The furniture market is booming and the prosperity is behind the industry chaos. August 18, 2014
Randomly stacked materials
“The furniture factory around Kunming Baishuitang, more than 80% of the furniture processing plants are unlicensed production, some of the factory buildings are outdated, the equipment is simple, there are serious safety hazards, and some even no fire extinguishers in the processing plant are produced. All kinds of furniture, affixed with some big brand labels to Kunming's major stores for sale, and some even branded Hong Kong. Recently, Mr. Liao, the owner of a kitchen factory in Baishuitang Community, Kunming National Economic and Technological Development Zone, said.
"It is clearly a domestically produced product, but it has given itself a foreign name to pretend to be an "imported product". How can consumers buy peace of mind?" An industry insider revealed that many furniture that claim to be imported brands are actually produced by small factories. However, wearing a "suit", in the furniture industry, the phenomenon of selling "foreign" heads to sell domestic goods is very common.
The furniture market is hot and "up", but behind the prosperity, it breeds a lot of chaos.
So how to crack the industry chaos behind the prosperity image?
Safety and worry

Most furniture factories process difficult fire extinguishers
It is understood that with the acceleration of Kunming's urban construction process, many wood processing plants have chosen the Baishuitang community with convenient transportation as the best production address.
Baishuitang Community is located in the Economic Development Zone, which is more than 10 kilometers away from the center of Kunming. There are thousands of large and small furniture factories. The furniture factories of these furniture factories are all built with simple red brick asbestos tiles.
In the name of the order, the reporter walked into a furniture factory with no signboards and more than 10 workers in more than 1,000 square meters.
In the factory, the reporter did not see any relevant documents such as business license, wood processing license, environmental permit, and health permit. Moreover, there is no fire-fighting installation in the vast 1000-square-meter factory.
"It has been more than three years since the subletting, and there has never been a fire. We usually tell the workers to pay attention to fire prevention." A responsible woman enthusiastically told reporters about their products.
The reporter then visited a number of processing factories, all of which were a dilapidated courtyard, which was a factory building. The wood inside was piled up at random, and there was no safety fire prevention facilities at all. Asking workers about the fire protection facilities in wood processing sites, they don’t care too much. They think that as long as they don’t smoke at work, they will not have any problems, and the working environment of their peers is roughly the same. Staggering.
During the interview, the reporter found that most of the workshops were aging and privately connected, and the fire-fighting facilities and fire-fighting equipment configuration and settings did not meet the requirements of the regulations. There were serious fire safety hazards. The wood processing factory itself is a place with fires that are prone to fire, high incidence, and multiple occurrences. In addition, it is also in the current high temperature weather. If the consequences of the fire are unimaginable.
