It is an annual 3 · 15 international consumer rights day, in the face of the global financial crisis, 15 3 · this year's message from the past "rights, fake" becomes "expanding consumption, the promotion of growth", which are preparing for the decoration of the majority of owners, shopping is a great opportunity to save money. However, the author interviews found that many consumers on decorative materials in the cabinets of common sense knows very little, and the lack of consumer knowledge. In the face of the brand launch of various "concessions" temptation, consumers cabinets products also need to sharpen the eye, beware of falling into the trap of consumption.
A number of consumer scams, cabinets
Due to Cabinet in the case of custom-made products, industry development time is short, barriers to entry are low, many "false brand" and "cottage factory" have entered the Cabinet industry. Lead to the spread of "fake" products, "" shoddy "phenomenon seriously, plus many consumers for the sake of cheap, lack of consumer knowledge, cupboard to these zapai enterprises," the family workshop "offers a great living space. Many unscrupulous companies use consumer information asymmetry set consumption trap, seriously misleading consumers on the cabinets of cognitive and purchase. Therefore, consumers when buying cabinets would need to be cautious. In China, the author is aware of the Office, the Cabinet has the following main big trap:
1. material traps. Take a variety of cabinets materials, now many whole Cabinet sales staff a up first recommended to consumer-grade material, such as Crystal XX XX plate, silver drill plate, "you think your? Particleboard is also good, can be cheaper". Better than, worse than others, in contrast, many consumers will accept. Mesa to account for the cost of a full set of kitchen cabinet. Get a quote for $ 1800 yanmi of cabinets, if you use domestically produced the best artificial stone floor was spent 700 million. However the current process of home-made artificial stone yond some marginal-made artificial stone Loomstate only need $ 300 to $ 500, while the stone from the appearance even in the industry is also very difficult to see any significant difference, a table with a few hundred dollars can have yanmi spreads the profits for businesses offer a lot of adjustment of space. As raw materials for the E1 sheet (health), E1 sheet is divided into domestic and European E1 E1-grade level, both the amount of formaldehyde emission standards and plate price are very different. Some undocumented business "kitchen cabinet", because the price is very low, in order to gain more profit, sales delivery in often shoddy, such as consumers selected samples are security logo, achieves consumer home appearance, but no marker.
Cabinet of backplane is a "concept". Like many sales presentation products often said: "we are using a moisture-resistant Board, special handling, moisture-proof effect is good, of course, the price is slightly expensive. "But in fact insiders know, Cabinet is doing a table of waterproof and connected pipes, moisture-proof requirements are not high. The so-called moisture resistant Board is really just to plain density Board made a deal. Some businesses use domestic hardware instead of importing hardware accessories, prices charged by the import price. Most consumers don't attach too much importance to fittings, quick lift completely unaware. Therefore, consumers in order to require vendors to write out the cabinets of specific accessories brand and model.
Experts advise consumers to determine if Cabinet quality is good or bad, the most important thing is to look at the plates, and its edge, hardware fittings, and other details. The cabinet shall be composed of high-quality mdf or chipboard sticker fire panels, etc., the formal cabinet manufacturers making veneer and edge Professional machines with high pressure to complete, this will enable the veneer, edge sealing and sheet combined with strong, long-term use will not be cracked.
2. price trap. A complete set of kitchen cabinet prices should include: the cost of materials (including cabinets, countertops, hardware, electrical appliances, etc.) and design, manufacture, installation and after-sales service, and other different links. Different brands and different material cabinets, its price will be a gap, this is normal. But the face of price too low or exceeded the number of times the normal price of kitchen products, consumers will need rational face. In General, "knockdown" cabinets first material quality is very difficult to secure, the second is the after-sales service even if the promise is also very difficult to guarantee. Therefore, consumers should be based on their quoted market price, detailed reference and then sell the same products. Dealers are often used to discount the "killer app" to attract consumers to purchase. But in essence, a discount is difficult to reflect the nature of the Cabinet, will also be carried away by the consumers have a cool head. Many businesses are leveraging consumers not professional to "Mont-thing". Cabinet Accessories if the Crown in order to "foreign import" and "patents", the price is turned over several times, and even some companies use their own reduce configuration of cabinets and others fully configured price compared to the cupboard.
3. service traps. A good quality Cabinet whether have a definite useful life in order to guarantee consumers the normal use of formal businesses will have 2 to 3-year warranty. However, some in the "cottage factory" production of Cabinet making rough, soon has the quality problem. Because merchants are not after-sales service or lack of maintenance funds, either shorten the repair period, either set the various obstacles to shirk its responsibility. When you select a good ideal kitchen brand, many with businesses signed a subscription contract, but at this point, the business may also produce some recessive provisions of the King asks you to sign up, consumers do not pay attention, they will fall into the trap. So consumers
Before purchasing, be careful to understand the sales contract, to ensure that their legitimate rights and interests. There are also business custom cycle not regularly renewed. Custom cabinets production cycle for consumers is an important issue, therefore, merchants and credit is very important. Therefore, remind consumers to choose the production period guaranteed brand and clearly in the contract of sale and delivery time for breach of contract. What is more, some businesses and small cabinets, no factory orders through the local factory OEM production, "hanging head, selling dog meat", deceive consumers, quality and delivery times are not guaranteed. Therefore, before the signing of the contract, to learn more about manufacturers, or try to get some professional stores choose to purchase brand cabinets.
4. certification of traps. In the face of the assortment of products, consumers will always be some clouds fog. At this point, some vendors are making environmental licensing, but the real access to authoritative Department recognized, beware of the "fake environmental protection". Faced with such merchants, consumers may require the seller to contract to be a clear environmental certification.
Second, the brand stores security more
"All these phenomena are not harmonious, forming Cabinet consumption syndrome, that many consumers suffered economic loss or damage to the entire industry image. "In this regard, the National Federation of the Cabinet Committee Chairman, President, Optima cabinets yaoliangsong alerts: these must be highly vigilant not harmonious phenomena, prevent and eliminate the" broken window "effect.
Yaoliangsong describes the effect of the "broken window" from the "broken window theory", this theory was originally composed of political scientists Wilson and criminologists Kai lam suggested that means if someone broke the Windows of a building of glass and Windows without timely repair, others may be affected by some suggestive conniving to break more Windows, over time, these broken Windows give people a sense of disorder, as a result, in such a public apathetic atmosphere, crime will grow and spread. "At present, the Cabinet industry, has a ' broken window effect ' sign, mainly reflected in the ' green with wind, ' ' fake foreigner" and repeated at enterprise, you must attach great attention. "Yaoliangsong said. How to fundamentally solve the above problem? yaoliangsong believes that enterprise-discipline, sector associations supervision, mass rational consumption tripartite collaboration, is the most effective way. "As a guide the national cabinet industry development of the National Federation of the Cabinet Committee, we will be together with the relevant national authorities, through a more reasonable supervision and guidance to promote the healthy development of industry standardized. "Yaoliangsong said.
To this end, he suggested that the majority of consumers, when buying a kitchen cabinet to consider buying brand cabinets and select a size and grade of professional kitchen sells the field, to avoid the trap of "consumption", maintain their own legitimate interests.

According to the Shenzhen cupboards Association official: currently, Shenzhen cupboards market still lack specification management, we recommend that consumers try to buy the regular shopping malls, such as: country homes, Interbrew, Lima 100, etc. It is reported that consumer associations in Shenzhen well-known building material stores country homes, the establishment of the Shenzhen currently only "business model base cupboard specifications." Here not only the famous cabinets like section Po · bolloni, debao · sickmann, Optima ®, gold, Haier, pianuo, Blue Valley, dandy, often spends delivery, ingenuity, shangpengtang, Connie, AI Jia, Blum, Shenzhen local cabinetry rookie brands, such as: Bryant, good poems di, thousands of families, Belle, Golan di, kitchen, Dan had · delivery, Julius Caesar, AUBIGNY, Jiayi, sea Grand and other brands. And in business sales countries live provides various brands businesses need to use the State housing standard formal sales contract, uniform delivery, sale, Exchange or refund, quality and environmental assurance services, especially since the introduction of the 2008 "advance payment" to purchase cabinets products customers provides more effective security services.
