What's wrong with the furniture industry?

Since the development of the furniture industry, the history of 30 years is not long or short. It can be said that the speed of development is very fast. However, compared to other industries, the furniture industry is still unable to stand upright and says that it is a “big industry” because of what?

Furniture stores closed one after another In mid-September, Home Depot, the world’s largest retailer of furniture and building materials, closed all seven stores in China. Before this, news of the closing down of furniture and building materials stores continued to spread. In Beijing alone, since March of this year, one of the eight lighting cities in Beijing has changed from Bafanglong Lighting City to the flower and bird market, including Beijing Xinglong Furniture Building Materials City, Jinkai Leader City Furniture, Oriental Homeland Lishuqiao Store, and Baianju Bridge.

After-sales service does not stipulate the warranty period. Currently, the country does not have uniform warranty provisions for furniture and building materials. Generally, the agreement between the enterprise and the consumer prevails. The industry generally agrees that the customary furniture warranty period is 1 year, and some companies extend the period to 3 to 5 years.

The one-year warranty is short, the warranty terms are demanding, the nationwide warranty is difficult to deliver, and the door-to-door time is delayed. Such problems can cause consumers to be a headache for the furniture industry. According to a sample survey conducted by relevant departments, less than 20% of consumers have enjoyed furniture warranty services. This data shows that there is a big gap between the furniture industry and the after-sales warranty of mature industries such as home appliances and communications.

Xiao Bian thinks that it is necessary to establish a system of standards and regulations and strictly punish fraud. Only the standardization and standardization of the industry can guarantee the long-term sustainable development of the furniture industry, otherwise it will be eliminated by the times and competition. Today's market competition economy with survival of the fittest forces companies to continuously strengthen management standardization to achieve scientific management and modern management and improve competitiveness. The level of standardization is a reflection of the level of national science and technology and economic development. It is also an important indicator of the level of management of a country and a company. With the expansion and development of international trade, standardization has become an important tool for international market competition. While seriously concentrating on product standardization and technical standardization, the company attaches great importance to and strengthens management and standardization of enterprises.
