What’s With the Chinese Furniture?

Chinese furniture can get you sick.  Recent evidence supports this.   It is the formaldehyde and the other chemicals they use to prevent mold.   The cheaper chemicals and compounds they use in this furniture are proving toxic.     According to an article in EasyBizChina, there are dozens of other articles about this as well, Chinese furniture can cause what they term cancer-like allergies.  People break out with burns and tumor like rashes.

Recently, people from all over Northern Europe have broken out with these allergic reactions.   The article names a specific brand.  I won’t.   As one owner of a new defunct modern Scandinavian house informed me, they use cheap, toxic chemicals in the making of their furniture.   When the inspectors come from America, Europe, they bring out the good, compliant stuff for show and tell.  When the inspectors leave, once again, out comes the toxic junk.

No fun.  I know.  I had a table that I used for a desk that was made in China.  I broke out all over  my arms, my face, and my eyes watered with frequency.  I got rid of the desk and all the symptoms went away in a few days.  I was lucky.  Others are not so lucky.

Americans, overall, are nice people.   We probably tolerate more than most of the world.   We have been trained, maybe indoctrinated is the right word, to shop till we drop, and we don’t scrutinize the quality of what we are buying as, say, the Europeans.   We have created a disposable society where few things really last and most clothing and furniture are meant to fall apart with the changing of the fashion seasons.   We may buy brands, and judge these brands by their marketing cachet, but as a culture we find it difficult to estimate true quality of the products we purchase.   Few are around who can show us the difference.

So we buy stuff that will make us sick.  Foolish on a good day.   But with this lousy economy, maybe it is time for a change.  Not the furniture, but our buying habits.
