Plate, table top and hardware are the representative brands of the three main parts of the cabinet, which affect the quality of the cabinet.
The key is the material.
There is indeed a serious "stripping" situation in the cabinet industry. The styles are similar, but the internal quality is quite different. The die plate, paint board and substrate are all medium density fiberboard, but the cost difference between good medium density fiberboard and poor medium density fiberboard can reach 3 times. The cost of the film attached to the surface of the board can be 5 times different. But it is difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages from the surface alone. All they can do is stare at those particularly cheap cabinets.
Why can melamine board, referred to as MFC, become the mainstream of cabinet board?
"Iger" board is melamine board. When China was introduced from Germany ten years ago, it was difficult for domestic cabinet manufacturers to accept this new material. In fact, it has been used as a cabinet board in Germany for decades. Because of its strong nail grip, small deformation coefficient, high wear resistance and easy cleaning, it is suitable for kitchen environment. There is a scientific basis for choosing it.
Specialty is the guarantee of quality.
In the past, hardware such as sliding rails and hinges accounted for 5% of the overall cost of cabinets. It is said that it has now risen to 15%. If you use a brand like G*GRASS, it may reach 20%. Such as slide rails. Ordinary slide rails have only four pulleys, while imported advanced slide rails use pulley carts with 72 pulleys, which make the slide rails flow smoothly as if they were in the air. The slide rail is equipped with a shock absorber, so there will be a buffer before the drawer is closed, and the purpose is also to silence the sound. Environmental protection is very important, because kitchen materials should consider direct contact with food. Therefore, the surface of the slide rail needs food-grade treatment. In addition, imported slide rails will also notice many details. Some slide rails are designed to be detachable, so that you can easily remove the drawer panel and clean the inside of the drawer; The slide rail can also be designed to make the drawer "fully unfolded" to make full use of the space, without pulling out all the drawers to avoid pinching fingers. Hinges also have a lot of attention. Many foreign products, especially Austrian products, even the smallest things will strive to be very professional. Last year, G*GRASS invented the world's first integrated cushioning hinge and won the highest prize in the Cologne exhibition.
Details make quality.
There is no doubt that artificial stone is the main material of kitchen countertops, accounting for about 90% of the total. But the price of artificial stone countertops is really incomprehensible. The expensive one is 3,500 yuan per meter, and the cheap one is only 200 yuan to 300 yuan. What's going on here?
In addition to brand factors, the use of different raw materials is the main reason. The main component of artificial stone is resin. Saturated resin is used for imported artificial stones, and unsaturated resin is generally used for domestic artificial stones, so the cost is quite different. In terms of physical properties, saturated resin is thermoplastic, that is, it can be restored to its original state after heating, and unsaturated resin is thermosetting and fragile, that is, it is easy to crack after being made into a countertop. The structure of six-molecule saturated resin is three-dimensional and very compact, which not only firmly "bites" the pigment and is not easy to fade, but also is difficult to "absorb" the oil. The combination of flake structure of unsaturated resin and pigment is much worse. The curing agent with 99.9% purity is used for imported artificial stone, and 95% is generally used at most in China. The purity of chemicals has a great influence on the price. The higher the purity, the brighter the color of artificial stone, the purer the color, the more delicate and shiny it is. It is also pure white, and different brands of artificial stone give people different feelings. There are many minor differences in other details. The value of high-quality artificial stone is the aggregation of these details, and details create quality.
It is especially recommended not to buy artificial stones below 600 yuan per meter. Because the commercial profits in the circulation process are excluded, the cost of raw materials may be only 100 yuan, and the quality cannot be guaranteed at all.
Love home? Information about the Iger board
1. Attachment: Love home? Information about the Iger board
First, the production technology: love home? Aige board is made of coniferous trees in the Alps of continental Europe, and fresh logs are cut, crushed and compounded under high pressure, so as to ensure that the products fully meet the relevant provisions of ISO900 1 international quality management certification system and German industrial standard DIN.

Cabinet board
At present, the surface materials of cabinets on the market are very rich, and the most common ones are artificial fire boards, marble, artificial stones and so on, which are not easy to deform, fire and wear. Cabinets are divided into upper cabinets and lower cabinets, and the lower cabinets have countertops. There are three popular combinations in the market. Artificial stone for desktop and crystal for cabinet board are the most expensive combinations. The combination of desktop and door fireproof board belongs to the middle price; The cheapest is the combination of fireproof board desktop and fireproof board door panel. In addition, there are cabinets made of solid wood baking trays. Marble has a variety of patterns and colors, and its appearance is luxurious, but when it is used as a kitchen countertop, it will be soaked by oil from the pores on the surface and is not easy to clean. Artificial stone has many colors, gorgeous appearance and rich colors, and is the first choice for high-grade kitchen countertops.
Fire-resistant door panel:
Although there are insurmountable defects in the application of fireproof board on the countertop of kitchen cabinet, it has irreplaceable advantages in the application of kitchen cabinet door panel. Therefore, the reason why fire-proof door panels can last forever and occupy the leading position in the market share for a long time is determined by their comprehensive characteristics. Fireproof board has the characteristics of wear resistance, high temperature resistance, scratch resistance, permeability resistance, easy cleaning and bright color, which meets the requirements of kitchen cabinets, adapts to the special environment of kitchen, and caters to the development trend of "beauty and practicality" of kitchen cabinets. Therefore, when you buy a kitchen cabinet and choose a door panel, you should first consider the fire board. In the future use process, you will be glad that your choice is "rational consumption".
Solid wood door panel:
The kitchen cabinet door panel made of solid wood has the effect of returning to nature and simplicity. It is popular with foreigners and expensive, which is not suitable for the consumption power of the domestic market. Because solid wood door panels are not suitable for cleaning and have poor flame retardant performance, they are not suitable for home kitchen environment. It conflicts with our traditional living habits. Therefore, for a long time, solid wood door panels will not dominate the market.
Painted door panels:
When you buy a kitchen cabinet, some kitchen cabinet companies will introduce the painted door panel as "painted door panel". So what is a "painted door panel"? According to the information we have, the so-called "baking paint" for kitchen cabinet door panels only describes a process, that is, the door panel on the surface of the substrate is painted and then heated and dried in the drying room for painting treatment.
The advantages of door panel painting are the traditional method, simple process and low cost. Disadvantages are easy to get dirty and difficult to clean. We say that the kitchen cabinet environment in the kitchen is essentially different from that in the living room and other parts. When you choose the material of the kitchen cabinet door panel, you must fully consider the factor of "easy cleaning". Of course, if you consider the economic affordability, it is not bad to choose the lowest-priced painted door panel. The sales price of kitchen cabinets with painted doors should be around 1200 yuan/m (upper and lower cabinets). If it exceeds this price, there are two reasons. First, the company pursues unusually high profits, and second, it has no ability to make door panels, which belong to the form of "moving bricks", so it is not surprising that the price is high. I hope you can make a more comprehensive audit when choosing certification to avoid unnecessary losses.
PVC molded plastic door panel;
Carving and milling patterns with medium density as the base material. The surface layer is made of PVC veneer by hot pressing and plastic absorption. PVC formwork has the advantages of rich colors and unique shape. Compared with fire-resistant board, it has obvious shortcomings in easy cleaning and high temperature resistance. If practical considerations are emphasized, PVC template is not the most rational choice.
Crystal plate:
The surface may be bright, so it is named "crystal plate". The medium density board is used as the base material, and the surface is pasted with "plexiglass" (commonly known as Acre) with a thickness of about 2 ~ 3 mm ... Before pasting, it is painted to make the molded board have a discoloration ratio.
Glass plates have poor wear resistance, scratch resistance, flame retardancy and even worse stamping resistance. The processing technology of the wafer is simple. Almost by hand, after painting, coloring, pasting, manual edge sealing and slight polishing. The cost of raw materials is slightly lower than that of refractory board. If the sales price is low, it is also a feasible choice for people with low economic income.
Referring to the products and related materials made by kitchen cabinets in developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan, there is no precedent for using the so-called "crystal plate". We don't know whether it was used ten years ago or twenty years ago. Therefore, crystal plate is not an ideal material for kitchen door panels, and its comprehensive performance is not suitable for Chinese kitchen environment. Once used, you will definitely form a real feeling.
At present, the common cabinet panels on the market are painted board, mirror resin plate, plastic board, fire-proof board and three-plastic ammonia-hydrogen board. Manufacturers boast good wear resistance, water resistance and high temperature resistance. Is that really the case? Today, our test revolves around these five cabinet panels:
Test 1: Wear resistance
Many housewives like to wipe cabinets with rough surfaces such as scouring pads or steel balls. Now I really want to know, will such wiping leave ugly scratches on the cabinet panel? In other words, what is the wear resistance of these panels?
Test method: scrape these five panels with steel balls with the same force to test their wear degree.
Test conclusion:
In terms of wear resistance, mirror resin plate and spray-painted board have poor wear resistance, because their surfaces are smooth, so scratches in use will leave traces on the panel.
Melamine board, plastic board and fireproof board all have good wear resistance.
Test 2: Waterproof performance
In this kitchen, washing is essential, and you often have to deal with water. So what will happen to panels made of different materials after soaking in water? Let's have the next test today.
Test method: immerse these five panels in water for 24 hours to see their deformation degree.
Life Information Officer: Now 24 hours have passed. Let's see what changes have taken place in these cabinet panels.
Test conclusion: In terms of waterproof performance:
The waterproof performance of fire-proof board is the worst, and the deformation is serious after immersion, which is because the fire-proof board is formed by hot pressing.
Melamine board is generally waterproof and slightly swells after soaking in water.
Painted board, mirror resin plate and melamine board all have good waterproof and moisture-proof properties.
Test 3: High temperature resistance
Some cabinets in China are designed like this: the stove is close to the hanging cabinet. In this case, these hot gases will inevitably smoke on the hanging cabinet when cooking, so can it stand this panel? Let's test panels made of different materials. How about their high temperature resistance?
Test method: We use an electric iron heated to 100 degrees Celsius to simulate the influence of high temperature operation in the kitchen on the cabinets.
Test conclusion: In terms of high temperature resistance, the surface of plastic sheet has the worst high temperature resistance. Because its surface is PVC film, it will leave traces when it meets high temperature.
The high-temperature resistance of painted board and mirror resin plate is average, because it will change color after being heated, but the degree of color change will be greatly improved after a few minutes, and it will basically return to its original state.
Melamine board and fireproof board have the best high temperature resistance.
Life Information Officer: Through the comparison of these tests today, I believe you have understood the advantages and disadvantages of several common cabinet panels on the market, and we can easily draw the following test reports:
Test report:
Good wear resistance, water resistance and high temperature resistance.
Sketchpads are generally good.
Mirror resin plate is generally good.
Melamine board is good, but overall it is good.
The fire protection board is too bad.
Is the blister board good or bad?
Consumers who pursue fashion with high color requirements can choose a painted board or a mirror resin plate cabinet. However, due to its scratch resistance, they need to pay attention to maintenance.
If you have higher requirements for the shape of cabinet panels, you can choose plastic panels because they are rich in three-dimensional shapes.
Consumers who pursue simplicity and emphasize high quality and low price can choose melamine board as your cabinet.
If your kitchen has a high utilization rate, pays special attention to durability and is willing to sacrifice the beauty of some cabinets, then you can choose fireproof boards. -Closed circuit television
Fire-proof board uses melamine to stick the fire-proof board on the particleboard or surface, and its extended varieties are covered with metal frames at the edges. Features: 1, similar to fireproof board, resistant to friction, impact, high temperature, heat, acid and alkali, etc. 2, with a variety of colors and textures that imitate nature.
Disadvantages: there is no three-dimensional modeling, and the metal edge sealing and aluminum alloy groove handle only increase its decoration, which has little effect from the actual effect.
Paints are divided into baking varnish and polyester paint. Baking paint is composed of resin and additives, which can polish and polish paint. Polyester paint's stone paint process does not need baking, and the surface is matt and does not need polishing. What matters is firmness and adhesion. Good polyester paint falls off in the form of powder, and ordinary falls off in the form of fragments.
Solid wood is divided into pure solid wood, solid wood composite and solid wood veneer.
Pure solid wood: the consistency of tree species is high, the whole is natural and the effect is good; Solid wood composite: the visual effect of solid wood can also be achieved by using solid wood splicing materials as the base material and sticking solid wood skin on the surface; Solid wood veneer: Double-stick solid wood veneer on MDF surface.
The advantages of the latter two are to avoid the color difference and defects of surface raw materials, achieve the same texture and color effect, and are not easy to deform; Pure solid wood has high strength and long service life, and the latter two are more resistant to deformation, more beautiful, more luxurious and classical because of uniform moisture.
PVC (commonly known as blister) is pressed on the surface of the substrate by vacuum.
Advantages: it can have three-dimensional modeling. Due to the integral coating, it has good waterproof and moisture-proof performance, and there are many colors and patterns to choose from.
Disadvantages: the surface is easy to scratch and scratch. PVC is easy to deform because the moisture of glue will penetrate into the substrate during the gluing process. Not resistant to high temperature.
A crystal plate (plexiglass) is painted on the surface of the plate, and then plexiglass is attached. Because of its manual operation and the characteristics of plexiglass itself, it has all the shortcomings.
The plastic frame is mainly attached to the surface of the substrate, with some plastic decorative surfaces. Because this kind of material is mostly hand-operated, it is beautiful at first, rich in color and bright in color, but it exposes all its shortcomings in a short time, and it is easy to deform, fall off, distort and fade, and there are many clean dead corners.
1. Fireproof board (melamine board): Its advantages are hardness, scratch resistance, various colors, acid and alkali resistance and high temperature resistance.
2. Stainless steel: easy to clean, acid and alkali resistant, heat resistant and waterproof. But the color tone is cold and hard, and bad stainless steel will still rust.
3. Crystal board: it is a kind of colorful acrylic board, which is lively and bright in color, but easy to fade. Not resistant to collision, easy to scratch, afraid of water at the edge sealing.
4. Baked paint board: elegant and generous in color, belonging to high-grade building materials, but the level of baking paint is quite different. Be careful to buy second-hand goods at high prices. Its disadvantage is that it is expensive and not resistant to collision.
5, blister board: it looks like solid wood, the color is even than solid wood, and it will not be mixed with oil. Its disadvantage is that it is easy to open the glue if it is not compression molding by machine.
6, solid wood: noble and generous. However, it is easy to deform due to the influence of temperature and humidity, and it is not suitable for Chinese kitchens that are often used.
The thickness of the cabinet door is generally 18mm.
in public
Artificial stone countertop
It is made of natural ore powder+color masterbatch+acrylic resin adhesive through high temperature and high pressure treatment. Uniform texture, no pores, called polymer solid board. This kind of material conforms to the development trend of both aesthetics and practicality of cabinets, so it is called "the second generation material to replace other materials" in the industry. Such as DuPont "Kelinai" in the United States, "Kelaoli" in Japan, LG and Xideshi in South Korea.
Advantages: 1 Wear resistance, acid resistance, high temperature resistance, impact resistance, compression resistance, bending resistance, permeability resistance and other functions. The treatment of deformation, adhesion, turning and other parts is unique. 2. There are no pores on the surface, oil stains and water stains are not easy to penetrate, and the anti-pollution ability is strong. 3. Seamless bonding of any length. The two pieces are bonded and polished with the adhesive of the same material to be integrated. Suitable for cabinets that need longer countertops. 4. Easy to maintain. Surface scratches can be polished with 400 mesh spun yarn paper dipped in water.
Disadvantages: the price is higher.
Price: 400 yuan to about 2500 yuan/linear meter.
The artificial stone commonly known as "Monterey" in the market now refers to Monterey's "Milans Stone" series, which is pure and elegant in color, completely free of pores, completely seamless in splicing, absolutely environmentally friendly and hygienic, and easy to clean and repair; Avoid the shortcomings of natural stone, such as easy penetration, radiation, cold hand feeling, etc.
Authentic Monterey has 10 year quality guarantee, user manual and Monterey gold medal, and Monterey logo and English computer code are sprayed on the back of the plate! All Monterey products enjoy the 10 year quality guarantee. They can be used for cabinet countertops, bathroom countertops, windowsills, bay windows, bars and stair handrails.
In order to repay customers' trust and business support for Monterey products, our factory keeps the preferential price unchanged in the case of rising raw materials:
Monterey Milan stone: the purchase quantity starts from 3m, and the standard width is 450 yuan/linear meter (300mm-600mm).
Half price below 300mm; If it exceeds 600mm, 2% will be charged for each exceeding 1cm.
Special-shaped machining depends on the actual situation.
Self-protection during purchase: Attention: 1, check the authorization certificate, sign the purchase contract and affix the official seal. The brand and color of artificial stone should be stated in the contract. 2. Search the product inspection report and don't buy the "three noes" products. - 2004-06- 19
Natural stone countertops
High-grade granite in natural stone is the traditional raw material of cabinet countertops.
Advantages: high density, high hardness and wear resistance.
Disadvantages: 1 The length of natural stone cannot be too long, nor can it be made into a whole table. Two pieces of stitching can't fuse, and the gap is easy to breed bacteria. 2. Invisible natural cracks are easy to crack when the temperature changes sharply.
Fire board desktop
Commonly known as the fire board countertop, it is based on medium density board, particleboard and joinery board, and the fire board is pasted on the surface by planing, heating and pasting. At present, it has a certain market share.
Fire-proof board veneers for cabinet countertops are generally imported. Well-known brands in the market include American Fumeijia, Taiwan Province Sonnet, American Weiya, German Plate, Korean LG, etc. And there is little difference between performance and price.
Structurally, it can be divided into two types: ① The combination of rear water retaining and countertop is once formed, which is called "combination" and is widely used by domestic manufacturers at present. ② The countertop itself is not equipped with a rear water stop strip, but with an aluminum alloy water stop strip, which is called "combined" and is the mainstream in European and American markets (with waterproof rubber). When there is a corner, or the mesa appears U-shaped or even stepped to avoid the pipeline, the combined water deflector can flexibly handle this situation.
Advantages: bright color, wear resistance, scratch resistance, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance.
Disadvantages: 1 There is no effective treatment method for the corner table joint, and silica gel bonding, plastic and special metal strips are usually used to increase the appearance. 2. Because the tabletop is made of particleboard or medium density board, and the surface is formed by sticking a fireproof board, the tabletop is easily eroded by water and moisture, and improper use will lead to serious consequences such as degumming, deformation and expansion of the substrate. 3. The processing technology of straight edge bending of fire-resistant board leads to some limitations in shape change, adaptation to various room types and design requirements.
Fire-resistant board, as the material of cabinet countertops, will be restricted with the rise of other materials, but it conforms to the overall development law of cabinet industry and the national conditions of China. There is still a certain market.
Price: 200 yuan to 500 yuan/Yanmi.
Stainless steel countertop
Stainless steel is a traditional raw material for household cabinets and kitchen worktables, which once occupied a dominant position in the market.
Advantages: firm, easy to clean and practical.
Disadvantages: 1 Visually a little "cold" (or "cool"). 2. It is not easy to change, and there is a lack of reasonable and effective treatment methods at all corners and joints of cabinet countertops, which does not meet the special requirements of civil kitchen pipes.
Table top materials are an important part of cabinets. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, but it is not difficult to choose. For example, the length of the cabinet to be made in your home is more than 2.4 meters, and it is best to use artificial stone countertops because they can be seamlessly spliced together; If you pay attention to practicality and like modern metal effects, choose stainless steel; You are more economical, and the fireproof board is most suitable for you; You always pursue the cutting-edge trend, so artificial stone is the most promising and the future trend.
JS is very tricky
Where is the kitchen counter?
The first is the bottom plate.
The bottom of the kitchen cabinet is colorful, but many of them are fancy. Youqi is a moisture-proof board, which is actually a density board, which is what we usually call MDF. Experts know that the kitchen cabinet is mainly waterproof and connected with water pipes, and there is no need to be moisture-proof at all. In some areas in the north, kitchens don't even have floor drains. The so-called damp-proof board is only a little treated on the middle dense board. In fact, you can take a big heart-shaped board and try to dial some water to see if it will be deformed. No, then why bother to study the moisture-proof problems of particleboard and MDF? At this point, it would be much better if you asked the board manufacturer to know the price difference of caution board, big heart board and damp-proof board. Moreover, in the cost link, the processing difficulty, auxiliary materials and mechanical loss of moisture-proof board and particleboard are much lower than those of other boards. In the final analysis, it is still a word: money is at work. Of course, in places such as cupboard doors, we need to admit that the deformation resistance of MDF is higher than other plates, and it is understandable to use these materials in this part. But in terms of mechanical properties, it is almost enough, and it is not necessary to use it elsewhere.
Second, the countertop.
This is a large part of the cost, accounting for a considerable part of the cost of the whole kitchen cabinet. 1A linear meter kitchen cabinet in 800 yuan uses the best artificial stone countertops in China, and it should be made in 700 yuan. At present, the technological level of artificial stones in China is too mixed, and there is not much significant difference in appearance of these stones. This provides a great adjustment space for producers' profits. Because some almost domestic artificial stones cost only 300-500 yuan per linear meter. Calculated, there is a difference of two or three hundred yuan between a desktop and a meter. We can easily see colorful artificial stone samples in the stalls of various kitchen cabinet companies, so how many people know or try to know the performance differences of these stones? I believe the answer is zero, even for people in the kitchen cabinet industry, I believe this figure will not be very high.
Third, the panel.
The panel of the kitchen cabinet is also one of the main costs. What material is used for the panel has a lot to do with the cost. At this point, I think there is nothing to be picky about. Why do you say that? Because in addition to the quality problem, it also involves an aesthetic problem. At present, there are countless surface materials such as fireproof board, spray paint, fireproof paint and crystal plate. Among them, the surface layer of solid wood is also the floor material, which is consistent. At this point, it is relatively transparent. Why? Because it's so intuitive. Anyone can see the difference of this material at a glance, and consult different businesses to know the average price of a market. So this part is really unprofitable, unless it is handled with the bottom plate. So now all kinds of plates with integrated surface and bottom are born.
Fourth, accessories.
Accessories are not necessarily necessary, but the profit will be higher if they are matched. A top and bottom seasoning strip with a cost not exceeding 100 yuan, and the price is over 1300 yuan. I don't know if there are any patents in it, but the pricing is a bit outrageous. However, the common flat-pull seasoning stick is much lower. The faucet is another bottomless pit. The current market price of a faucet is five or six hundred yuan. I have seen a pure stainless steel whose price is 1200 yuan. It may be beyond my professional scope, so I don't know where the pricing standard is. The accessories of the sink will be more expensive because it involves some innovative functions. I think there are also patent factors in it, so it's hard to comment.
Speaking of which, the bottom plate said, the countertop said, the panel said, and the accessories also said. Everyone may think it's over. This is not over. What's the bigger problem?
The biggest trick is the manufacturing process.
Fifth, the manufacturing process is very difficult.
When we go to various building materials shopping malls, we will find "manufacturers" everywhere. Is that really the case? Not exactly. In fact, many kitchen cabinet shops are only used to pull orders, and they have no construction capacity themselves or their backstage. So where did the kitchen cabinets come from? Here is the contract system again. In fact, many shops take orders first, then transfer them to some small factories, and then use their own brand trucks to pull them over and install them. The installer is also a factory worker. Not the merchant's.
Maybe you can see another manufacturer come up with a stack of information and pictures, saying what advanced machines we have and how many square meters of production workshops we have. Yes, these materials may be true, but they are really not used to produce your customized kitchen cabinets. Including some big-name chain stores, after opening stores in various places, they sell the drawn orders to some local small factories. Rarely will it really be produced with such advanced equipment. Because these so-called advanced factories are far away, it is enough to transport goods. There is a very fashionable term: OEM.
Packing cabinet:
The next set: there are clear requirements for cabinet specifications, and "non-standard" needs to be paid extra. An integrated cupboard wrote in the advertisement: "The set meal includes a bottom cabinet of 3-3.3 linear meters and a top cabinet of 2-2.4 linear meters, a hook, a basket, a range hood, a cooker and three drawers." A complete set of cabinets contains all kinds of electrical appliances. Miss Li felt that the price was very affordable, so she paid the deposit from 200 yuan and waited for the designer to come to measure the design. After the drawings came out, the designer told her that the standard cabinets of the company were 350×450×600 cm. According to the characteristics of her kitchen, the size of the cabinets should be shortened, so the price of each cabinet should be increased by 50 yuan, which is several hundred pieces more than the promised price of the set meal. It is said that it is very common to divide cabinets into standard and non-standard in the industry, reminding consumers to ask clearly before buying.
The second set: designers are secretive and tired of cats, and consumers don't know the details. Mr. Liu also bought a cupboard. At first, the designer kept it a secret and didn't tell him the truth about the charges. Mr. Liu thinks that the partition between the range hood and the microwave oven or disinfection cabinet does not belong to the package cabinet, and agrees with the designer's design scheme. However, when the cabinet is completed, it is known that the above part is charged according to the full price of the hanging cabinet and the bottom cabinet, so the hanging cabinet part is beyond the scope of packaging regulations, and the original unit price should be charged separately. In a rage, Mr. Liu found that there was no cupboard door on the range hood, and there was at least a gap of 2-3 cm between it and the range hood after installing the cupboard, like a big mouth grinning. Mr. Liu thinks that since it is a hanging cabinet to charge, it should be no problem to install a ceiling for it. After installation, the designer said that this partition would cost more 100 yuan, and the cabinet bought by Bao was not much cheaper than that bought by Yan Mi.
Part 3: Hardware in "Switch" Package
In the exhibition hall, the hinges of the whole cabinet are all made of seabed stone: drawers are easy to open and rebound automatically, and the hardware such as baskets and hinges have good texture. What about the set meal that can be bought back? The drawer doesn't draw back at all, and the feeling of pulling it out is also very astringent! To be sure, the hardware has been switched. The salesperson changed the original promise (exactly the same as the sample) and said that in order to reduce the price, the package naturally reduced some configurations, and some hardware might be made in China.
Sign a detailed contract and write everything clearly.
Some insiders said that in fact, most building materials packages are a marketing model of small profits but quick turnover, which is beneficial to consumers. However, there are indeed unscrupulous merchants who use the unfamiliar situation of consumers and use the "package" to deceive consumers. Experts suggest that the whole cabinet is several thousand yuan cheaper and ten thousand yuan more expensive, so it's best to ask more before buying and write your concerns in the contract in detail. Once a dispute arises, you can safeguard your rights and interests through the contract.
