Nowadays, there are many types of office furniture on the market, with different material choices. It is inevitable for consumers to purchase inferior products. Now we are going the opposite way and teaching you how to identify inferior products.
1. Price trap
Consumers often pay more attention to style and price when purchasing office furniture. Bad businesses see this and imitate the beautiful style of famous brands at a relatively low cost. At this point, consumers seem to feel the same style, but the price difference is so large. When they buy cheap and inferior products, they think they have bought cheap goods.
2. Use inferior wood
Wood that has been gnawed on by insects or has not been dried, with high humidity, can easily cause deformation, cracking, and other problems in office furniture, endangering the health of users and resulting in unimaginable consequences.
3. There are differences between internal and external
As I have mentioned before, there are many cheap "solid wood office furniture" that use surface skin and interior artificial boards. There are even some leather materials that meet national requirements in the front, and some shoddy materials in the back, all of which are inferior materials containing a large amount of formaldehyde, affecting the health of users.
4. Poor edge sealing treatment
Panel office furniture is generally made of wooden boards as the main raw material, using adhesives and should not be exposed to water. Therefore, the waterproofing of artificial boards usually depends on the waterproof material on the surface and the surrounding edges. However, some unscrupulous businesses, in order to reduce costs and gain more benefits, mishandling can easily lead to office furniture becoming damp and rotting, and formaldehyde inside is also released
5. Metal parts
The previous news also reported that a solid wood cabinet hanging on the wall fell down and injured someone. After investigation, the solid wood cabinet weighs several tens of pounds, but it was fixed to the wall with only six screws. That's right, unscrupulous merchants can do anything to reduce costs, cutting corners on various metal parts.
