In recent years, purchasing a set of children's furniture in malls has become quite expensive, with some parents spending as much on a child's bed, desk, and wardrobe as they would on the master bedroom furniture. This raises questions: why is children's furniture so costly? Is it really worth the price, or are there hidden factors behind the high cost?
According to a recent report by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), 30% of children's products on the market fail to meet quality standards. In a large-scale inspection covering 29 product categories—including children's furniture—over 2,354 batches from 2,318 companies were tested. The overall pass rate was 87.6%, but for children's furniture specifically, the unqualified rate reached 32.1%. In one survey, 25 out of 78 samples from 11 provinces and municipalities, including Beijing, Shanghai, and Shandong, failed to meet safety and quality requirements.
When visiting several large furniture chains in Xi'an, reporters found that children's furniture, especially solid wood models, comes with a hefty price tag. For instance, a children's bed was priced at 8,970 yuan, while a similar-sized adult bed could be bought for under 2,000 yuan. A salesperson from a children's furniture brand explained that the craftsmanship of children’s furniture is more meticulous, with rounded edges and higher design standards. Additionally, materials must meet stricter formaldehyde emission limits—no more than 1.5 mg/L, compared to 3 mg/L for adult furniture. One store's inspection report showed its formaldehyde levels at just 0.5 mg/L, well below the limit.
The new national standard for children's furniture requires not only safe materials but also high-quality finishes. Surface imperfections such as bumps, scratches, or bubbles must not exceed four in number. However, many small brands lack awareness of these standards, leading to inconsistent quality. Industry experts advise parents to be cautious when buying and to carefully check product certifications and material specifications.
With so many options available, it's essential for consumers to do their homework before making a purchase. After all, a child’s safety and comfort should never be compromised. For more insights into the Chinese furniture industry, visit the official website of Xianghe Furniture City.
