Uncover the chaos of mahogany furniture: dealers join hands to raise prices to join forces

Stir-fry "problem mahogany"

Redwood trap

Interest rate recovery, gold repurchase, behind the seemingly prosperous mahogany furniture market, is actually the speculation of hot money on this non-renewable resource. The dealers teamed up to raise prices, manufacturers to join hands with the concept of smashing goods, and even buying and selling all kinds of chaos, have led to the "sickness" of the mahogany market. In addition to recognizing the "low price" trap, consumers may wish to learn a few more tricks to identify "problem mahogany."

The price has risen and fallen sharply. The mahogany furniture market is not only deep in water, but also in many ways. In the speculation of capital, the bubble phenomenon is serious and even collapsed.

Hot money hype

Merchants deliberately draw the equals of mahogany and gold

Mr. Zhang, a veteran of the industry, said that mahogany furniture has gone from cherished to collecting, from collecting to investing, from investing to speculation, until the bubble burst in the frantic speculation, and the price plummeted. In this regard, some industry insiders contacted by the reporter also believe that behind this is a large amount of hot money turned to the mahogany market, pushing an irrational price level, leading to the emergence of a strange "bureau".

In the broadest sense, mahogany furniture includes hardwood furniture such as rosewood, rosewood, wenge, and rosewood. On June 12, 2013, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora listed 7 of the 33 species of redwood species. The introduction of controlled species has greatly increased the trade threshold, and this convention has directly triggered a new round of price hikes in related timber. Some consumers think that this is due to the law of value. In fact, it is closely related to the hype of the merchants. There are also some mahogany furniture dealers that have launched a 10% repurchase rate every year to attract customers, and some directly repurchase mahogany furniture with gold, so that the redwood and gold are deliberately drawn by the merchants. In the mahogany circle, a hype, other families will follow the group hype.

The Huashang Daily reporter found that the hype furniture hype is generally like this: pay a certain amount of margin to the mahogany manufacturer to become a dealer, and bear the sales of redwood in the area. After the formation of the supply and marketing system of manufacturers and dealers, the first-level dealers will join hands with the second-tier and third-tier dealers to lift the prices of various types of mahogany products, achieving prices that are dozens of times higher, and allowing consumers to “bleed”. Other manufacturers have joined hands with dealers to purchase the most valuable products after purchasing rare amounts of wood. They use one or several years to package concepts, stir-fry their scarcity and collection value, and so on to ten times. Dozens of times to shoot. Prices have been pulled up, many merchants began to sell short, sell high, take the stock market to fry mahogany, the bubble expands to a high price and no market, naturally collapsed.

Rising price rumors

Shouted for more than three years, do not believe "buy up and not buy down"

China's furniture market has experienced a rapid development of the golden decade, and Xi'an's mahogany furniture market also peaked around 2012. When the price of redwood is the best, Xi'an has not caught up. Now many of the mahogany factories in Xi'an are businessmen who take money to cooperate with southern manufacturers, because the carving techniques and techniques in the south have advantages over Xi'an.

Years ago, Xi'an and Xianyang also had some long-sighted bosses. They set up offices in Laos and Myanmar to import logs into the country for processing. They were not willing to engage in the role of secondary or tertiary distribution. Manufacturers, sold nationwide, did a good job at the beginning, but they were not affected by a series of external factors, especially the capital chain restrictions.

Due to the influence of the market for three consecutive years, the merchants who are now engaged in the management of mahogany furniture have also learned to use the craftsmanship of the South to jointly import the incoming raw materials to the southern manufacturers for processing. It can control the price of raw materials, and can control the processing cost. Through the way of creating or branding, we can use the channel of selling goods to leverage the leverage principle of capital to shake the huge mahogany furniture market in Xi'an.

In the past, the rosewood and rosewood furniture was basically a price, after which the rosewood rose about three times more than the rosewood. According to industry sources, the staff of the Redwoods industry have been trying to pull the price of rosewood in the past three years, but it has not been realized by the influence of the consumption environment. Recently, the Xi'an mahogany furniture market has heard the winds to increase prices, and the increase is relatively large. In this regard, Mr. Zhang said that the words have been called for more than three years, and there is still no movement. It may be just a means of promotion for the merchants. Do not believe that buying and buying does not buy down.

Look, smell, and smash three steps to identify "problem mahogany"

Mr. Cheng, who lives in Xi'an South of the city, has always liked mahogany furniture. Since he only had 50,000 yuan in deposits, he went to various furniture markets in Xi'an in order to save money. He finally went to Hebei to spend 50,000 yuan to purchase 21 sets, although the style Like mahogany furniture, because the price gap is too much, I always feel that the furniture I bought is not real mahogany furniture, specifically to find Mr. Zhang identification.

But Mr. Zhang did not agree. After Mr. Cheng left, he told reporters that in fact, many people like Mr. Cheng, like redwood but do not understand mahogany, just looking at flowers in the fog, not spending money to buy mahogany furniture, but I believe this is mahogany, this bureau Not willing to break.

In order to better explain in kind and help consumers identify true and false mahogany, on January 6, Huashang Daily reporter and Mr. Zhang came to a large furniture market in Xi'an North Second Ring Road.

Look carefully when you have a patina.

Mr. Zhang said that all consumers who buy mahogany furniture first look at the color of the paint outside the mahogany furniture. This is the "face" of mahogany furniture. If you look at it at first sight, you will definitely suffer losses. “So, on mahogany furniture, the paint is sometimes a fig leaf.”

During the conversation, Mr. Zhang put on a pair of white gloves, picked up a rosewood circle chair, and wiped it with his hands on the back of the chair. At this time, the white gloves did not change, then he put the chair Turn it over and wipe it against the bottom of the chair, the corners and the joints of the wood. The white gloves turned red. Mr. Zhang said that the upper patina is also an important indicator for judging classical mahogany furniture. The same material of the same style of mahogany furniture, there is a big difference between the price of patina and no patina, only the natural formed patina has the collection value, fake package There is no value in pulp. Many unscrupulous merchants make fake patina to deceive consumers. Therefore, everyone in the antique market has found that mahogany furniture with patina must be carefully discerned so as not to be deceived.

Authentic mahogany furniture, when working, the craftsmen will carefully splicing the same wooden boards, so that no matter how large the spliced ​​surface, the texture is relatively refreshing, plus artificial decoration, can shed the charm of mahogany furniture. When Mr. Zhang came to a rosewood coffee table, he did not stop using the hand wipe, and the whole board surface showed the grainy texture.

Smell the surface and smell it

Mr. Zhang went to a closet and opened the door of the cabinet to let the reporter smell it. He could smell a scent of wood. Then he rubbed his hands and pressure, and the taste began to increase. Mr. Zhang said that it is an indispensable step for customers who know more about mahogany furniture, because the material of mahogany furniture has a unique smell. The taste of authentic redwood is flat and soft, it is a natural taste. And falsified, there is always a taste of cosmetics. Generally speaking, Vietnamese huanghuali has a spicy and strong aroma, lobular rosewood has a light fragrance, large leaf rosewood has a light acidity, and red rosewood has the same sweet and sour taste as old vinegar. African huanghuali is similar in color and texture to Vietnamese huanghuali and Burmese rosewood, but you only know the difference by carefully smelling it. Because African huanghuali has an unpleasant smell, this is a distinctive feature of African huanghuali, which is said to be the fragrant pear and stinky pear on the market.

Mr. Zhang said that some mahogany furniture has been put on for a long time, and the taste is not obvious. If the customer wants to judge it is also very simple, it can be scraped with a knife in unimportant parts such as drawers and concealed places. The unique taste is Shown out. The surface of the real mahogany is not obvious, and the smell inside is obvious; the surface of the fake is very odorous, but there is no such smell inside.

掂Redwood is heavier than ordinary wooden furniture

The real mahogany furniture is firm and strong, and heavier than the average furniture. The fake mahogany of the same shape and size is lighter than the real mahogany furniture. For the veteran, hand rubbing or lifting the mahogany furniture can be felt from the weight. The common red sandalwood, rosewood, wenge, rosewood, etc. on the market have different weights. For beginners, it is best to look at whether the furniture frame structure is glued, especially hidden drawers, table bottoms and other parts.
