edge banding, it is an important source of formaldehyde, so it is necessary to choose high-grade environmentally friendly materials.

If you are not at ease, you can ask the merchant to write in the contract that when the wardrobe is installed, you can take samples on the cabinet at will, and if the formaldehyde or xylene exceeds the standard, all costs will be compensated! It is also necessary to look at the sampling report, and the results show that this batch of products is qualified.

4.Hardware is very important: the most common problem of furniture is in the handle, hinges and other small accessories, long-term use of the best choice of big brand hardware, the money on the blade. At the same time, pay attention to whether the merchant adjusts the package during installation, and carefully check every hardware.

5.About**: Be sure to do the math yourself, and check each item carefully; Some charging details should be known, whether the corner part of the wardrobe is repeatedly charged, whether the accessories given are reasonable, etc.

Upgrade the plate or hardware (usually the back panel, door panel, etc.), and the configuration is generally the lowest level. Be sure to deduct the original cost when upgrading, otherwise you will pay twice. Examples:

The standard Dongtai hinge (10 pieces) is upgraded to Blum (30 pieces), and you should pay another 20 yuan at this time.

6.Clear needs: Be clear about the style you want, budget, storage needs, etc., don't be fooled by sales, do your homework in advance, and take this big thing seriously.

7. Five-year insurance, lifelong maintenance. Can it really be done? Ask clearly: What does the "warranty" cover? What to "maintain".

What do you need to talk about when ordering a whole house? Remember these 7 points to avoid merchant pitfalls! When you choose whole-house customization, you must make more comparisons, understand the market, and choose a brand with a good reputation.

Try to choose a regular merchant with more guaranteed after-sales service, and be sure to agree on the details in the form of a written contract when purchasing, and keep the relevant bills so that they can be used as a basis in case of disputes.

Custom furniture is very popular, should be avoided in this way: the environmental protection of furniture is very important, there is a layer of decorative surface on the outside of the substrate, some decorative surfaces are glued to the machine, some are used to paint brushes, about the environmental protection of the surface material, most businesses choose to keep their mouths shut; Appearance: The range of appearance options for customized furniture is directly proportional to the strength of the brand; **Some brands will play a low price, but they sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, and some brands dare not give renderings at a low price.

It is best to find reliable people to buy, good product size in advance, but also to make the product and the overall style unified, be sure to shop around.

When customizing furniture, learn to shop around, choose products that you like and are satisfied with, and regularly supervise the work and check the progress of the production to avoid stepping on pits.
