Prices rise year after year Uneven quality "Children's furniture generally has to rise by about 20% every year.", Liu Xiaoxi, a children's furniture distributor, said that parents pay no attention to spending money on children. Small, now ordinary furniture sales shops can see children's furniture everywhere. "The reporter learned that although children's furniture is everywhere in the city, but well-known brands are limited, consumers mostly look at the price to determine the quality, so the more expensive the price, the higher the sales . The vast majority of children's furniture sold in our city is made of MDF, particle board and other boards. Only a small amount of children's furniture is made of solid wood. Most of the test reports attached to children's furniture only contain the harmful substance content of the board. Does not contain the content of harmful substances such as paint. It is understood that because children have active characteristics, they often touch the furniture with their hands and then suck their fingers. This common behavior can easily cause children to accidentally ingest a lot of harmful substances such as heavy metals. And children's absorption rate of heavy metals is very high, about 5 times that of adults. Therefore, in this new standard, in addition to the routine detection of the content of four toxic substances such as lead, mercury, chromium, and cadmium, children's furniture also requires the detection of the migrating elements antimony, barium, selenium, arsenic, etc. The sales staff said that most parents would require environmental protection, but the main concern is the content of formaldehyde and whether it is made of solid wood. Little is known about heavy metal elements. According to the new standard, for the first time, children's furniture is clearly defined as furniture products for children aged 3 to 14 years. And children's furniture must be clearly marked with the age group used, such as: "3 to 6 years old", "7 years old and above" and so on. In many stores, most manufacturers did not clearly mark the children's use on the furniture, nor did they see the seller mark the age group on the product. In other words, consumers can basically distinguish whether they are children's furniture based on whether they have cartoon shapes or color sizes. The safety of the design, which is also easily overlooked by consumers, is very strict in the new standard. According to market research, some small brands often do not have the design consciousness of safety, and many large brands cannot fully meet the requirements of the new standards. In a well-known children's furniture brand store, although their products have been passivated on the outer corners, there is still a certain gap between the requirements of the new standard: the length of all outer corners under 1.6 meters rounded at least 15mm. In addition, the new standard also stipulates that no glass can be installed on the ground or within 1.6 meters of the children's station. But many children's bookcases have glass doors or glass baffles in this area. Merchants engage in promotions Parents don't buy it In the face of the new standard, many furniture makers began to play promotional cards because of fears that their existing products would not meet the new standard, and even sold advertisements at a cost price. In response to the question of "Is the promotion going to dump inventory because of the implementation of the new national standard", the manager of a children's counter in a furniture store said that the counter only cares about sales and sells more. Manufacturers should be more concerned about the new relevant national standards. The introduction of discounts on spot inventory may already be understood by the new standard. Seller Wang Weiguo said that he has not received any notice from the headquarters regarding the "new national standard", and it is estimated that the new regulations should be aimed at furniture manufacturers. Since most of the furniture in the store is samples, consumers are optimistic about the samples and order according to the required size, so there is not much inventory in the furniture store. If the new standard is implemented, their arrival products will naturally be produced according to the new national standard. of. He said that before and after June 1st Children's Day, most of the children's furniture will have discounts and promotions with certain discounts, and this year's promotional efforts may be greater. "Once the standard is introduced, it means that some brands will be eliminated. The price reduction promotion is to withdraw from the market or upgrade the existing products. It is estimated that the price of children's furniture under the new standard will definitely be higher than that of the old standard. The cost has also increased. â€However, Wang Weiguo also said that these high prices are expected to continue only within one or two years after the implementation of the new standard. When the new standard furniture is standardized, standardized and mass-produced, the price will fall back. There are also many citizens who are unaware of the upcoming children ’s furniture standards. Mr. Zheng, who is buying children's beds, learned that the new standard will be implemented, and said he would like to wait for the implementation before buying. "Furniture after the implementation of the new standard is more reassuring, or wait to buy it after August." "Children's furniture is relatively expensive. I don't know what will happen after the new policy is introduced?" Ms. Miao, a citizen, said that her daughter always wanted to set children's furniture. "In fact, the price is not the most important issue, but it depends on whether the furniture is environmentally friendly and quality. How. "Several other parents also thought that they had to wait and see after they learned that the new standard was about to be introduced. Although some people predict that the price of children's furniture will increase, many citizens have expressed their expectations for the upcoming new standard of children's furniture.
