Don't choose boards based solely on their price!

2025-11-04

There's a kind of cheapness called "feeling cheap," and many salespeople use this technique. This "feeling cheap" is sometimes like a smokescreen; if you're not careful, you'll fall into a trap. So we need a mature mindset and rational judgment.

So how do we define cheap?

Cheap is like a 5 yuan parking fee; you always feel it's expensive, no matter how little. But then you suddenly get a 200 yuan parking ticket on your windshield, and you realize you'd be willing to pay 50 yuan for parking. When you really need quality, you won't think any price is too high. But when you don't care about quality, you'll think any price is too cheap.

You really shouldn't be tempted by cheap building materials when it comes to interior decoration.

The board is a semi-finished product, and consumers cannot see its manufacturing process. After completion, the board is fixed at a size of 1220mm*2440mm, with a thickness ranging from 3.0mm to 18mm. So, in terms of shape, it is a cuboid with 6 faces. We can use our eyes, hands, and nose to observe the 6 faces in detail, but what we can perceive is still partial, and the quality is still uncertain.

Therefore, without sufficient experience with sheet metal, judging whether it is "good" or "bad" is extremely difficult. This is precisely why people's preference for "good quality at a low price" is understandable. However, it's necessary to discuss the irrationality of this selection criterion.

First, while low price is indeed an advantage, it comes at the cost of relatively low production costs. Secondly, further cost reduction often involves using inferior raw materials, crude processing, omitting testing steps, and manufacturing in small factories. Therefore, such boards may have various hidden problems, such as being environmentally unfriendly, prone to peeling or cracking, having poor load-bearing capacity leading to cabinet deformation, and lacking after-sales support.

For products like these that are "not what they seem," especially materials that play a significant role in decoration, it's advisable to choose branded products. The price difference may be several tens of dollars, but such boards truly give you peace of mind when using them.

While high-quality boards may not offer immediate results, they provide a lasting and reliable support. Believe me, after so many years in the board manufacturing industry, we've faced numerous competitors, including local brands and established names. However, we have complete confidence in our own boards. A brand that started as a decorative materials company and ultimately went public based on its own strength naturally has ample reason to be confident.
