Wholesale Furniture from China<\/h1>\n

Furniture is the category where freight quietly becomes the product. A sofa ships mostly as air, and a chair that assembles into a flat box costs a fraction of the same chair shipped assembled. Buyers who compare unit prices before they compare shipping volumes are comparing the wrong numbers.<\/p>\n

The second issue is materials language. Solid wood, plywood, MDF and particle board all appear in one catalog as “wood”, and the spread between them is enormous. A written material spec, layer by layer, is what separates a furniture order from a gamble.<\/p>\n

Select Trade has run furniture programs out of Foshan for five years, for hospitality projects and retail chains in Europe, the Middle East and North America. Below are the clusters, the price bands and the freight rules that decide whether the order works.<\/p>\n

Where the factories are<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Foshan is the largest furniture manufacturing area in China and arguably the world, with Lecong as its market heart. Chengdu covers the inland volume end, and the Dongguan belt handles higher-end upholstery.<\/p>\n

Compare prices on cubic meters, not units<\/h3>\n

Ask every factory for the packed volume per unit, then compute cost per cubic meter landed. A chair that is $4 cheaper per unit but packs 30% larger loses money on the container. This one calculation prevents more furniture losses than any negotiation.<\/p>\n

Write the material spec layer by layer<\/h3>\n

For upholstery: frame material, foam density, suspension type, fabric weight and composition. For case goods: board type, thickness, edge banding and hardware brand. Every layer has a cheaper substitute, and the factory will use it unless the contract names the one you quoted against.<\/p>\n

Where the negotiation room is<\/h3>\n

Foam density, fabric grade and hardware are the big three, and packaging runs a close fourth. A five-ply export carton with corner protection costs a little more and removes most of the damage claims that make furniture margins disappear.<\/p>\n

Quality risks specific to this category<\/h3>\n

Foam that sags because the density dropped, frames built from thinner timber than quoted, and flat-pack panels that arrive chipped at the edges. Ask the inspector to weigh samples against the spec, because weight is where material substitutions show first.<\/p>\n
