5 questions you need to know about customizing a modern wardrobe

Nowadays, when many families are renovating, they will choose custom panel furniture, such as custom modern wardrobes, cabinets and so on. However, many people reported that there are many "pits" in the custom furniture industry. At the beginning, the 3W all-inclusive price was 799 yuan/㎡, but the final price was doubled. The customized modern wardrobe was not environmentally friendly and the quality was not good. .

There are many tricks in custom furniture. If you don’t want to be trapped by the custom company or the manufacturer, it is best to ask the manufacturer these questions before customizing the modern wardrobe:

First, ask the billing method

The most popular marketing strategies used by custom furniture manufacturers are "XX yuan all-inclusive" and "XX yuan/㎡". Many people see the price as very cheap, but in the end they find that the price is 3W yuan, but the completion cost is 6W yuan. This problem arises because we did not ask clearly about the billing method for customizing the modern wardrobe.

Generally speaking, many custom companies have two quotation methods:

The first is based on the projected area, that is, the length of the wardrobe is multiplied by the width to calculate the area, and finally multiplied by the unit price per square meter. For example, the height of the wardrobe is 2 meters and the width is 3 meters, and the area is 6 square meters. According to If the quotation is 1,000 yuan/㎡, the cost of this wardrobe is 6,000 yuan.

The second is to calculate according to the expansion area of ​​the board. This charging method is very complicated. It is necessary to calculate the area of ​​each board such as the door panel, back panel, partition, side panel, etc. of the cabinet, and then multiply by the unit price. Also because this billing method is more complicated, it is easy to step on the "pit", and it is not recommended for everyone to choose this method.

Many custom companies bully consumers who do not understand, use the expansion area to bill, and finally report a few more squares. When charging according to the projected area, it is possible to charge repeatedly. Originally, the skirting boards and closing strips of the wardrobe should be included in the projected area, but they are charged separately.

Second, ask the style of modern wardrobe

We need to customize a modern wardrobe, how to arrange the inside of the wardrobe, how to divide the partitions, how many drawers, and what color and pattern to choose. These aspects will affect the final cost of the cabinet. Many people are "pitted" because there is no Ask about these things.

1. The layout of the modern wardrobe. If the layout of the wardrobe is complicated, there are many partitions inside, and multiple drawers need to be made, then the more plates are used, the higher the cost of the business will be, especially when the business is billed according to the projected area, the business will "suffer". Therefore, many custom manufacturers will stipulate the style of the modern wardrobe, and if we have changes, we will charge extra. When we talk about prices, it is best to ask clearly to avoid custom manufacturers "pitting" money on additional costs.

2. Wardrobe color, thickness, pattern and finishing process. In the package price quoted by many custom companies, the color, pattern, and finishing technology of the wardrobe are all "standard". If we want to upgrade, we will charge extra.

Three, ask the plate

The most important material for a custom modern wardrobe is the plate. The quality of the plate directly determines the quality of the custom modern wardrobe, and also determines the price of the custom modern wardrobe.

There are many kinds of boards used to make modern wardrobe, the common ones are particle board, multi-layer solid wood board, density board, different boards have different performance. In addition, the plates are divided into imported and domestic products, and the quality and environmental protection are also different. So when it comes to customizing the panels of a modern wardrobe, we need to ask two things:

1. Types and brands of plates

Different businesses use different plates, and their prices are also different. Some businesses sell a sheet of 100~200 yuan as 600~700 yuan. We spend 5W yuan, but only make a cabinet worth 2W yuan, which is obviously a "pit".

Therefore, when we customize the modern wardrobe, it is best to ask the type and brand of the plate, and choose the best plate as much as possible. For example, imported board brands are better: Aige board, Chrisbon, Feidelai, Kelifu; domestic board brands: particle board is better than Lushuihe, Hexiang board, Daya; multi-layer solid wood board The better ones are Bunny, Moganshan, and Millennium Boat.

2, the thickness of the plate

The thickness of the wardrobe board, the national standard is more than 17.5mm, but the thickness of the board used by many businesses is only 15mm, because this can save costs, but the moisture resistance and stability of the cabinet will be reduced. In addition, there are some merchants who "cut corners" on the back panel of the cabinet, and the thickness of the back panel is only 5mm and 9mm. If we don't want to be pitted, it is recommended to agree with the manufacturer on the thickness of the plate in advance.

Fourth, ask about hardware accessories

In order to customize a modern wardrobe, in addition to the plates, hardware accessories are also very important. If we choose poor hardware accessories, it will not only be easy to break, but also the cabinet will not be easy to use, which will bring us a bad experience. Therefore, when we customize the cabinet, we must ask about the hardware accessories, such as the type and brand of hardware accessories.

In many cases, the standard hardware accessories of merchants are domestic ordinary hardware accessories, such as hinges, some of which are plain in style, and the quality is not good, some with damping, some without; for example, drawer guides, handles, some The beautiful and durable, the use is smooth, and some are of poor quality, and the pulling is sluggish.

Generally speaking, if we want to replace the hardware of imported big brands, we need to add extra money. The modern wardrobe in the whole house requires a lot of hardware, and it may cost thousands of dollars just to add items. Therefore, when we customize the modern wardrobe, it is recommended to confirm the hardware accessories first to avoid being "pitted" by the merchants.

Fifth, ask about environmental protection

When customizing a modern wardrobe, the most concerned issue is environmental protection. If the environmental protection is poor, after the cabinet is installed, the formaldehyde exceeds the standard, and the house cannot be lived in. No matter how good the cabinet is, it is meaningless. Nowadays, many businesses will advertise that the board is "0 formaldehyde", but in order to save costs, inferior glue will be used.

From the perspective of safety and environmental protection, when we choose a custom modern wardrobe, it is best to ask the merchant's environmental protection test report about the board to see how environmentally friendly the board is. E0 and E1 grades are no longer a standard. The American NAF certification and the Japanese F4 star certification can only be said to be the foundation. It is best to meet the highest standard Enf level, and the formaldehyde emission is ≤0.025mg/L.
