VietNamNet Bridge - Cardboard-made furniture is priced at just VND500,00-VND600,000 ($23-28)/item, equivalent to 1/4 of similar products made from wood or plastic.
Five graduates from the HCM City University Construction are running a factory manufacturing cardboard-made furniture in Go Vap District. This is the first cardboard-made furniture enterprise in Saigon and perhaps in Vietnam.
The cardboard used to produce furniture is up to 3 cm thick, with a stable structure.
Mr. Phan Huy Hoang, a group member, said it took them some time to find the way to make furniture from cardboard. Cardboard furniture is quite reliable.
The tool to make the furniture is a paper knife.
Decal paper is used to decorate the products.
The necessary time to complete a product is only 2-3 hours.
According to the production team, to make the furniture more durable and eye-catching, users can decorate them with color decal paper or glass.
According to the producer, this chair - priced at VND200,000 ($9) – is the best-selling product.
The chair is only 5kg in weight.
The most expensive item is the relaxing chair, at VND500,000 ($24).
This VND60,000 ($3) chair can withstand the weight of 100 kg. Hoang said the “expiration” of these products depends on the users. Users are advised not to let the products contact water.
This bookshelf is priced VND100,000 ($5) and is the choice of many students.
Most of the products are disassembled for transport and buyers are given instructions to assemble at home.
