Mr. Chen, an expert with extensive experience in the furniture industry, shared some key tips for consumers when purchasing mahogany furniture. First and foremost, he emphasized the importance of understanding the scientific names of wood species rather than relying on common or misleading terms used by sellers. For example, in Guangdong, the term "rosewood" is widely used, while in northern regions, it's often referred to as "red wood." However, the term "mahogany" is not a scientifically recognized name but rather a general, layman’s term. This can lead to confusion, so consumers should do their research to avoid being misled by generic labels and ensure they're getting the real product.
Another important point Mr. Chen highlighted is the necessity of requesting a formal tax invoice when making a purchase. Not only does this confirm that the seller is operating legally and paying taxes, but it also provides a crucial record for after-sales service and protects the consumer's rights in case of any issues later on.
There are also concerns about the "National Tour of Large-scale Mahogany Furniture Bargaining" event. Consumer advocate Mr. Ma pointed out two major issues. First, he questioned whether such a large-scale sales method could truly guarantee reliable after-sales service, which is especially important given the high cost of mahogany furniture. Second, he raised concerns about whether the event’s venues are properly paying taxes to local authorities. If they aren't, it could create unfair competition, harming local businesses and reducing their motivation to operate within the legal framework.
When asked about these concerns, Mr. Liao, one of the organizers of the event, said the matter would be addressed by the company’s general manager. However, the general manager was unavailable at the time, and Mr. Liao reiterated that the company is a legitimate business with no such issues. While this may provide some reassurance, it doesn’t fully address the underlying questions about transparency and accountability. As consumers, it's always wise to stay informed and make careful decisions when investing in high-value items like mahogany furniture.
