Fujian redwood industry management lags behind the abnormal development, it is difficult to go far

At the end of 2010, the sale of more than 60% of mahogany furniture mixed with white skin in Xianyou County, Fujian Province was exposed by the media. . In this regard, Lin Aixin, secretary-general of the Fujian Classical Craft Furniture Association, said in an interview with the "Legal Daily": "This has poured cold water into the mahogany furniture industry that has developed too fast and has led to mixed fish and dragons.

It is understood that in recent years, the mahogany furniture industry has been enjoying the carnival of skyrocketing prices while "digesting" the cynicism of consumers and the media. In Lin Aixin's words, this industry with little experience has entered the world at an unimaginable rate. Prosperous period. Taking Xianyou as an example, the output value of classical craft furniture was only 500 million yuan 4 years ago, but by 2010 it was already 10 billion yuan. However, this problem of abnormal prosperity has begun to show up: price rises and falls, frequent quality problems, lagging management systems, and lack of industry standards.

"White leather" material "smear" mahogany furniture

In the production workshops of several furniture companies, there are pieces of light-weight (unfinished appearance) furniture. If the staff picks a piece of furniture at random, there will be "white skin" mixed in it, even accounting for 60% of the entire parts. They waited for the workers responsible for "make-up" to come to paint, disguise, and then flow to the market, and finally bought by consumers at high prices. This was the "unspoken rule" of the mahogany furniture industry exposed by the media more than a month ago.

According to Chinese mahogany standards, mahogany is the heartwood of Pterocarpus, Dalbergia, Diospyros, Clematis, and Helix. Mahogany furniture is furniture made from this kind of wood. It is favored by consumers because of its warm color, elegant shape, strong and durable characteristics. In recent years, factors such as precious materials and scarce resources have made mahogany furniture a new investment favorite in the collection industry.

"White skin" is the sapwood of mahogany wood. Compared with heartwood, the density is low and the pressure resistance is low. If a large amount of "white skin" is mixed into the surface and main structure of the furniture, it will be rotted by insects in a few years, which will not only affect the mahogany furniture. Aesthetics will also weaken the firmness of furniture and shorten the service life of furniture.

According to media reports, at present in the lumber market, one of the redwood species of red rosewood is generally 40,000 to 50,000 yuan per ton, while a ton of "white skin" is only 7,800 yuan, the price difference is 50 to 60 times. Incorporation of "white skin" in furniture will reduce production costs, so some manufacturers deliberately do not remove "white skin" according to the standard, but use "white skin" to impersonate raw materials of mahogany worth tens of thousands of yuan or more. Multiple "make-up" procedures such as color and pattern drawing make white leather and real mahogany furniture into one. In addition to being used in mid-range mahogany furniture such as red rosewood, this trick is also applied to some valuable mahogany furniture such as red rosewood, small rosewood and Huanghuali.

Relevant experts believe that it is understandable to use white leather on some accessories due to the mahogany's preciousness. However, due to the price difference between furniture with "white skin" and furniture without "white skin" on the market, and consumers' insufficient knowledge of mahogany furniture, most businesses will not consider whether to include "white skin". Information informs consumers that it will not be used as a basis for pricing.

The manufacturer said that the "disgrace" is a "layman"

According to reports, on the third day after the sale of more than 60% of Xianyou's mahogany furniture mixed with "white skin" was exposed, Xianyou County responded and ordered the exposed three illegal enterprises such as Wan Forest, Hualong and Huanglige to immediately suspend production for rectification And set up a special quality supervision and improvement leading working group to conduct a large-scale inspection of the product quality of the process enterprises in the county, and temporarily suspend the semi-finished mahogany furniture semi-finished products found in the "white skin" and concentrate on rectification; The semi-finished mahogany furniture of the "leather" is collected and destroyed in a centralized manner. On the morning of the same day, heads and representatives of more than 600 large-scale mahogany furniture companies in Xianyou also gathered together and signed a commitment to standardize production.

"Legal Daily" reporter investigation found that although some manufacturers began to reflect, but in the mahogany furniture industry, there is also a voice that the previous exposure to the "white skin" of mahogany furniture is somewhat layman's exposure.

"Legal Daily" reporter interviewed many Xianyou County mahogany furniture company leaders, industry experts and administrative officials, and learned from their mouths that the so-called "layman" refers to the Chinese mahogany standards cited in media reports that are not directly directed at mahogany furniture Production, but only the standard for mahogany materials. For specific production, Fujian Province has its own local standard for classical craft furniture (DB35 / T 741-2007), and there are also dark and hardwood furniture parts in the national light industry standard. Both of them have made materials for classical craft furniture. Clearly defined.

According to the local standard of classical craft furniture in Fujian Province, "white leather" is allowed to be used in mahogany furniture, but "the product should have no sapwood on the surface, and the parts that affect the structural strength of the product should also have no sapwood. The area content of the sapwood on other parts should be No more than 1/10 of the part (excluding sapwood with a width less than 5mm) ".

The national light industry standard dark and precious hardwood furniture points out, "The front face of the product should have no sapwood; the sapwood content of the surface of the parts of other parts should not exceed 1/10 of the surface area of ​​the part (the sapwood with a width less than 8mm is not counted) ) ".

"The reason why these standards are so stipulated is mainly due to the consideration of not wasting redwood resources." Cai Zhenfeng, head of the disciplinary inspection team of the Xianyou County Quality Supervision Bureau, explained to the "Legal Daily" reporter, "Because redwood resources are scarce; some redwoods are not The rules, so if all the materials are made from mahogany, some of the originally available mahogany may be wasted. "

Lin Aixin, secretary-general of Fujian Classical Craft Furniture Association, also said that the proper use of "white skin" is common to the industry. It is impossible to waste the entire precious wood because of a little "white skin". The key is to standardize the use. The quality of sapwood is not as serious as reported, and if handled properly, it cannot be wormed off in two or three years.

National standards lag behind

"The exposed companies must be problematic. First, the sapwood exceeded the prescribed standards; second, they did not actively tell consumers." Lin Aixin told reporters that although there are objections to some of the facts in the media reports, they are in contrast to them. He is more disappointed by the status quo in this industry, "Although it is developing rapidly on the surface, this industry has always been in a state of mixed fish and dragons."

As shown in media reports, there are more than three companies that have not used sapwood according to the standard, which is almost an unspoken rule in the industry. In this regard, Lin Aixin frankly stated: "The media reports are like a pot of cold water. After the dumplings are cooked, they are poured down at just the right time to wake up the industry and prevent them from sticking." He even looked at the incident. To be a landmark upgrade opportunity for the mahogany furniture industry.

According to the statistics of Fujian Classical Craft Furniture Association, there are currently more than 2,600 classical craft furniture enterprises in Xianyou County, many of which are hand-workshop-style production and family-managed enterprises, with poor product quality awareness and standard awareness. , Often appear to be sub-charged, mixed fish and other phenomena.

"The problem now is that the speed of development has far exceeded the government's management level." Lin Aixin said.

Cai Zhenfeng asked the reporter emotionally on the phone: "We are in charge every day, but the problem still occurs. Who do you blame?"

"First of all, for more than 2,000 companies, we are just a few people, and it is impossible to go home one by one; second, even if we go to investigate, we still face legal issues such as difficult to obtain evidence, difficult to detect, and difficult to investigate and deal with. For example, we are in I saw a piece of illegal furniture parts containing a lot of 'white skin' in the factory, and proposed to deal with it, but others can say that I haven't used it yet; and for some fake mahogany, we will still encounter detection problems after checking. " Cai Zhenfeng couldn't help but face the difficulties in management. "There is now a provincial standard, but the standard is not detailed enough, and many things are inoperable; and it should have been a national standard first, and then a landmark will be developed according to the national standard. The national standard has not been approved yet. Without standards, many laws are difficult to match.

The reporter learned from Lin Aixin that the national mahogany furniture standard has been drafted by a Guangdong company and is being submitted to the relevant national authorities for review and has not yet been approved; while the standard of Fujian Province was revised and established in 2010 and is ready to be carried out in the near future Refinement has not yet begun.

"On the one hand, improving standards and systems, and improving management institutions; on the one hand, improving the level of testing technology, these two are measures that can fundamentally solve the chaotic status of the mahogany furniture industry." Although the analysis is so clear, Lin Aixin said that starting from reality, he Not optimistic.

"The conditions for these two measures are not yet available. Xianyou County is trying to establish a long-term supervision mechanism. The success or failure is unknown, but at least it can provide a reference for the industry." Lin Aixin said.

Finally, Lin Aixin suggested that under the premise that the big framework is not perfect, the most important thing is that consumers should be rational, understand the knowledge of mahogany furniture, have a sense of rights protection, and actively sign a purchase agreement with the seller. "Because consumers didn't understand it in the past, there were some violations in this industry that nobody said. Now everyone knows that this will promote the upgrade of the entire industry, some small manufacturers will be eliminated, and large manufacturers will pay more attention to branding. ".
