In 2023, the highest quality natural marble dining table will be called a luxury stone dining table. How to avoid pitfalls in terms of channels and prices when choosing a luxury stone dining table. I will explain in detail in this issue.
The first part? Avoid pitfalls in luxury stone dining table channels
Find the source factory of luxury stone!
With the development and progress of the times, Sheshiyuan Factory has gradually established and improved its own sales model and sales system. Most powerful manufacturers have begun to establish media departments, C-end business departments or gradually The transformation from the TO B model to the TO C model is driven by the trend on the one hand, and it is also more beneficial to the majority of consumer colleagues on the other hand.
1. Online channels
With the popularity of media, a number of scalper-type "middlemen" such as buyers and store explorers have emerged on the market. On the one hand, they claim to be "In order to bring down the price", on the other hand, they resell the products to consumers at high prices by means of "taking low and selling high", leaving consumers deceived and miserable. There are two main disadvantages here:
One is the price issue. The middlemen connect the two ends in the form of reselling, and the overall cost is high, so it is impossible to sell at a low price. At the same time, scalpers generally link to multiple factories, and their "loyalty" is very low. They are widely criticized by the factories, and it is impossible to get a low price. .
The second is product issues. This involves the key points of "health, beauty, safety, and practicality" mentioned by the questioner. Middlemen are just sellers. They don’t know enough about the product’s process, materials, usage, etc. and have no professionalism to speak of. Not to mention the after-sales issues that consumers are worried about, they can only rely on words to deceive them and shirk the blame once they encounter problems. It's nonsense, let alone a commitment to the key points considered by the subject.
Luxury stone source factory
Based on the above factors, how can you find the luxury stone source factory online and get the goods directly to avoid being cheated?
(1) Do not look for the stores of Xubao, Dongdong and Duoduo for luxury stone dining tables. Luxury stone dining tables are high-value products. The online store lowers the quality of the product. Secondly, what you see is what you get, and there is no reliability at all;
(2) Don’t believe what you don’t know in private messages. The so-called manufacturer who dares to directly tell you the address of the luxury stone factory. The reason why I dare not tell you the address is because I am afraid that you will skip them and contact the factory directly;
(3) Don’t look for videos that only take pictures of luxury stone products and luxury stone showrooms. Occasionally, there are some incompatible luxury stone factory videos. The media account of Hesheshi dining table customer installation case. Factory accounts will display their craftsmanship in depth because they are afraid that consumers will not understand. If consumers do not understand, it will actually increase the communication cost of the factory sales department; at the same time, factory customers will follow the delivery and installation cases generously and will not act like a thief in a sneaky way. You feel guilty. What is wrong with your own family?
(4) Don’t look for luxury media accounts that cover everything. Second-tier dealers such as scalpers and buyers generally follow the trend and do what makes money and what is easy to do. Therefore, an account usually includes product lines such as sofas, mattresses, coffee tables, luxury stone dining tables, etc. Professional people Doing professional things, I have been running a stone factory for 20 years. When it comes to cutting luxury stones, I only dare to make a luxury stone dining table and a background wall. Even if it is expensive, I will not cut it. It is not a financial problem, but a professional problem! The middlemen and scalpers are a group of young people who have not yet entered the industry. Why do they have the attitude of "I have the number one in my hand, I own the world"? In the same way, go through the friend circle of the contact person to get the right one;
(5) Do not look for media accounts that add contact information and then falsely report luxury stone factory information and prices. Each factory has its own registered name. If you dare not even state the name of the factory, you can directly judge it as a second-rate dealer; at the same time, if you report random prices, falsely report prices, and dare not even distribute product manuals, don’t believe it. The real source factory has a clear The ex-factory price mainly depends on the volume, and there is no time to go back and forth to fight for the price;
(6) Do not look for the live broadcast account of Luxury Stone Dining Table with problems. What does it mean to have a problem? During the live broadcast, he would disappear for a while, or go to another office to find someone, but he was actually asking the factory for the price; during the live broadcast, there were many people in the exhibition hall live broadcasting together, but in fact, he was borrowing the venue to display, a group of scalpers.
(7) Don’t believe in luxury stone accounts that can customize any luxury stone products.
Being able to do everything actually means that you can’t do anything well;
(8) Don’t believe the media accounts that say that Sheshi dining table legs (hardware) are also produced by themselves. The entire industry chain is huge, and no one can monopolize it. Stone, metal, and woodworking belong to three different industry fields. If not for too much online exposure, how could we have the similar illusion of "per capita monthly income of one million". The popular saying in the industry about purchasing luxury stone dining table legs is (not style): hardware table legs are divided into Foshan legs or Dongguan legs. Foshan legs focus on wholesale, and the price is relatively low; Dongguan legs focus on customization, and the price is relatively high.
2. Offline channels
How to avoid pitfalls in offline channels? We generally use the diagnostic method of "inspection, smell, inquiry and diagnosis" which is similar to that of ancient Chinese medicine.
(1) Check factory qualifications. Understand the name of the factory, and then go to the official website of the commonly used three checks (non-advertising, namely Tianyancha, Qichacha, and Qixinbao, which are specially used to check company information) to directly check the company’s qualifications and other related information;
(2) Listen to the factory’s reputation. Generally, luxury stone source factories have been in business for more than one or two years. Most real factories have accumulated decades of experience in the stone industry. You can chat with other people in the exhibition hall or on the road to learn about the company;
(3) Ask for professional knowledge. The sales staff of Luxury Stone Factory are different from traditional sales people who are skilled in sophistication. They usually work from the grassroots level and are selected and promoted. Their understanding of the products is not limited to the superficial, but has a deeper understanding. They can tell you everything you can think of. Sort out the questions logically before going to the factory, and ask sales questions one by one, trying to figure out everything from the origin of luxury stones to after-sales issues at once;
(4) Go to the factory for inspection. Before making up your mind to order, it is best to go to the showroom or factory to understand the size of the other party, number of people, organizational structure, product series, product technology, etc. It is beneficial for everyone to clarify the details of the other party.
In addition, it is recommended that you adopt a combination of offline and online methods to avoid pitfalls. What do you mean? First, filter out the factory account online through the identification method in "Online Channels", and then click The identification method of "offline channels" is gradually implemented to achieve the unity of online and offline. If you identify such a brand, you basically don't have to worry about getting into trouble.

2. Luxury stone dining table craftsmanship
The most important thing to consider when purchasing a luxury stone dining table is why?
Because it is closely related to "health, beauty, safety, and practicality" and directly affects the convenience and happiness of home life, this link is dense with knowledge points to avoid pitfalls, so please read and collect the details.
Special note: The hardware legs of the luxury stone dining table are not produced by stone manufacturers, so this article does not explain the hardware craftsmanship.
(1) Luxury stone dining table tabletop treatment process
Please choose the glaze sealing process (also known as the resin process) and do not choose other processes.
The currently popular desktop treatment techniques on the market include the glaze sealing process of coating the surface with a resin mixture, the direct polishing process and the baking paint process of drying the paint surface. The glaze sealing process is the most mature and the most advanced. Complex craftsmanship, this craft is popularized by Baxter, the top Italian home furnishing brand, and its advantages are as follows.
①The highest gloss. The glossiness of a good sealing glaze process should be at least 90 degrees, the true gloss process can only achieve a maximum of 80 degrees, and the baking paint process is the worst;
② The natural reduction degree is the highest. The glaze sealing process requires applying two layers of glaze liquid on the luxury stone tabletop, that is, applying the base oil first, leaving it for 12 hours until the base oil and pores are completely integrated, and then applying the top oil. The resulting luxury stone can maintain the same "like appearance" as natural stone. Pore ??breathing" characteristics, unlimited service life. Both the true light process and the baking paint process are suspected of being sealed and cannot maintain the naturalness of the luxury stone. Discoloration will occur after 1-3 years of use: the desktop treated with the true light process will turn white, and the desktop treated with the baking paint process will turn black;
③The coverage is the highest. The glaze sealing process mixes resin, styrene, white water, blue water, wax liquid, etc. according to a certain proportion. The liquid can completely paint the entire luxury stone, including the table edge and the back of the bottom (the bottom surface is generally sealed with glaze 10cm). Due to the baking of the surface, the paint surface cannot be baked to the edge of the table and the bottom of the table, and it cannot have a protective effect. You can find clues if you look carefully;
④ Mohs hardness is the highest. The glazed desktop has a Mohs hardness level of 4-5, which is scratch-resistant and wear-resistant; the real gloss and painted desktop has a Mohs hardness of 2-3, and its practicality is not comparable to the glazing process;
⑤The most secure good. The resin used by regular domestic luxury stone factories is Zhaoqing Futian resin, the base oil material is N399A, and the top oil material is N399S.
The paint surface made by the baking process has a pungent smell, is highly toxic, is harmful to the body, and has extremely poor safety. Do not choose it.
Seeing this, some people may ask: The glaze sealing process is so good, why do so many factories still need to do the real gloss or baking process?
The real reason is that they are not factories in the true sense, at most they are just small workshops. The glaze sealing process is complex and has extremely high configuration requirements. For example, you cannot use a drying gun for drying (the moisture inside the luxury stone cannot be removed and it will easily turn yellow and bleed). You can only build a fully automatic constant-temperature baking room by yourself; you cannot use an air gun to clean up the dust casually ( After the dust is blown back to the stone surface and seals the pores), stainless steel water curtain dust removal equipment must be equipped; the sealing glaze must be left to stand for 24 hours (the standing time is long enough to remove the stone pores and completely integrate with it) before proceeding to the next step of water grinding, which is extremely time-consuming. Big time cost... The above-mentioned various costs add up, and small workshops simply cannot afford it, so they can only choose the "real light process" and "paint process" that are low-cost but inferior in all aspects. This is particularly important. Pay attention to distinguishing between luxury goods and luxury goods. Stone factories and workshops, avoid stepping on pitfalls.
(2) Luxury stone dining table bottom plate technology
Luxury stone bottom plate directly determines the practicality and safety of the entire luxury stone dining table, because the bottom plate is closely bonded with the luxury stone dining table top, improving the It reduces the local stress of the luxury stone dining table and improves the load-bearing capacity of the luxury stone dining table in disguise. The main pitfalls are that the bottom plate is easy to break, mold and turn yellow.
① Do not choose density board or particleboard, but choose solid wood baseboard. Density boards and particleboards are relatively soft in texture and easily absorb water and swell. If the home space is relatively humid, the bottom board will appear mottled, peeling or swelling and deforming within half a month of actual use. The materials used in regular luxury stone factories are 15mm solid wood baseboards, which have high density, are not soft, do not absorb water, are moisture-proof and mildew-proof, and will not deform to affect practicality and appearance;
② Do not use solid wood baseboards Use it directly as the baseboard, and the surface should be covered with high-quality flannel. The surface of the solid wood baseboard covered with high-quality flannel not only protects it from moisture, but also enhances the overall appearance and luxurious stone style due to its special material and beautiful appearance. Making a pure solid wood floor is only practical and not ornamental.
(3) Luxury stone dining table packaging technology
Why should packaging technology be included in the pit avoidance guide?
Because on the one hand, the strength of a luxury stone factory can be seen from the packaging process, or it can be distinguished whether it is a small workshop or a luxury stone factory. On the other hand, good packaging can perfectly protect the luxury stone dining table. Leaving behind consequences that are invisible to the naked eye (internal injuries).
① Check whether it is packed with solid wood frame. The solid wood cross-section specifications generally used by Sheshi Source Factory are 3cm*8cm, that is, solid wood strips with a thickness of 3cm and a width of 8cm. Only such a frame has sufficient impact resistance and impact resistance, and can effectively avoid vehicle bumps and human interference during transportation. The collision caused the luxury stone dining table to break;
② After disassembling the solid wood frame, check whether thickened corner and edge guards are used. Luxury stone factories generally use 10mm EPE foam edge guards to completely wrap around the luxury stone table edges, and use 20mm thickened EPS corner guards to place them on all four sides of the inside of the solid wood frame for shock absorption and anti-collision. These are not available and must be a small workshop. It is necessary to strictly check whether there are impact cracks on the luxury stone dining table;
③ Check whether there is a bubble bag that completely wraps the luxury stone dining table. If there is no bubble bag with a bubble diameter of 10mm or larger to completely wrap the entire luxury stone dining table, don’t hesitate. If you find minor problems, please return it directly;
④ In addition, if you purchase it through online channels in other places, The manufacturer delivers and installs through logistics. Please confirm whether it is covered by an explosion-proof film. If the explosion-proof film is not added during long-distance transportation, it must be intentional by an unscrupulous manufacturer to save costs. Please check whether the product is complete.
