Currently, many furniture brands have detailed provisions on warranty periods and scope. For example, some furniture brands promise "1-year warranty, lifetime repair" service, and some wardrobe brands offer a 1-year warranty on panels and a 5-year warranty on all hardware accessories. But puzzlingly, even for the same brand of furniture, warranty terms vary from store to store, leaving consumers confused.

In the building materials market, merchants' claims about warranty periods for various brands of home decoration building materials are also inconsistent. Among them, bathroom products are said to have warranty periods of 1 year, 3 years or 5 years. Although merchants verbally promise 1-5 years, when it comes to signing the contract, they cite "store regulations" as the reason and only sign a 1-year warranty with consumers. The situation with ceramic tiles is even worse: many merchants, citing the fact that tiles are "sturdy and durable and won't have problems," do not give consumers a clear warranty period. And when products do have problems and consumers come to them, merchants often fob them off with various excuses, leaving consumers deeply frustrated with nowhere to turn.

In fact, the wooden door industry still has no unified three-guarantee regulations. Because the state has no mandatory requirements, merchants often "go their own way," using warranty periods ranging from two or three years to more than ten years as selling points and gimmicks. In addition, some industry associations have formulated relevant regulations for their own categories, but these are often vague and lack authority. This blind spot has invisibly provided merchants with a "protective umbrella" for deceiving consumers.
