Mr. Zhang worked from Yantai, Shandong to Shanghai in 2002 and has been renting a house. Some time ago, he went to the thrift market near Beihong Road to buy some old furniture, including a marble coffee table. One day, he put a fruit tray full of apples on the coffee table. As a result, a marble plate about 1 cm thick suddenly broke, and Mr. Zhang's left foot was smashed with a blood port about 5 cm long.
After the inspection by Mr. Zhang, it was found that the marble coffee table had been broken before and the crack was repaired by super glue. Mr. Zhang found a vendor who sold coffee tables, but the other party called Mr. Zhang "improper use" and blamed Mr. Zhang on all his responsibility. Mr. Zhang weighed the fruit tray full of fruit, but the total weight was only about 5 pounds. Could this crush the 1 cm thick marble slab?
Case 2:
The closet has become a "mosquito killer"
Li Bin and his wife rented on Gonghe Xin Road and gave birth to their son six months ago. They wanted to add some furniture.

"When you open the cabinet door, there are corpses. How dare you use them?" Li Bin said that the day after the furniture was bought back, when he opened the cabinet door, he found that there were many corpses of mosquitoes scattered in the cabinet. Li Bin smelled a pungent odor in both cabinets. With some decoration experience, he recognized the smell of inferior glue.

Reporter investigation
"Beautify" second-hand old furniture before sale
Shops handle 100 pieces per month
The reporter came to the Huaiguo old goods swap market on Caobao Road, where there are many shops that deal in the sale of used furniture. The reporter walked into a store specializing in the sale of old furniture. The owner, Mr. Ma, admitted that the business was good. He pointed to a row of computer desks in the store and said, "Last month I received a total of 55 photos from a closed company, and now I only sell them. Six or seven sheets. "
Mr. Ma said that the main people who come to buy old furniture are foreign workers who come to Shanghai to work, young people renting out houses, they will not live for a long time, and buying old furniture is cheap. The sale of used furniture is very profitable. The 100-square-meter shop he opened is only medium-sized, but at least a hundred pieces of used furniture are handled every month. If you encounter high-profit goods, the monthly income of tens of thousands of yuan is not a problem.
In the conversation room, five yellow croakers loaded with old furniture were parked in front of Mr. Ma ’s shop. "They collect goods in the streets and alleys, and they can earn more than double when they are shipped to me." Mr. Ma said that except for a few residents who sell furniture directly to stores, almost all old furniture is collected by these yellow croaker owners. Come.
Huang Li, the owner of the yellowfish car, said that the price of old furniture "shrinked" is very powerful. When a new set of furniture is bought, it may exceed 10,000 yuan. However, regardless of the condition at the time of acquisition, it will shrink by about 20 times in an instant, and it is basically impossible to exceed 500 yuan. "Good deeds" like more than ten yuan received a big wardrobe, also often encountered.
Ad hoc market for scattered merchants
The reporter came to the "famous" old furniture trading market on the Shanghai-Taiwan Road, the market is composed of many second-hand furniture shops on the street. There are about 30 furniture shops on the street near the two-kilometer section, on both sides of the road. Advertising wooden signs filled with old furniture for collection and sale.
In front of a furniture store specializing in hangers, a car owner came by riding a yellow croaker, which was loaded with several sets of old furniture. The store staff ignited the welding machine and began to repair the old furniture that had just arrived.
After the reporter followed the workers to the store, there was a small workshop, and several workers were busy painting old furniture. "The skin and the paint are brushed, and you can't see it from the outside," said Master Sun, a carpenter who is repairing a single bed. Almost all old furniture has been refurbished after being received. The most common method is to stick After painting and painting, after "beautification" treatment, old furniture looks at least 90% new.
The reporter visited many old furniture stores and found that the "beautification" of old furniture is common, and some of the old furniture can smell a pungent odor. A shop owner said that most consumers who buy second-hand old furniture are looking for a cheap one, and they don't take it seriously.
"Beauty" old furniture hidden dangerous
According to the clues provided by the readers, the reporter came to a second-hand furniture factory on Beidi Road, Changning District. It can be seen across the fence. The entire factory area does not exceed 300 square meters, but the goods are very busy. Within half an hour, passengers and yellow croakers pulling goods and delivering goods kept flowing. The reporter learned from the nearby residents that this second-hand furniture factory stores a lot of old furniture and various "beautifying" treatment agents and parts.
Mr. Wang, an expert in furniture production for many years, said that according to industry norms, the most toxic in furniture production is paint and glue, but most of the old furniture stores are only concerned about reducing the cost of "beautification". Once products with toxic substances exceeding the standard are used, It is easy to cause cancer and blood diseases of users.

Establish a professional second-hand used furniture market as soon as possible
Liu Yilin, who has been in the furniture industry for many years, said that due to the current disorder of the market, an old piece of furniture must be sold again, and there are many links before the yellow crown owners, shops, and processing plants all come to share a piece of soup. Profit margins, this will result in the use of inferior products to renovate. Liu Yilin suggested that the relevant departments may consider adding consignment, refurbishment and auction sites for used furniture to recycle it. "Turning waste into treasure" not only makes full use of social materials, so that more consumers get benefits, but also highlights the need for environmental protection.
At this stage, the second-hand furniture market mainly has the following three drawbacks.
Lack of warranty
Judging from the actual market situation, after the second-hand old furniture was acquired by the owner of the yellow croaker, the purchase certificate provided was basically missing. If the consumers who bought these old furniture encountered quality problems, it is impossible to repair them at the manufacturer.
A shop owner operating second-hand used furniture in the Huaigu old goods swap market admitted that the business qualification he applied for in the market was the sale of used goods, but documents such as warranty cards will only appear on second-hand used appliances. Second-hand old furniture is generally "the goods are out and will not be returned." If consumers want to repair, they can go to carpentry.
Private renovation
According to Liu Yilin, a person in the furniture industry, consumers who buy old furniture have a "misunderstanding". They think that old furniture has been used by others, and there should be no pollution problems. However, because the renovation of the old furniture market is more "beautified", this idea Is not correct.
Refurbishment of old furniture, originally aimed at repairing damaged high-end furniture, professional furniture treatment agents are very expensive, and the paint or glue used in second-hand furniture stores is unknown. The use of inferior glue to "beautify" old furniture not only shortens the service life, but also causes damage to consumers' health.
Random pricing
Now the old furniture trading market is in a disorderly state, and the selling price is set according to the supply and demand requirements in the market. A 70% new bamboo lounge chair can be sold from 50 yuan in winter to 100 yuan in summer, and its purchase price is only about 10 yuan.
Because of the lack of processing channels, old furniture replaced in people's homes is usually sold cheaply to "yellow croakers" walking around the streets. Sometimes, in order to get a good price for the old goods received by them, the "Yellow Fish Car" acquisition team moves around. When a car pulls old furniture from south to north, the price may also increase several times.
