Furniture of Chinese origin has a very good appearance and is cheap, however, in the long run it is more expensive, since the quality is not the best.

“At first glance we have to be honest: Chinese furniture does look pretty, it has more appearance than durability, there are some that the material is not very resistant and thank God there are still people who are looking for a piece of furniture that has more resistance, that last longer and that is why they look for us,” said the president of the Association of Furniture Manufacturers, Carlos Gutiérrez Santiesteban.

Duranguenses vs chinos: fabricantes de muebles compiten en precios y calidad

Therefore, they have sought advice to be competitive in the face of the entry of more and more products of Chinese origin.

“We are trying to compete with them on price, so right now we are trying to improve our processes and we are in talks with the Technological Innovation Center that is helping us improve our products and processes to be more competitive,” he said.

Therefore, he urged citizens to compare before buying.

“First check, cheap sometimes doesn’t turn out to be so good, really check the products, compare the price of this with the price of a piece of furniture from Durango and see how much the durability is going to be and apart from that we have to support each other if we really We want to help each other, because if I buy a furniture store from him he is going to buy from the chubby one and like that, it’s a little chain,” he quoted.

In general terms, he stated that they have not done so badly in the first quarter of the year. “It is an election year, we understand, and more so because it is federal, the economy does stop,” he indicated.

Hence, people stop investing and choose to wait for the changes in the government to take place, despite which “it hasn’t gone that bad for us,” he said.
