Desk purchase questions, we teach you

Questions to ask the manufacturer when purchasing office furniture:

First, ask the basic situation of the manufacturer:

       1. Does your company have its own factory? Because: Generally speaking, the products sold by the company of their own furniture factory are all direct sales mode. There is no salesman or dealer in the middle. It is more affordable to choose a company with its own factory to purchase products.

       2. How large is your furniture factory? Because: the scale of the factory and the company is a simple and effective standard to measure the strength of a company, and the relatively large-scale manufacturers will be more reliable.

       3. How many people are there in your furniture company? Because: This is actually a question about the size of the factory. At present, many factories are in the form of limited companies. Asking the number of the other party helps us understand the strength of the factory.

       4. Where is your factory address? Because: This information is very important for our procurement, because the transparent and reliable factory is completely open to its own address.

Second, ask about office furniture products. Because more understanding of office furniture products will help us find more reliable, good quality products.

Third, you need to ask about the price of office furniture. The price is actually one of our main concerns and one of the most important factors. It is recommended to ask the following questions:

       1. How much is this (desk, set, piece...) office furniture product? Because: directly asking the price and then comparing it is also a very direct and effective way.

       2. Why is your price more expensive or cheaper than others? However, it is recommended not to directly compare the price, mainly to see the price/performance ratio, one penny.   

       3. How is your price compared to the furniture in the mall? Because: Asking the furniture factory this problem is actually comparing prices, shopping malls generally have to deduct points, the price is much higher than the furniture factory.

Misunderstanding

1, too focused on low prices

       Value is often closely linked to price and cost. Furniture with too low prices is usually low in cost and poor in quality. Generally, its appearance and design are poor, and there is no cultural value. Experienced purchases know that buying products with too low a price usually has many unforeseen hidden dangers, which leads to many problems after purchase, which is regrettable. For most companies, the 10-20% gap is not a big deal at all.

2, buy a brand name

       Buying famous brands is usually not a mistake, but the number of purchases is large, and it is necessary to do what you can. The brand-name furniture (especially imported furniture) is more expensive than the average domestically produced high-quality furniture, ranging from 50-100% to 200- 300%. For the brand promotion cost of brand-name furniture, it still has to pay a lot of real money; how good the brand is, it is just a good detail that some professionals can distinguish. In fact, strictly speaking, brand is not equal to design, brand companies have good designers, not equal to each designer is excellent, not equal to each case is designed to be excellent. The author is a professional designer, and has repeatedly seen the poor design of brand enterprises, and even deviated from the basic principles of design, color application errors and other common sense mistakes. It is not equal to designing well.

3. Too much emphasis on the scale of the company

       The scale can only indicate that the production capacity is large, and it does not indicate that the quality is good and the design level is high. In a sense, the scale and individualization, cultural value or contradiction. Italian furniture is famous all over the world, but the size of Italian furniture companies is not large. Many famous companies have only a few dozen people, but the Italian family is famous for its design, not its scale. On the contrary, low-end product manufacturers tend to be large in scale, and are more common in Zhongshan and Shunde. Customers want to buy quality and service (including design), basically regardless of the size of the company.

4, buy fast delivery products, buy spot

       Many customers lack experience, do not consider the production cycle of high-end products, when the office is finished repairing, they only go to buy, has delayed the opportunity, only to retreat, buy fast delivery products, buy stock. Such products are usually low-end products, lacking personalization and cultural value, and even poor quality, generally can not meet the needs of high-level customers.

5, buy furniture city products

       Many customers regard the purchase of office furniture as a small matter, do not care too much, think that there are many styles in the furniture city, when they go to the furniture city to buy, see the right, can buy it back. As everyone knows, there are many styles in the furniture city, and there are not many boutiques. The number of high-end products is high and the number of furniture is high. Most of the furniture cities have few high-end products. The essence of furniture city is actually the shopping mall. It is just the theme of furniture. Just like the clothing city and the electric city, there is no deep understanding of the furniture. It can not provide professional services. Many customers buy it back to know that it is not suitable, but it is already late. It is. For example, all asymmetrical office desks have a direction, not all customers know, buy back and find out what is wrong. The design of the open office area is even more difficult, and the professional knowledge is even more. Besides, furniture city is not self-produced furniture, there are high cost (rent, wages, administrative expenses, electricity, etc.), manufacturers are not difficult to find, a small amount of furniture sales is also okay, bulk purchase to furniture city is irrational choice . In addition, the furniture city usually has to pay first or cash on delivery (many of them need to collect money before they are installed). If there is a problem, there is no initiative.

       In general, the purchase of office furniture can not only look at the price, mainly to see the price, a penny. The best for you is the best!
