What are the benefits of repair and refurbishment of furniture? The reporter asked the furniture industry professionals and integrated the opinions of several respondents with furniture renovation needs to summarize the following two advantages:
One is to save money and reduce waste.
Some old furniture of old age are made of solid wood. They are made of wood such as eucalyptus, ash, eucalyptus, etc. The texture is firm and the function is not reduced. If it is only because of partial damage or backward style, it will be sold at low cost, even when it is Garbage disposal is very wasteful. Conversely, if repairs are properly refurbished, you can save on the cost of repurchasing furniture. In addition, if the quality of old furniture repairs can be refurbished to a certain level, entering the specialized second-hand trading market will also be welcomed by some consumers with limited capital budget.
The second is to reduce pollution and achieve environmental protection.
According to information, the carbon dioxide emissions from the manufacture of a new furniture product are 1,000 times that of refurbished similar furniture. Today, the whole society advocates energy conservation and emission reduction. By repairing and renovating old furniture, it can reduce the plunder of forest resources caused by the manufacture of new furniture, especially solid wood furniture, reduce environmental pollution and realize the concept of environmental protection.
Maintenance of the refurbishment market, small problems, and more than three "blind spots" make the people discouraged. Since people have a need for furniture repair and renovation, what is the extent to which these needs are met?
Mr. Liu mentioned in the previous article can not find any manufacturers of refurbished furniture near his home, and the forum should also be awkward. After receiving the call for help from Mr. Liu, the reporter and him contacted the relevant information online and contacted the relevant enterprises, but the result was very disappointing. The survey found that although there are quite a lot of information about the furniture renovation business published online, most of them are for office furniture and do not undertake scattered personal business. Ms. Yin, who has always wanted to find a furniture repair company, has encountered a similar situation.
With the deepening of the investigation, the reporter found that the current furniture repair and renovation market is still immature, and various irregularities have led consumers to have demand, but they can only be discouraged. "Blind Point 1" - the relevant qualifications are difficult to believe that the current well-known furniture manufacturers in Beijing are only responsible for the after-sales warranty and maintenance of their own furniture, almost no maintenance and renovation of other brands of furniture, and the release of information on the Internet to undertake the renovation business Most of the manufacturers are small in scale, consumers are unheard of, and they are hard to fully trust their qualifications and reputation.
The reporter searched online for more than a dozen furniture repair and renovation companies, and logged on to the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce for inquiries and found that none of these companies were registered. The staff of a furniture repair company told reporters on the phone: "To tell you the truth, the furniture repair company in Beijing did not go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register."
The reporter saw on the website of a furniture repair company that the company claimed to be a member of the "China Furniture Association" and displayed a picture of the member's bronze medal. The reporter then dialed the telephone number of the China Furniture Association. Chen Baoguang, the vice chairman of the association, said that their membership system is like this - the provincial associations are their group members, such as the Beijing Furniture Association, members of the group membership development can be Automatically recognized as a member of the China Furniture Association.
The reporter immediately dialed the telephone number of the Beijing Furniture Association. Yu Xiusu, the vice president of the association, told reporters that the members of the association are all furniture design, production, production and sales companies, as well as related institutions, and there is no furniture repair company. The furniture repair company claimed to be a member of the "China Furniture Association" practice of false propaganda.
"Blind Point 2" - lack of quality and after-sales protection. Regardless of the business qualifications of these furniture repair and renovation companies, can the technology, quality and after-sales that consumers care about be effectively protected? When negotiating with a company contact person who mainly paints and refurbished furniture, the reporter's request for color change scheme and environmental protection paint has been fully guaranteed by the other party. However, when the reporter proposes to sign the contract in advance, the contact person replies: "We have been renovating furniture for several years, and we have a reputation. It is necessary to sign a contract. You can rest assured..." When it comes to quality assurance after renovation, the other party said that refurbished furniture is a one-time service and there is no after-sales service.
In the contact with several furniture repair companies, whenever a reporter asks if an invoice can be issued, the answer is mostly “We don’t have an invoice.†And when the reporter asks if there is no invoice, if there is an after-sales problem, what is the consumer’s credentials? At the time, many staff members said that "nothing, if you have a problem, just call us and we will go to the house for free." Because most of these companies' websites are only "Five Roads", "Daxing Old Palace Town", "Haidian" Such a fuzzy address, when the reporter expressed the wish to get the detailed address of the company or the business store, to understand the specific situation, the other party often flashes its words, "local far, not easy to find" or "don't look, we It’s okay to find you in the past.â€
No contract, no invoice, no company address... How can people be assured of such companies? Once a quality problem or after-sales service problem arises, can the consumer's road to rights protection go smoothly? "Blind Point 3" - lack of standards for fees Not only the qualifications and quality of service make consumers feel "not reliable", the lack of uniform standards for fees also makes people feel unfounded.
Take the chair of Ms. Yin’s family that broke the base plate as an example. The prices of different furniture repair companies vary, and the difference is large. The quotation of a company is more than 200 yuan for home repair. I want the invoice to be purchased with an additional 5% fee. The price of another company is about 120-130 yuan. If the owner can send the furniture to the South Fourth Ring. At the designated location, the price can be reduced to 100 yuan; other companies say that the home repair cost is 100 yuan, if you need to replace the chair bottom, you have to add another amount.
In terms of furniture refurbishment, the price is generally not low, and the lack of a standardized price system is also a place where consumers feel at a loss. Ms. Zhao, who wants to renovate one big and one small two-piece leather sofa, told reporters that she had found relevant companies to ask for quotations and learned that if domestic painting was used, the cost would be around 1,000 yuan; if the mid-range leather was replaced, It costs more than 2,000 yuan; if you want to replace a better leather, the cost will be more. In addition, the transportation costs for sending the sofa to the refurbished factory are also borne by the owner. In this way, the cost of renovating the sofa is not much lower than the cost of buying a new one, so she has given up on this idea.
In addition, the current furniture renovation is mainly based on surface polishing, paint coloring and sofa reinforcement, and face-changing. There are few personalized services such as transforming the structure and function of the furniture. If the old furniture with backward style is only surface refurbished, it still cannot be fully satisfied. Consumer demand.
Consumer repairs and renovations, no old furniture, where to go. With the changes of time, the use of functions, the damage of parts, furniture will be updated. Every year, a large amount of new furniture is poured into the sales market, and a large number of furniture are aging and damaged. Since there is no mature and standardized furniture repair and renovation market, where do these old furniture finally go?
A small part of the old furniture has a good "home" because of its special value. In some citizens' homes, old furniture with rosewood, red sandalwood and other materials has become the darling of the old furniture collection market. After all, this kind of wood is of high quality and rare in quantity, and can sell higher prices when entering the second-hand furniture market. Lujiaying, Panjiayuan, and Zhaojia Chaowai's old furniture market are all well-known distribution centers.
In the famous Gaobeidian antique furniture street, many stores hang the signboard of “high price acquisitionâ€. As long as the furniture material is precious, it will not be a buyer. If the craft is fine, it is even more popular. After the purchase of such furniture, the merchants will carry out small-scale repairs and renovations, and then sell them to consumers with collection needs, and the profits are considerable. It can be said that this is a high-end market with a very small proportion of old furniture, and has formed a certain scale and industrial chain.
In addition to high-grade old furniture, it is the old material that accounts for the vast majority of ordinary materials. For furniture that is more old and damaged, many families directly throw it away as garbage. After the furniture is transported to the garbage disposal station, it is dismantled, classified, mixed into domestic garbage and compressed, and then landfilled. According to statistics, Beijing has discarded dozens of tons of furniture every year, mainly based on wooden furniture and sofas. These discarded furniture not only waste resources, but also increase the difficulty of garbage disposal.
Old-fashioned furniture is often sold to the flea market, or sold at a very low price of 5 yuan for a wooden chair, 10 yuan for a TV cabinet, and so on.
In the northern flea market in Jingxi, the reporter saw that there were many old furniture scattered for sale. A 50% new bamboo folding chair is priced at 50 yuan, and a 60% new two-piece old wardrobe is priced at 200 yuan. If the buyer has patience, the price can be "grounded" lower. In the warehouse not far away, many old furniture that had just been purchased were stored in a mess, and several workers were working with tools such as planes, hammers and sandpaper.
A shop owner told reporters that the main reason for coming to buy old furniture is migrant workers, young people renting houses and college students. They will not live for a long time. It is cheap to visit here. “There are still some furniture that have been sold to rural areas farther away. These things can be used for repairs and are welcomed by many farmers.â€
In this way, although the old furniture of ordinary materials is numerous, it can only be “retained†by the garbage disposal station, the old goods market, and the rural market, forming another low-end market. If you can damage the appearance, but use the old furniture that still functions to repair and refurbish, enter the urban general consumer market, the space of this mid-end market is not small. However, the fact is that this mid-market is almost blank.
High cost, thin profit and large-scale production are difficult to form. There is a clear demand for consumers. It seems to be a “gold mine†to be developed. Why does the furniture maintenance and renovation market have the same “chicken ribsâ€, and the development speed is slow?
Zhang Dahong, director of the engineering department of Shengde Decoration Group, who has many years of experience in decoration construction and supervision, told reporters that many of the many consumers he has contacted have the need to repair and renovate furniture. This situation aroused his concern a few years ago, and has been discussed with people in the same industry many times, but currently there is nothing to do.
Zhang Dahong analyzed several factors that restrict the development of furniture repair and refurbishment market. First of all, the technical level of furniture repair and refurbishment requirements has not been simplified because the object is old furniture. Even the most common paint modification needs to be polished. Many steps, such as stripping, the workers are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and they cannot damage the furniture itself. If you want to personalize the furniture structure, the requirements for workers' technology are even higher. Secondly, due to the complexity of the process, repairing and refurbishing furniture requires more labor and materials, and the cost is also increased. The resulting price is difficult for consumers to accept (especially those who would like to save and renovate furniture to save money). ). In addition, the large-scale maintenance and renovation of furniture requires the transportation of old furniture from the consumer's home to the relevant factory, and the resulting transportation and venue costs are also problems. Yu Xiusu, vice president of the Beijing Furniture Association, also expressed similar views on this issue. She believes that under the current conditions, merchants are reluctant to form a large-scale industry because of the high cost of furniture renovation and low profits. However, it is more hopeful to find a standardized enterprise with scale. These two aspects are mutually constrained, which has led to many problems in the furniture repair and renovation market. In addition, today's mass-produced new furniture is trying to get close to the public in terms of quality and price, which further squeezes the existence of the repair and renovation market.
However, it should not be overlooked that in recent years, the furniture industry has prospered along with the development of the real estate industry. As the number of new furniture continues to increase, a large number of old furniture will also be born. Maintenance and renovation of furniture can be counted as a “virgin landâ€. If people with vision can aim at this market, they should take the first step of large-scale and low-cost operation. I believe that they can both “real gold†and recycle resources. Use and contribute to environmental protection.
Turnstile Gate
Turnstile gates are a kind of passage blocking device (passage management equipment), mainly used in urban rail transit management, used to manage the flow of people and regulate pedestrian access.
According to the difference in the number of core and arresting bodies contained in the same gate, the gate can be divided into single core (including 1 core and 1 arresting body) and double cores (including 2 cores and 2 arresting bodies in a symmetrical form). According to the difference of the blocking body and the blocking method, it can be divided into Tripod Turnstile Gate, Swing Turnstile Gate, Flap Turnstile Gate, speed turnstile gate, full turnstile gate, Sliding Turnstile Gate, etc.
