Consumers are not experts in the industry. It is difficult to avoid misleading when shopping or subjectively judge product performance based on past experience. As a result, the products purchased are often different from expectations. In this issue, we have summarized several product concepts that are easily confused in the market and hope to help you.
Quartz stone is artificial
When buying kitchen countertops, many people have heard the introduction of shopping guide: "This is artificial stone, this is quartz stone." This gives the impression that quartz stone countertops should be different from artificial stone natural stone. And the price of quartz stone is also generally higher than artificial stone. But in fact, quartz stone countertops are also a kind of artificial stone.
Deng Huiqing, deputy secretary general of the China Stone Association and the National Stone Standardization Technical Committee, and senior engineer, once introduced that the artificial stone used for home decoration mainly includes artificial quartz stone, artificial marble/granite, solid surface material (common artificial stone), etc. Several. Artificial quartz stone is made by adding quartz sand and quartz stone powder to the resin through pressurization and vacuuming. It is characterized by high hardness and stain resistance, and can be used in kitchen, bathroom countertops or floor coverings. Many quartz stone countertops on the market look very natural stone color, and they are rich in color and very confusing. However, experts say that quartz stone itself should be colorless and transparent. Now all kinds of colors seen on the market are artificial. Additional. Some manufacturers will add shredded glass materials during the production process, making the whole stone look very shiny, but this only changes the appearance and has no effect on the actual quality.
Leather sofa may not be a whole leather
When it comes to leather sofas, many people intuitively think that they are the same as leather shoes, and they should all be made of cowhide. But in fact, the leather sofa has the concept of full leather and half skin. Zhu Changling, vice chairman of the China Furniture Association, pointed out that leather sofas are mainly divided into two types: leather sofas and leather sofas (semi-leather sofas). The national light industry standard (QB/T1952.1_99) for soft furniture sofas stipulates that all leather sofas except the bottom of the sofa seat are all covered with natural animal leather. The main part of the leather sofa refers to the sofa seat and the front of the backrest. Natural animal leather-covered sofas are used on the backrest and on the inside of the armrests and on the armrests.
Due to the high cost of the whole leather sofa, the market is mostly a half-skin sofa. Although the imitation leather and the leather feel different, it is difficult to distinguish intuitively. Therefore, consumers should pay attention to consulting and shopping guides when purchasing, and if necessary, they can request the proportion of full leather and half skin to be attached to the contract.
Multi-layer solid wood board is actually plywood
Many merchants on the market now make a fuss about the name of artificial boards, which is confusing. For example, there is a kind of plate called multi-layer solid wood, which is actually a structure in which merchants use plywood and multi-layer veneers are superimposed and pressed. In addition, the Ou Song board and solid wood particle board on the market are actually particle board. The Australian pine board is a MDF. And a kind of plate called ecological board, which is arranged by wood strips, and the surface is veneered. Experts speculate from its structure that it is actually a large core board.
Experts reminded that the name of the man-made board is linked to the solid wood, in order to mislead consumers. The product name and quality are not necessarily related, and there is no need to associate too much. When signing a contract, the merchant should be urged to fill in the formal name and environmental protection level.

Meet the national standard to calculate children's furniture
In the eyes of ordinary consumers, children's furniture is small, cartoon, and the size and design of the product will not take into account the child's actual age, and think that "buy a big point, you can use it for two more years." There are also many merchants in the market, which mix products that look like "children's furniture" in adult furniture, such as child-beds and small desks. However, experts pointed out that according to the "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture", children's furniture refers to furniture products that meet the needs of children aged 3-14. It has strict requirements on the safety of furniture, not looking at cute children's furniture. Therefore, when purchasing children's furniture, consumers should choose a regular business. As long as the merchant claims that the furniture can be used for children, it must comply with all aspects of the General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture. At the same time, if you are not sure that the furniture is suitable for large children, you should ask the merchant to provide the corresponding instruction manual. Children's furniture instructions should clearly indicate the applicable age range of the product, namely: “3~6 years oldâ€, “3 years old and above†or “7 years old and aboveâ€.
