Home decoration custom cabinetry popular MO is the "prices" in the end

The kitchen is an important part of modern home furnishings, home decoration, the whole Cabinet is indispensable, and generally need to be done, as the industry's lack of clear standards, all major brands of market prices varied significantly, due to the customization and setup process more professional, timber complex, some consumers can easily fall into the businesses set "price trap". Live new xiangzhou Wanjia Ms. Lee vicinity is deeply felt.

First, Ms. Lee intends to spend $ 10 000 or so, customize a suite of integrated Cabinet 3 yanmi. Looking at the Cabinet model, the sales staff told her that the Cabinet body price can be determined, but some parts require additional fees, material selection and more flexible. Ms. Lee thought accessories inexpensive, so make a deposit. However, the final design, because of the need to increase the variety of "special fittings" and choose the "upscale" marble, imported metal and other materials, the overall cost is close to 2 million. "Equities are not so fast," Ms. LEE, in accordance with the merchant, the budget, $ designed products feature is not perfect, and poor materials will lack of beauty, and their expected results have gaps. For paying the deposit, and other prior instructions "special accessories" to charges, and with some electrical appliances, increase the budget in view also appears to be reasonable, Ms. Lee finally reluctantly accept each other's programmes.

◆ The lack of industry standards is the main

At present, the fees generally follow the whole Cabinet, Cabinet body length yanmi, like Loomstate 2000 Yuan, custom cabinet 3 meters long, is 2000 Yuan/yanmi yanmi × 3 = $ 6000. Author interview at CB Home World, found that the majority of businesses, including well-known brands such as Optima ®. Some brands such as Blue Valley, a way to split a quote, i.e. Cabinet, wall cupboard separately calculated prices, such as 3 m extension of the Cabinet consists of three cabinet, two wall cupboard, assuming that each cabinet 1000 Yuan, a countertop $ 1500, so the total is $ 6000.

Although the calculation is not difficult, but because of the cabinets custom, professional installation process, and timber, consumers are often difficult to identify good or bad, it's all too easy to fall into the trap of "price businesses." Zhuhai Chen senior designer to author revealed that business, introducing the product, tend to highlight the advantages of a on the one hand, interested customers towards high prices to boot. Common pricing traps has several aspects: one is the start of covertly said some material is cheap, but recommends that the customer change "upscale expensive material"; second, double counting, some standard hardware accessories originally without additional charge, but some businesses but as a special accessory to count; three is playing around with the concept of some Exposition materials terminology to let customers feel the "Advanced" and "environmental"; the fourth is "virtual function", some rarely used features, stressed that is required.

"Primarily custom cabinets also lack appropriate charges," said Chen designers. I visited the home market is also found that while many businesses have claimed to own the commodity price transparent, but each brand's algorithm, the price is not the same.

◆ Reminder: consumers should carefully the special "cheap" products

Samsung decoration company expert designers engaged in Zhuhai, told this reporter, consumers custom integrated Cabinet, first of all to express one's budget, the budget should be the last traded price. Kitchen brands currently on the market, prices of several thousand dollars to thousands of products, and if the wallet is not easy in wujin, purchasing personnel seduce "level", the stands become out of hand.

Optima kitchen Zhuhai shopping centre project manager Chen Yun hua, Cabinet products mainly practical, durable and the surface look to really know until after use. Therefore, consumers buy products, you should look for in a brand's reputation, formal manufacturers products no matter how customization, materials, installation, there will be harmonized standards, to a certain extent, to avoid the individual agents considered hutuzhang.

Second, watch brand, customers in the economic conditions allow, the able select national brands such as Optima, bolloni; or select Blue Valley, Guangdong brand, you can also select the Zhuhai local brands such as Connie hua, etc. Brand products in quality and after-sales service will have more protection.

Trade to remind, brand cabinets on the market today, but the small workshop processing plant production products have many, many also to OEM way confusing the consumer perspective, therefore, for the special "cheap" products, consumers should be more of a mind, avoid eating heavy losses. Purchase the whole Cabinet before, be sure to adhere to the principle of own purse.
