Generally speaking, there are two methods to calculate the area of customized wardrobe: by projected area and by expanded area. Projection area is an early pricing method. The price is calculated by multiplying the length, width and height of the cabinet, and the depth is generally calculated by the standard size of 6 cm. This calculation method ignores the number of partition materials in the cabinet and is rigid, but the calculation accuracy is relatively high.
According to the developed area, this pricing method requires design before purchase, and the actual material area is used to calculate, that is, according to the developed area of cabinets, doors and boards. Although accurate, the calculation is complicated and there are some errors in manual measurement. This pricing method is lower in unit price than projection calculation, but the final total price is easily higher than the budgeted total price.
According to a survey report, about 57% of custom-made wardrobes are calculated by unfolded area, about 39% by projected area, and 4% by linear meter. Linear meter calculation is generally used for cabinet calculation, so it is rarely used for custom wardrobe.
Second, customizing the wardrobe is tricky. What are the tricks of profiteers?
As more and more consumers choose custom wardrobes, various consumption traps about custom wardrobes are gradually exposed. A friend who is a brand wardrobe agent revealed that some businesses will cheat consumers with complicated calculation methods, which is even more unpredictable.
1, many people will find it more convenient and economical to calculate according to the projected area. In fact, no matter which calculation method, there is no absolute money saving. Some JS will tell consumers that the calculation of projection area is more cost-effective, but in the actual production process of wardrobe, consumers need extra money to add a shelf, a hook, a slide and other accessories. If we don't discuss these in advance, JS will definitely sit on the ground and start the price.
2, sitting ruler is a trick that many JS will use, especially when calculating according to the expanded area. Add three items and five items, and complex algorithms can easily confuse consumers. Therefore, consumers must verify the data provided by the merchants again. If there are two drawings, just because one is fine doesn't mean that the other is fine, and complicated drawings can't be sloppy.
Third, pay attention to all kinds of details and move the customized wardrobe home.
In addition to the "area trap", other small details can not be ignored when consumers buy custom wardrobes. Only by considering everything in advance can we move the satisfactory wardrobe home.
1, choose environmentally friendly materials.
Generally speaking, the main materials of customized wardrobes are solid wood and plates. Solid wood wardrobes are all solid wood, and the price per square meter is more than four or five hundred yuan, and some even cost thousands. The solid wood wardrobe is expensive in material selection and has good environmental protection performance. However, there are still a few customized solid wood wardrobes, because the production technology of solid wood wardrobes is not very mature, and the moisture content of solid wood materials is very high, which will inevitably crack after several years of use.
At present, the plates used in custom-made wardrobes are mostly density board and solid wood particle board.
The two kinds of PK have their own advantages and disadvantages: MDF is heavy in weight, good in bearing capacity, not easy to deform and not easy to open when sealing edges; Although the solid wood particle board is slightly inferior in the above functions, it is superior in environmental protection, moisture resistance and nail holding power.
2, the quality of accessories can not be ignored.
Nowadays, the brands and styles of custom-made wardrobes are dazzling, and the prices vary greatly.
You get what you want at the same price. Consumers should pay attention to the cost performance of the wardrobe when purchasing customization. A wardrobe with good quality can avoid a lot of troubles in the use process, and various accessories of the wardrobe are the best mapping of wardrobe quality.
When purchasing various accessories such as hooks, slideways and shelves of customized wardrobes, we should try our best to choose good quality ones. Take the sliding door of wardrobe as an example, the sliding door with poor quality is prone to derailment, lack of smoothness, excessive noise and other problems, while a good wardrobe has a door with a certain weight, which will not vibrate when sliding, and is smooth and textured.
3. Buying a product is equivalent to buying a whole set of services, and there are many processes, so we must do it well.
There are many processes to customize the wardrobe, and the factors of human participation run through the whole process. When buying a custom wardrobe, besides the performance and design of the product itself, the related services that the merchant can provide are also important criteria to be considered.
Customize the wardrobe from a series of service points such as pre-communication, door-to-door measurement, post-installation, and quality assurance. Customized wardrobes buy not only products, but also services.
In the process of customization, buyers and sellers have frequent contacts, and thoughtful shopping guides can actively answer all kinds of questions about materials and pricing; A designer with good service will listen carefully to your design needs and make a reasonable and efficient wardrobe design; The measurement staff at the gate should carefully measure and record.
On the one hand, these services can be understood through communication in advance, and on the other hand, it is necessary to judge whether the services of merchants are trustworthy by observing and observing words.
After the custom wardrobe was put into use, the service was also reflected. As a customized product, after-sales service needs more attention than finished furniture. For example, if there are problems such as size mismatch and installation defects, the service brand will solve them quickly, and will not delay the problem or shirk the responsibility to consumers. At the same time, the general wardrobe warranty on the market is 3-5 years, and the general warranty period of big brands is 5 years. However, it should be noted that the five-year warranty generally refers to cabinets or door panels, and the warranty period of hardware is often only 1 year.
