Online sales of furniture into a trend

The reporter of Sanxiang Metropolis Daily noticed that with the continuous development of e-commerce, some of the brands that were sampled this time opened brand flagship stores on the Internet to conduct synchronous network sales.

On December 6th, the reporter searched for “Tong Meng Le” as a key word, and found a Taobao shop called “Tang Meng Le Home”. The highest-selling single item – the monthly sales volume of high and low beds has reached 164. According to the store public information, the business that opened the store is Xuzhou Tongmeng Children's Furniture Co., Ltd. In the random inspection information released this time, the company's Tongmeng Walnut single bed has edges and tips, and the warning signs do not meet the relevant requirements.

In the past “Double 11” sales data, in 2017, there were as many as 42 brands in the home brand that sold over 100 million in a single day. This also means that online shopping is gradually becoming one of the people's home purchase channels.

However, in the interview, many consumers also said that the quality of online shopping is not satisfactory. “I bought a sideboard for 1,000 yuan last year, and cracks began in less than a year.” Taobao ID said that the consumer of the company’s furniture on the Internet is difficult to satisfy her.
