Foshan Chair Manufacturer

We build chairs for importers, retailers and hospitality projects from our own workshop in Longjiang, Foshan. This page is the short version of what that means commercially: what we make, what it costs to start, how long it takes, and how to tell a Foshan manufacturer from a trading company wearing the same name.

Chair showroom in Longjiang, Foshan

Why Foshan

A chair built inside one district

Foshan has concentrated furniture production since the 1980s, and Longjiang — where our workshop sits — is the densest part of it. Timber yards, steel-tube suppliers, foam plants, powder-coating lines, fabric markets and hardware vendors are all within a few kilometres.

  • Faster sampling — a frame can be re-cut, re-welded and re-coated without leaving the district
  • Tighter costing — components move by local truck, not by long-haul freight
  • Deeper specialisation — specialists who only bend chair frames, or only sew contract upholstery
  • Real capacity — sub-suppliers absorb peaks, so a 40 HQ container is a normal order, not a season

That density is why Foshan pricing and sampling speed are hard to match elsewhere — and also why so many "Foshan chair manufacturers" you find online are trading offices in Shenzhen or Guangzhou. The distinction matters more than the city name.

Supplier screening

How to vet a Foshan chair manufacturer

Five questions that separate a factory from a trading office. Ask them before you send a deposit — the answers are hard to fake and cheap to verify.

01

Which workshop, which address?

Ask for the workshop address and a live video walk-through, not showroom photos. A real manufacturer can show the welding jigs and the spray line.

02

Who owns the tooling?

A trader routes your drawing to a third party. Ask who holds the bending moulds and whether they stay in your name — and get it in writing.

03

What is the frame gauge?

"Metal chair" is not a specification. Ask for tube wall thickness, foam density in kg/m³ and upholstery grade, then compare quotes on the same numbers.

04

Can I see a QC report?

Ask for a past pre-shipment report with the buyer details redacted. A factory that runs AQL sampling always has one; a trader usually does not.

05

What happens when a piece fails?

Ask the replacement policy and its turnaround, in writing. The answer tells you how the relationship will work in year three, not week one.

Materials & QC

Four checkpoints per order

Timber moisture in, structure on the line, finish piece by piece, documentation before the container door closes.

Incoming

Materials

Timber moisture content, steel gauge, fabric colour fastness and foam density checked before production starts.

Inline

Structure

Welding penetration, joint tightness and frame squareness inspected on the line, not after assembly.

Final

Finish

Upholstery alignment, coating uniformity, hardware and stability checked piece by piece.

Pre-shipment

Documentation

AQL 2.5 sampling, photographic report and carton drop-test before container loading.

Questions buyers ask

Foshan chair manufacturing, answered

Are you a chair manufacturer or a trading company?

We are a manufacturer. Frames are cut, welded and finished in our own workshop in Longjiang, Foshan, and upholstery is sewn and assembled in-house. There is no intermediary between your order and the production line, so specification changes are answered the same day.

Why are so many chair factories in Foshan?

Foshan's Shunde district, and Longjiang in particular, has concentrated furniture production since the 1980s. Timber yards, metal-tube suppliers, foam plants, powder-coating lines, fabric markets and hardware vendors sit within a few kilometres, so a chair can be built, refinished and re-sampled without leaving the district. That density is why Foshan pricing and sampling speed are hard to match elsewhere in China.

What is the minimum order quantity for dining chairs from Foshan?

MOQ is from 6 pcs per model, and a mixed container is fine — you can combine models and categories in one order rather than deepening a single SKU. Sample orders below MOQ are accepted and the sample fee is refunded against the bulk order.

How long does production and shipping take?

Sampling runs 7–12 days. Bulk production is 30–35 days after deposit and artwork approval, plus 3–5 days for pre-shipment inspection and container loading. Sea freight from Foshan to Europe is typically 30–40 days and to North America 25–35 days, depending on port and carrier.

Can you match a price I was quoted elsewhere?

Send the specification behind the quote — frame material, finish, foam density, upholstery and packaging. Price in this industry is set by those five variables, not by the photo. If a quote looks unusually low, one of them has been downgraded, and we will tell you which.

Do you sign an NDA and work from drawings?

Yes. We sign an NDA before any file exchange. Send a drawing, a photo or a physical sample and we return a technical drawing, BOM and EXW or DDP price. Tooling is owned by you and stored separately from catalogue production.
