There are hundreds of furniture products on the market, but they often cannot escape the fixed materials and styles. Do you know which categories of furniture we use in daily life belong to? It doesn't matter if you don't know. Furniture products are divided into one category by material and another by style. It is really difficult to distinguish. Next, I will divide our furniture into five categories of furniture products based on materials and introduce their characteristics and features in detail.

The first category of furniture - solid wood furniture

It is understandable to put solid wood furniture in the first place, because solid wood furniture has the highest status and the largest market share among our five major furniture categories. I don’t need to say much about solid wood furniture. It mainly refers to furniture products made of natural wood. The surface of this category of furniture products has very beautiful patterns and thick, heavy texture. It is used as Chinese-style furniture products, antique and long-lasting charm. It can also be used as European-style furniture to reflect its elegance, dignity, calmness and restraint. Therefore, solid wood furniture has a variety of shapes and first-class quality. It is the most popular type of furniture for consumers.

The second largest category of furniture - panel furniture

Panel furniture generally refers to furniture products that use artificial boards as the main furniture material. The disassembled and assembled furniture we usually use generally belongs to the panel furniture type. The main features of this category of furniture products are high cost performance, fashionable shape, exquisite and beautiful patterns, and they are mainly produced and sold as low-end furniture products. The most common materials for panel furniture on the market are thin boards, wood grain boards, PVC boards, polyester paint surfaces, etc. Now, with the furniture manufacturing process becoming more and more sophisticated, many panel furniture have very realistic wood grain effects, and their gloss and feel are very good. I believe that in the future market, panel furniture will become more and more popular.

The third category of furniture - rattan furniture

Rattan furniture is our third largest category of furniture products. It is mainly made of natural rattan into various exquisite small furniture products. Rattan furniture products may be used in our bedrooms, living rooms, courtyards and other public places. Rattan furniture can have the roughness and boldness of Europe and America, the exquisiteness and chicness of Southeast Asia, and the simplicity and elegance of our traditional Chinese culture. Its ever-changing styles and exquisite weaving craftsmanship are welcomed and loved by consumers all over the world. The main features of this category of rattan furniture products are exquisite workmanship and fashionable shapes. It is not only very practical, but also has very good ornamental value.

The fourth category of furniture - soft furniture

You may not know much about soft furniture. It is actually the sofas and beds we usually use. Let's talk about sofas first. Sofas can be divided into American sofas, Japanese sofas, Chinese sofas and modern sofas. Among them, modern sofas are the most widely used and the most popular. Most modern sofas are elegant in color and simple in lines. They can be used indoors and outdoors. The second is bed furniture products. Nowadays, people have very strict requirements on the aesthetics of beds. Bed furniture sellers often decorate the beds carefully, from the background wall at the head of the bed to the decoration of the bedside table. They strive to be unique and novel. The key is to make people want to buy.

The fifth category of furniture - metal and glass furniture

Metal glass furniture is the last category of furniture products we will discuss today. I believe that everyone is familiar with metal furniture products. For example, our coffee table is most commonly made of glass. In addition, our TV cabinets, wine cabinets, etc. also belong to the category of metal glass furniture products. What are the characteristics of metal glass furniture products? First of all, metal furniture products have good light perception, are sturdy and durable, and have a strong modern and fashionable atmosphere. Our glass furniture products have good reflective feeling, good color and feel. The key is that its shape is changeable and can be matched at will to create a comfortable and trendy home atmosphere.

How to distinguish the grades of products?

In fact, it mainly depends on the price. Bedrooms, sofas, and beds can all be divided into medium, high, and low grades based on the price. For example, the suite (5 pieces) ranges from one or two thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, so we define products priced below 4,000 yuan as medium and low-end products, products priced between 4,000 yuan and 8,000 yuan as medium-end products, products priced between 8,000 yuan and 20,000 yuan as medium and high-end products, and products priced above 20,000 yuan as high-end products. But it is not static. In fact, there is no specific standard to accurately divide them. It is just that we are familiar with the products and will naturally position them. For another example, the grade positioning of sofas, those below 2,000 yuan are medium and low-end, 2,000 to 5,000 yuan are medium-range, 5,000 to 10,000 yuan are medium and high-end, and those above 10,000 yuan are high-end. Beds below 1,000 yuan are medium and low-end, 1,000 to 4,000 yuan are medium-range, 4,000 to 10,000 yuan are medium and high-end, and those above 10,000 yuan are high-end.

Product origin classification: It can be divided into imported furniture and domestic furniture, that is, international brands and domestic brands. There are more international brands in Shanghai, but some international brands are also produced in China. At present, the largest furniture production base in China should be Guangdong. Most of the well-known domestic brand furniture is produced in Dongguan, Foshan Shunde, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhongshan and other places. The largest furniture exhibition in China is held here in March and August every year. At that time, many domestic furniture manufacturers and dealers will gather in Guangdong. But in recent years, Zhejiang's furniture has also risen rapidly, and there are many good brands in Beijing. There are some brand furniture in other places such as Northeast China, Sichuan, Hebei and Shandong, but the proportion is relatively small.
