Solid wood furniture Haikou sales are bleak

Solid wood furniture up 15%

On the 15th, the reporter of the Commercial Daily came to a furniture city in Nanhai Avenue, Haikou City. In front of the furniture city, there were workers carrying mattresses. On the first floor, there were real wooden tables and chairs and cabinets. The reporter learned that the 1.2-meter solid wood wardrobe costs 850 yuan, while the 1.6-meter solid wood wardrobe costs 1300 yuan.

A boss who asked not to be named said that these solid wood furniture are mainly from Guangdong, and the price of furniture has not fallen once this year. In just one week last month, there were manufacturers who called her three times and called the price increase three times in a row. Solid wood furniture has risen by more than 100 yuan, especially for furniture with good style and good workmanship. Manufacturers have demanded price increases.

Although a furniture square in Longkun South Road, Haikou City is doing promotional activities, the reporter visited and found that solid wood furniture is rare to participate in promotional activities. A salesperson said that the price of solid wood furniture has increased to a certain extent. A certain brand of furniture began to raise prices from November 10, an increase of 15%. The reporter saw a solid wood table with a price of 4,280 yuan and a chair with a price of 700 yuan.

Raw material price increase is the main cause

The above-mentioned boss who does not want to be named believes that the most critical factor in the price increase of furniture is the rise in raw materials. Against the background of the increasing global demand for protecting the ecological environment, the illegal logging is becoming more and more illegal, and the production of wood has decreased. In addition, the increase in labor costs is also directly grafted to consumers.

Ms. Zhang, a salesperson of a home plaza on Longkun South Road, also expressed similar views. In addition, she believes that the increase in freight rates is also a reason that cannot be ignored. She said that some furniture sold in Hainan is a few hundred dollars more expensive than the mainland. The main reason is that it is inconvenient to transport furniture to Hainan.

It is understood that this year's abnormal climate has also led to a decline in the overall amount of wood felling, and the shortage of raw materials will naturally trigger the price increase of the downstream furniture industry.

So, how should consumers deal with the rising price of furniture? The store gives advice on this: the furniture can be booked at least one month in advance and the manufacturer, and the price at the time of arrival is subject to the price of the reservation. Even if the price increases again, consumers should not worry. For example, a brand of furniture and a set of four chairs now have an activity price of 2,480 yuan. If the consumer places an order, the price of the goods after one month is 2,480 yuan.

Why is the furniture market near the end of the year?

In a furniture city in Nanhai Avenue, the reporter found that the bosses of multiple shops on the first floor are basically reading newspapers or chatting. The 3rd floor store, which specializes in mahogany furniture, can basically be described by the coldness of the door. It is rare to see the figure of the people picking furniture.

A shop owner told reporters that there are still two months to go through the New Year. At this time last year, she and the clerk were so busy that they had no time to eat, and they were greeting customers and transferring goods. Basically all the staff in the mall are very busy. And now she is sitting in the store and is asleep. She concluded that the business in the first half of this year was still decent, but the business in the second half of the year was very depressed.

Will the business be better on weekends? She said that the peacetime was almost bleak on weekends and the popularity did not increase at all. "I don't open the door sometimes on weekends." Wu boss, who specializes in mahogany furniture on the 3rd floor, said that it is normal to not open the market for four days. Compared to previous years, the market for this year is very poor. Boss Wu did not do mahogany furniture business last year, but he said that this year's business was incomparable with the business of the previous year. At that time, it was busy all the year, and now it is idle all year round.

Near the end of the year, the citizens who want to decorate the house or the citizens who need to change furniture should act now, but why did the reporter see the scene of depression in the furniture city?

Many bosses said that the furniture industry and real estate are closely related. Last year, the furniture industry was booming because of the many houses sold last year. This year, the Hainan property market has cooled down, and the furniture industry has naturally followed the depression.
