I just saw the question Qiang Zai asked and suddenly became a little distracted.
The first thing you do when you get home?
I was probably lying on the sofa scrolling through my phone.
But that’s not what I want to talk about today.
It's Miss Sun's set of exploding rosewood.
15,088, six-piece set, known as Rosewood.
It sounds beautiful.
The result?
One month, it cracked.
Apply tea seed oil and the cracks will fade.
But the knot in my heart cannot be erased.
The manufacturer said: It is normal due to weather conditions.
normal?
Is it "normal" to buy it for 15,800?
I checked, and the so-called "rosewood" is just a collective name for more than 10 kinds of Dalbergia.
Some are called red rosewood, and some are called black rosewood.
What's even more ridiculous is that the so-called "African rosewood" and "South American rosewood" in the market cannot even be integrated into the national standard of mahogany. Their standard names are called cola beans and broad beans.
To put it bluntly, it's just a name.
How much is the price difference?
The same kind of rosewood is cheap, ranging from a few thousand per ton, to millions of expensive ones.
10 times.
Even more.
Which one did you buy for 15,800?
Experts say you can smell it. Real rosewood has a sour aroma.
But do you smell what Miss Sun is doing?
Not mentioned.
I probably just smelled frustration.
This redwood thing, the water is so deep that it can drown people.
There are only twenty-nine kinds of mahogany in the national standard, but what is called "mahogany" in the market can produce a hundred kinds for you.
Pineapple grid, sounds like mahogany, right?
The standard name is Merbau, which is not on the list of mahogany.
The center of the trunk is called core wood, and the ring near the bark is called sapwood.
Sapwood is not valuable and is easily eaten by insects and rot.
National standards stipulate that the width of the side material cannot exceed one-tenth of the component.
But how many manufacturers comply?
God knows.
Did Ms. Sun’s suit crack because of too much sap material? No one told her either.
Suddenly I remembered the question Qiang Zai asked - what should I do first when I get home?
When Miss Sun comes home now, the first thing she will probably do is stare at the set of furniture.
Look at which seams are getting bigger and which corners are warped.
The more I watch, the more troubled I become.
What I bought for 15,800 is not enjoyment, but trouble.
Bought at Home Expo, Lingnan Pearl Stadium
Sounds like a pretty formal place.
The reporter called to ask, but the manufacturer insisted that there was no problem with the quality.
Cracked?
Weather pot.
This reminds me of those people who sell fake medicines. Are there any problems with taking them?
That's because your physique is not good enough.
Same recipe, same taste.
Ms. Sun used tea seed oil to apply it, and the cracks faded away after applying it.
But that's a cover-up, just like foundation covering acne marks. It can cover it for a while, but it can't cover the root cause.
What is it?
Is this stuff really rosewood? Is it mahogany? Is it worth the price?
Experts say that to determine the material, you have to take samples, slice them, and look at them under a microscope.
But is Miss Sun willing to drill a hole in the furniture?
What if it’s really rosewood?
Then this diamond, 15,800 will be wasted.
Why not drill?
What if it’s not?
Just holding it in like this?
Dilemma.
Buying mahogany seems to be a gamble
One knife makes you poor and the other makes you rich.
It's just that the bet on stone is a stone, and she bet on a stool.
The moment I sat on it, I felt not at ease but also uneasy.
Some people on the Internet said that it is normal for redwood to crack because the wood is active and can breathe.
Some people also say that it is a quality problem, and good mahogany should not crack so quickly.
Who is right?
I think it's all right.
It's no use either.
As for Miss Sun, 15,800 has already been spent, and the item is broken, and the seller will neither refund nor exchange it.
What can she do?
Litigation?
Can you afford it?
I can only sit on that stool and continue to be upset.
Qiang Zai asked what the first thing was when he got home.
I thought about it for a while, and if I were Miss Sun, the first thing I should do when I get home is not to look at that set of furniture.
Pretend it doesn't exist.
Pretend you didn't spend the 15,800.
Pretend it's all an illusion.
But no, it's right there.
You have to sit down to eat, you have to sit down to watch TV, and you have to show off when guests come - look, my Rosewood.
Then once the guest leaves, the anxiety continues.
This is not buying furniture, this is buying something for the ancestors to bring back.
In fact, it’s not just mahogany
A lot of things are like this.
You go there for a name, empty your wallet, and what you get back is a question mark.
When Ms. Sun reported the information, reporters went there, experts also asked questions, and the manufacturer also conducted phone interviews.
Then what?
Then the story ends.
Leaving behind a report, a lesson, and a room full of uncertainty.
I suddenly remembered a friend
He bought a brand-name bag and carried it for three days before the hardware fell off.
When I took it back to the counter, the teller said: This is normal wear and tear.
normal.
Normal again.
It seems that in this world, as long as you spend money, everything can be interpreted as normal.
It's normal to burst, it's normal to peel paint, and it's normal to be cheated.
What is abnormal is ourselves.
But we actually still believe that the expensive ones are good, and the famous ones are genuine.
Miss Sun is going home now
Probably the first thing to do is to look at the set of furniture.
Check for new cracks.
See if it's more serious.
It makes me feel tired.
Qiang Zai asked what the first thing was when he got home.
My answer is: take off your shoes, change clothes, and collapse on the sofa.
Miss Sun's answer is: look at the furniture, sigh, and continue to feel aggrieved.
Same question, different answers.
The difference lies in whether the stool you purchased will make you so happy that you long to lie down lazily on it, or whether it will make you feel flustered and unable to feel at ease even when you sit down.
15800, I didn’t feel comfortable buying it.
So damn expensive.
