The highly sought-after sample furniture without "three guarantees" needs to be calmly started

"50% off the whole sample for sale", "Cost of this sample" ... Yesterday, the reporter visited Ou Yada, Hongqi furniture and other furniture stores and found that because of the longer display time, the taste is lighter than the new furniture , and the price is affordable. The sample furniture Favored by consumers, some merchants have also posted a "sample special" label.

At the Ouyada Building Materials home store on Xiongchu Avenue, the reporter saw Ms. Hu, who was choosing a panel sample bed . She said that she was very sensitive to "scented" furniture and was anxious to move in. Her friend suggested that she take a look at the sample furniture. "The samples are stored for a longer period of time and the prices are cheaper." In a high-end furniture store in the store, the reporter saw that all the sample furniture in the store was labeled "special treatment". A new sofa product is 10% off, and the sample discount is 35% off; a large bed originally priced at more than 5,000 yuan, sample processing only sells 3800 yuan.

Song Xiaofeng, a brand distributor, said that the formaldehyde contained in the sample furniture, benzene and other volatile organic compounds emitted from the paint surface, after being placed in the store for a few months, experienced a period of "air odor" and the taste was relatively mild. And the price is more favorable, so it is loved by consumers.

However, the reporter learned that most merchants said that the sample furniture is a "special price" product, and does not provide package return or replacement, nor does it provide "three guarantees" services. Consumers need to be cautious to "start" when they are buying cheap. At the same time pay attention to the following two aspects:

Check the sample damage

Due to prolonged sitting in the store for a long time, after many people sitting and touching, many samples will show local damage. For example, the surface of the fabric product looks unclean and may be stained, and some wooden furniture may be damaged. The bumps will cause problems such as partial paint dropping on the hardware.

If you want to buy such a sample, not only should you pay attention to whether these damages will affect the use and appearance, but you should also ask whether it can be repaired. In general, when selling samples, the merchant will clearly inform the consumer that the sample is damaged, and will remind the product not to provide repair after the sale. Therefore, consumers should carefully check whether these damages are within the acceptable range before purchasing, and agree with the merchant whether new damages can be repaired at the door.

Don't believe in "sample environmental protection"

Many consumers believe that the samples placed in the store for a period of time are more environmentally friendly, because after a long period of time, the furniture has almost no odor. In fact, this idea has some misunderstandings. Because whether the furniture is environmentally friendly does not depend on the time of odor, but is determined by the degree of environmental protection of the board used. In general, furniture produced using environmentally friendly plates will be stored in the factory for about a week after production, so that the smell of paint and glue will gradually dissipate, and then shipped to the consumer's home. Such furniture will be almost free of formaldehyde pollution. problem.

If the furniture uses a board with a harmful substance release amount exceeding the standard, it is difficult to be completely tasteless even if it smells for a long time, because the free formaldehyde in the board can be released for more than ten years. Therefore, when purchasing samples, you must ask the merchant to show the relevant test report to check whether the furniture is environmentally friendly.
