Further, Taiwan lacks any experienced craftsman who specialize in maintenance of antique furniture who could pass their craft along In order to minimize costs, dealers very rarely send their goods to Hong Kong, where there are experienced masters who will slowly restore the furniture with skill and care. Instead they just have a mainland craftsman do preliminary work and then ship the item directly to Taiwan.
此外，台灣缺乏對古董傢具維修有足夠專業知識的老師傅。一般業者為了減少成本，很少送到這方面經驗、技術都勝過台灣一籌的香港，讓老師傅用手工慢慢維修；而是由大陸師父初步修理，便直接用貨櫃運到台灣。
