As the weather warmed, many parents began to consider relocating their children's rooms and replacing children's furniture. However, when I went to the furniture store, I found that all kinds of products were varied, and the salespersons also insisted on each word. In addition, some children’s furniture safety problems were frequently exposed, which made many parents confused when purchasing children's furniture. How should children's furniture be selected? ? The reporter recently visited the furniture market in the island city.
Furniture selection expert
So, how should consumers choose children's furniture? “It is best to buy branded products and buy them in branded home stores.†The staff of Qingdao Furniture Association told reporters that no matter what kind of materials, as long as they are strictly in accordance with relevant national standards, they can meet environmental standards and can be worry-free. use. In terms of paint, the state has introduced a mandatory building materials product certification system, and some major domestic brands have also launched green paints. It is undeniable that a considerable number of small enterprises use inferior plates and inferior paints in order to achieve greater profits. At present, colored furniture on the market is still mixed. In his view, the quality of a product that is truly a brand must be the first consideration, and the design aspect will be unique. “Even if something goes wrong, it’s easier to pursue it.â€
Experts in the industry suggest that there are three safety-related details when choosing furniture for children: First, don't buy furniture with large pieces of glass and mirrors. Since most children are lively and active, in case the glass breaks, It is easy to hurt the child; the second is to choose a children's bed with a wooden bed and a hard spring bed, to avoid the child's skeletal deformity caused by the soft bed; the third is that the column gap of each bed should be controlled at 7 cm. The distance tested, the bed gap is too large or too small, it is easy to get stuck in the head or hands and feet, causing unnecessary damage. According to reports, many unqualified children's furniture are in these aspects, and these problems have been ignored by many companies.
The quality supervision department reminds parents that when purchasing children's furniture, they should pay attention to checking whether the furniture work is fine, and the edge should not have the feeling of cutting hands; when purchasing the panel furniture, you can open the drawer and check whether there is any unpleasant smell. If you need to install it at home, you should sign a contract with the seller and make it clear that if there is a serious smell, it is responsible for replacement. In addition, you can also carefully check the product's instructions for use, see if the content is detailed, and whether the design is reasonable. "Generally good furniture companies pay more attention to the instructions for use and will write them carefully."
Competitive furniture manufacturers dismantle each other
At a furniture store in Zhenjiang Road, the reporter saw Mr. Li, who is choosing furniture for his children. He told reporters that in order to buy furniture for his children, he has been in the furniture stores of the island city for four or five days. Because of security issues, he has been letting He hesitated. "All brand sales people say that their products are the safest, but is this 'dictation' safe and trustworthy?"
Mr. Li said that the children's furniture he saw on the market was mostly made of sheet or pine, and the sales staff dismantled each other in order to promote their own products. The salesman who sells the children's furniture of the plate told him that when the pine is made into furniture, the pine oil in the wood needs to be soaked out, and the material that soaks the pine oil contains more highly toxic substances, and the furniture for the plate is safe; one sells solid wood children's furniture. The salesman said that the plate is made of high temperature and glue, and may not taste when purchased. However, the toxic substances contained in it are chronically volatilized, which will cause long-term damage to children. They should buy solid wood furniture.
In addition, the safety of children's furniture used to make Mr. Li confused. Look at the metal or wooden handles on many children's furniture; the beautiful design that protrudes from the furniture surface; the exposed hardware parts... how can these make him not worry.
Children's furniture safety problems are frequently exposed, which is even more confusing for parents to buy children's furniture. According to incomplete statistics, in the past two years, there have been more than 40 children's furniture manufacturers with certain popularity in the country, which have “fallen†in various quality inspections. Despite the fact that there are hundreds of children's furniture manufacturers in the country, the ratio of unqualified companies in the industry is still very small, but big-name companies have frequent safety hazards, making it safer for the most vulnerable and least self-protecting children in society. Without protection, we must not let people worry.
Coping with "safe" parents
In the interview, the reporter found that many parents have turned their attention from the style of furniture to the environmental protection and safety of furniture when choosing furniture for children. When it is not possible to determine whether the furniture is safe, parents will use their own solutions.
Ms. Liu, who just bought a combination bed for her children, asked the installer to put the newly purchased furniture directly into her garage. I plan to put the furniture in the garage for half a year before I use it for my children. “The salesperson can give the child a week after being placed. I think it will be better to put it for a while. After all, the health of the child is the most important.†Ms. Liu said that since last year, she has seen it frequently in the media. She reported that she was very worried about the report on the passing rate of children's furniture sampling. Although she had seen the manufacturer's quality inspection report when she bought furniture for her children, she decided to put the newly purchased furniture on hold for a long time. The reporter found that "advance" purchase is a common solution for many parents, in addition, parents will also buy some bamboo charcoal and other materials placed on the furniture.
For the safety of use, many parents use some cloth, cotton jewelry to wrap parts with safety hazards. At the home of Ms. Zhou of Fenghua Road, the reporter saw that she used her own skill to relieve many safety hazards in her daughter's room furniture. She made a cotton flower cover on the handle of the closet, and a thick cotton pad on the back of the tablecloth to block the corners of the table. Ms. Zhou told reporters that these "safe" details are all developed in the mother group or in the parent-child forum.
New rules for children's furniture are expected to be implemented this year
In the interview, many people in the industry said that after the implementation of the National Compulsory Standards for General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture, which was approved at the end of last year, the confusion caused by quality problems and the physical health disputes may be greatly reduced.
It is reported that Zhu Changling, vice chairman of the China Furniture Association, said that the new standard for children's furniture is expected to be implemented in the second half of this year. It can be said that it is a major event in the industry, which has filled a gap in the industry well. It was only related to individual products. Explain, and the new standard introduced this time will cover children's furniture widely and has versatility. Among them, the scope of the children's furniture and the safety of the details are clearly defined, which can be said to affect the development trend of children's furniture in the future.
In response to the upcoming implementation of the general standards for children's furniture, Zhu Changling revealed that it clearly pointed out that children's furniture is suitable for the age of 3-14 years old, which further limits the market scope of children's furniture. Moreover, the standard also clearly defines the safety and environmental protection of children's furniture. The stability of children's furniture products, whether the edges are sharp, the size of the gap, the folding structure, etc. are clearly defined, and the relevant details will also be floated before implementation. Out of the water. It is also pointed out that children's furniture with closed cabinets should have a breathable function. In addition, the new standard also imposes strict regulations on harmful gases, including formaldehyde emission and volatile harmful gases.
Faced with the previous testing standards for children's furniture and adult furniture chaos, this time children's furniture standards have been clearly defined, and many consumers have also agreed. According to a consumer who chooses children's furniture, the standard of children's furniture is refined, and the problems that easily affect children's health are clearly pointed out. Therefore, when choosing, there is more reference.
