The kitchen is the top priority for home renovations. Those custom-made whole cabinets are common for tens of thousands of sets, and in some high-end imported cabinet specialty stores, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of whole cabinets are not new. In the home furnishing industry, overall cabinets can be said to be the latest and most popular kitchen furniture, which is an indispensable expense for most consumers when they are renovating, but it is also the item that consumers least understand. one.
Industry insiders revealed to reporters that consumers are most likely to fall into the traps elaborately designed by dealers when buying overall cabinets.
Pitfall 1: Low-price soliciting, add money when installing
Daming told reporters that when consumers choose cabinets, they must see the price tag of “×× 元 / 延米†the most. In fact, the fees for custom cabinets vary from house to house. Some merchants have included all the equipment except the water basin, stove and other equipment in the quotation, including the slide rail used for the basket, the handle of the cabinet door and the hardware hinge. Some manufacturers only report the basic quotation of the cabinet. If you want to make another drawer or install the basin by the manufacturer, you will be charged separately. The difference is huge.
"Sometimes when consumers look at this cabinet, the quality of the cabinet is similar to that of the cabinet. The quotation of this cabinet is 1800 yuan / yanmi. If the quotation of that cabinet is 1500 yuan / yanmi, the consumer chooses the lower one. The contract was also signed, and the deposit was paid. When it was delivered to the door for installation, it was found that the damping hinge would cost extra, the PVC support would cost extra, the basket would cost extra, and the aluminum skirting would cost extra. , The handle also has to pay extra. In short, the quotation of 1500 yuan / Yanmi is not the real price at all. Taking an 8 square meter kitchen as an example, the cabinets generally need to be about 3 meters long, and consumers thought they only need to pay 1500 Yuan / Yanmi × 3m, which is the total price of 4,500 yuan. However, its actual expenditure may double to about 9,000 yuan. The merchant will also say that all cabinet merchants are quoting like this, â€Daming said.
Daming said that many unscrupulous businesses use their own reduced cabinets, compared with others who have fully configured cabinets. This kind of marketing method of winning customers with low quotations, intentionally leaving many invisible additions, and then "over-the-counter asking prices" during actual installation is common in cabinet dealers. Consumers are often pitted because they do not know how to price cabinets. He told reporters that consumers must ask dealers what items are included in the quotation, and write it in the contract, and then strictly follow the contract.
Pitfall 2: Plates are fake and inferior, lie to you without consultation
Daming said that dealers usually use discounts to kill consumers to attract consumers to buy, which is often the most effective way. But in essence, the discount is difficult to reflect the essence of the cabinet, and will also stun consumers' original calm mind. For example, a whole cabinet is publicly marked with a discount of 20% or less, but in fact, it may be "inferior to people" in material or "short in weight" in size.
Daming told reporters that one of his friends had been caught like this. He bought cabinets from a cabinet merchant, and the merchant promised that the real materials would satisfy him. After installing the cabinets, he couldn't see any problems, but he asked Daming to be a staff officer, and he found that he was fooled-the cabinets bought for tens of thousands of yuan, but the cabinet material was quietly changed by the manufacturer, not the expert. Not coming out.
Daming told reporters that some manufacturers promised consumers E0 grade plates, but quietly changed the plate material to E1 grade, even E2 grade. In this way, a cabinet can have a price difference of several hundred yuan, which provides a lot of adjustment space for the profit of the business. Consumers are almost indistinguishable by the naked eye, and Daming teaches everyone a trick—propose to visit the manufacturers.
He said: "A beautiful exhibition hall does not mean strong strength. Ask if you can visit the factory. The cabinet is a complete industrialized industry and needs to have an industrial foundation. The photos of the factories and machinery on some company promotional materials are virtual, or It ’s actually a small workshop with handicrafts. The machinery and equipment have a great influence on the production capacity and the quality of the workpieces. Almost all big foreign brands are equipped with heavy machinery production lines. Even if you do n’t really want to go Throw this question and judge whether the other party welcomes you. In fact, if you choose a local manufacturer, consumers may wish to go to the manufacturer and directly ask to see where the E0 grade sheet is, depending on the plate Purchase orders and even customs declarations. Generally, merchants will organize these documents in the office and indicate which batches are used in which batches of plates. As long as you dare to show you, you will understand at a glance. "What if the manufacturer is too far?" Daming said that he can only get a small piece of material from the unobtrusive corner of the cabinet and send it to the inspection department for inspection to identify the authenticity of the material.
Trap 3: The price difference between the countertops is large, and the quartz stone is also fake
Countertops account for a large portion of the cost of the entire cabinet. Daming told reporters that for a cabinet with a price of 1,800 yuan for a long meter, if you use the best artificial stone countertops made in China, it will cost more than 500 yuan. However, at present, the craftsmanship level of the domestically produced artificial stone is uneven, and some slightly inferior domestically produced artificial stones only cost two to three hundred yuan per linear meter. One table can extend the price of several hundred yuan for a long meter, which provides a lot of space for the profit of the business.
Daming said that the countertops have the closest contact with food, and the durability and antibacterial properties of the countertops directly affect people's daily lives. So it is very important to choose a good table. The current countertops are mainly made of three materials, namely natural stone (marble or granite) and artificial stone. "I suggest that you choose artificial stone, that is, quartz stone. Because natural stone itself is radiant and not as hard and strong as artificial stone. Moreover, the length of natural stone is usually not long, so if you want to make a long whole The countertops (especially U-shaped and L-shaped countertops) will definitely have seams. These seams are particularly easy to hide dirt. "
How to choose good artificial stone? He told reporters that the first thing to look at is the smoothness, and the second thing is to see how many transparent crystal particles are in the artificial stone. Generally, the more crystal particles, the better. He also reminded everyone, "Be sure to specify in the contract that quartz stone with a thickness of 15 mm is required, otherwise the merchant may replace it with quartz stone with a thickness of 12.7 mm, which is far less durable and serviceable than the former."
The most important thing to guard against is the use of fake quartz stone instead of quartz stone by bad merchants. Daming said: "There is no difference in appearance between fake quartz stone and true quartz stone. But true quartz stone is made of 94% quartz and 6% resin , The hardness is very high, and the fake is made of marble powder and resin, its hardness is much inferior, once used in home life, it is likely that the countertop cracks. True quartz stone has strong high temperature resistance, 300 The temperature below the Celsius degree will not have any effect on it; and the pseudo-quartz stone contains a large amount of resin, so it is easy to deform and burn when it encounters high temperature. "
Daming teaches readers to distinguish true and false quartz stones, "Use a drop of toilet cleaner to drop on the quartz stone table. If bubbles occur, it is fake! Real quartz stone will never have these conditions."
