After the hydropower started, the cabinet designer was the first to take the stage. The water and electricity in the kitchen determines the design of the whole cabinet and affects its daily use. When positioning water and electricity, we should start with the cabinet designer and decide the layout according to the site conditions. Therefore, when decorating, the first main material to be determined is the cabinet. Consumers can't be cabinet experts, and there are indeed many doorways to choose a good cabinet.
A proverb: identify a small workshop or a large factory.
Many manufacturers have rudimentary production equipment, most of which are operated by hand. Customers purchase materials in advance, and then contractors produce them to win customers "lower than others".
Precautionary measures: Ask carefully whether there is a factory, where it is, what equipment it has, and whether you can visit the factory. Look at the fineness of the edge sealing of the plate. Usually, small workshops only seal the visible surfaces. Third, look at the drilling technology of the side plate of the hanging cabinet, including whether the hinge installation hole is inaccurate or porous.
Two commandments: beware of foreign brands or local products
The design concept of European cabinets leads the world trend of cabinets, so many manufacturers use foreign names and blind marketing. Germany and Italy, which advocate science and technology, are actually authentic local goods.
Precautionary measures: when buying, you should see the quality and origin clearly, and don't waste money on high-end goods with foreign names.
Three precepts: genuine brand or "flying single"
There are more and more franchisees acting as agents for foreign brands. In order to pursue better profits, agents usually transfer some orders to small factories for production, which is called "flying orders" in the cabinet industry. There are also agents who use the countertops and door panels of the headquarters and then steal cabinets.
Precautionary measures: when signing the bill, it should be indicated that all materials must be directly produced and provided by the original factory, transported directly to the installation site for unpacking and assembly, and obtained the complaint supervision telephone number of the head office, so as to contact the head office after installation.
Under the temptation: the real brand and source of plates
The kitchen is closely related to people's diet, and the requirements for plates are higher. Regular manufacturers will adopt brand materials. Now there are many cabinet brands that print their own cabinet brands on the plates as anti-counterfeiting marks.
Precautionary measures: pay attention to obtaining written proof of materials and investigate the real brand of materials.
Five precepts: Is it really low-priced or really inferior?
Cabinet merchants think that "low price = inferior quality" on the grounds of-dividing money-dividing goods. Other manufacturers attract customers with the same configuration and low price, and use inferior materials to reduce costs. Buying a set of cabinets for 5000 yuan and buying a set of cabinets for 50 thousand yuan are actually luxurious and practical, but inferior quality and non-compliance cannot be used as a reason for low prices.
Precautions: When buying, you may wish to pay attention to opening doors and drawers. High-quality products are fine in workmanship, while inferior products are often rough.
Six precepts: Don't trust verbal quotations and promises.
Is there a detailed cabinet configuration list and price list? When you can't come up with a detailed list of prices and material configurations, you should be wary of this "low transparency" sales method, even if it is cheap.
Preventive measures: obtain the configuration list, price list and quality commitment letter of the system.
Seven precepts: the pricing method is particular.
At present, there are two ways in the cabinet market: unit price and linear meter pricing. The unit price is a common pricing method for cabinets in the world, which is fair and reasonable based on the unit material consumption of products, but there are many pricing matters. Linear meter pricing is a common quotation method in the market, which is quick and simple, but it is prone to configuration uncertainty.
Note: Be sure to pay attention to the contents of the configuration list. Drawers and handles are basic configurations and should not be charged separately. Pay attention to the price sharing ratio of floor cabinets and hanging cabinets. Some merchants plan to reduce the price of hanging cabinets and increase the price of floor cabinets. Usually there are fewer hanging cabinets and more floor cabinets in the kitchen.
Bajie: Big talk promises water.
Some brand hype such as five-year warranty, fake essence, artificial stone fracture below 1% and so on. These slogans are not objectively induced, which undoubtedly shows the manufacturers' quick success and instant benefit.
Precautionary measures: the establishment of a real brand depends on serving users wholeheartedly. Consumers should not be attracted by these big marketing words, but should treat big and false promises rationally.
Nine commandments: the designer suggests not to follow blindly.
The vast majority of decoration designers are based on profit or not and how much profit is recommended as the premise of cabinets. -Some cabinet companies that lack the market collude with the designers or engineering team leaders of decoration companies with high remuneration (10%-20%) and try their best to recommend them to customers.
Precautions: When shopping, you should participate in shopping, not listen completely.
Ten commandments: after-sales service also depends on the actual effect
In the process of purchasing cabinets, you will certainly hear the promise of "good after-sales service". What is quality service? Eloquence does not mean sincerity, but solving problems is particularly important. Therefore, service should not only be honest and trustworthy, but also pay attention to practical results.
