Some unscrupulous businessmen, driven by immense economic interest, are trying their best to deceive consumers with new furniture as old as repairing old ones and seek for huge profits.

2.6 million white and white drift

In a furniture factory in the town of Cixi, Ningbo, where only “foreign furniture is traded”, the reporter saw all the links in the old industry.

First, the new furniture was damaged, disassembled, and then beaten to make breaks or gaps where needed. Then the materials were subjected to high temperature baking to deform, crack, and cold water was severely shrunk.

The second step was to bake with a blowtorch to charring some of the locations. Carbonized colors need to be colored and polished with shoe polish.

Put the chair feet in the sand and wear them again. Soak for a week in white vinegar. The legs of the furniture will be long and white.
