Mid- and low-end mahogany furniture prices fell more than 10%

In recent months, the price of mahogany furniture has seen a significant decline, while the cost of raw materials has remained relatively stable, with an overall drop of around 20% to 30%. Notably, the price of Burmese rosewood has fallen by approximately 50%, but this decrease is mainly observed in mid- and low-end products. High-end, collectible pieces have maintained their value, showing that the market remains strong for premium items.
This trend began at the start of last year and has continued into the present. In the Guangzhou market, for instance, prices of low-end mahogany furniture have dropped by more than 10% since 2015, when the industry was still booming. Despite this, the industry faces deeper challenges beyond just sales. Many well-known mahogany brands are struggling with the scarcity of raw materials and issues related to fraud and misrepresentation.
One common problem is the confusion between different types of wood. For example, some sellers mix Burmese rosewood with Laos pears and market them as "Vietnamese huanghuali," even though these woods come from different origins. Additionally, certain types of sandalwood—such as red, green, and black—are sometimes labeled as national standard mahogany, despite not meeting the official criteria.
To help consumers identify genuine mahogany furniture, experts recommend choosing reputable manufacturers that are professional, transparent, and committed to quality. Purchasing directly from the manufacturer can offer better pricing and greater assurance regarding product quality and after-sales support. It's also important to look for the "new national standard" documentation, which includes a product certificate, instruction manual, and quality information card. These documents help verify the brand, manufacturer, and product details, making it easier to resolve any issues later.
Consumers should also ensure that the contract or order clearly states the scientific name of the wood used and specifies whether there are any white edges or other characteristics. It’s wise to request a guarantee that no harmful chemicals, such as curing agents or dyes, will be used in the manufacturing process.
