Who we work with
A manufacturing partner for buyers who manage specifications, product ranges and repeat orders.
Direct factory sourcing is most useful when a European buyer needs more control than a ready-stock purchase can provide. It suits businesses that can define the intended channel, approve a sample, document the product and plan production quantities. If you need a few pieces delivered immediately from local stock, a European distributor may be the better route.
Brands & importers
Develop an identifiable range with approved colours, materials, construction details, packaging and references that can be used for repeat orders.
Wholesalers & retailers
Build an assortment around price bands, carton volume, retail presentation and the practical balance between core models and seasonal additions.
Hospitality & project buyers
Review intended use, stackability, cleaning, replacement parts, finish options, documentation and requested testing for hotels, restaurants and contract spaces.
Product range
Start with the selling channel, then select the furniture.
Our main categories can be sourced as individual models or developed into a coordinated collection. A garden retailer may need compact dining sets and stackable chairs. A hospitality supplier may prioritise commercial seating, maintenance and repeat availability. A design-led brand may begin with fewer models but require closer control of proportion, colour and material details. For a broader view of current collection planning, see our European outdoor furniture trends for 2026–2027.

Dining Chairs
Folding Chairs
Lounge Chairs
Dining Tables
A coherent range usually comes from a short list of well-recorded decisions.
Before requesting prices, define the buyer type, target price band, intended environment and expected order pattern. Then decide which products should share a frame colour, rope family, fabric palette or packaging format. This gives the quotation a commercial purpose and makes later sample comparison more reliable.
European market requirements
Turn market expectations into a product brief the factory can follow.
Europe is not one uniform outdoor market. Climate, retail channel, product use and documentation expectations vary by country and customer. Instead of asking whether a product is simply “suitable for Europe”, specify where it will be sold, who will use it, whether it is domestic or contract furniture, and which technical or commercial documents the buyer requires.
Design approval
Confirm dimensions, proportions, frame geometry, colour references, rope pattern, fabric and cushion details on a physical sample. Photographs are useful, but they should not replace a written specification and approved references.
Materials & documentation
Ask what material descriptions, component information, care instructions, labels, packaging details and traceability records can be supplied. Requirements should be tied to the selected model and destination market, not assumed across an entire catalogue.
Testing support
Identify the intended domestic or contract use and request the applicable testing or documentation before the order is finalised. We support requested testing and document preparation; we do not claim that every product carries every European certification.
Repeat-order consistency
Record finish references, approved materials, dimensions, hardware, labels, packaging and agreed inspection points. A repeat order should be checked against the approved standard, not against memory or a showroom photograph.
Standards & product documentation
Read the EN 581 buyer guide before you freeze the specification.
Before confirming an outdoor chair or table programme, review the relevant EN 581 report, intended use and product construction. The guide explains what to compare with the approved sample—and what the standard does not cover.
Quality control before shipment
Turn an approved sample into clear production checks.
Use the outdoor furniture quality-control checklist to define product references, in-process checks, packing review and the pre-shipment questions that should be agreed before goods are ready to load.
Use the Quality Control Checklist
Customisation
Customisation works best when every visible choice becomes a controlled specification.
Options may include frame dimensions, powder-coat colour, rope colour and weaving method, fabric, cushion construction, labels, carton marks and branded packaging. The objective is not to change every detail. It is to make the changes that support your price position, channel and collection identity, then document them clearly enough for sampling, production and reordering.
Manufacturing & quality control
Use the approved sample as the start of control—not the end of development.
Production in Foshan covers the principal steps used for metal and rope outdoor furniture. Depending on the model, this may include tube preparation, frame forming and welding, surface finishing, rope weaving, assembly, inspection and packing. The route should be confirmed for the selected product rather than described with a single generic factory promise.
Before production
Approve the physical sample, colour and material references. Confirm dimensions, construction, hardware, cushion details, labels, carton marks, instructions and packaging. List any requested tests or documents early enough for them to affect the schedule.
During production and before shipment
Check frame alignment, weld finishing, surface appearance and component fit. Review rope tension and pattern, hardware, assembly and moving parts where applicable. Before shipment, verify model, colour, quantity, labels, accessories, instructions, carton condition and the agreed inspection records. Our UK commercial outdoor furniture sourcing guide gives additional context for buyers comparing local stock with direct factory supply.
Commercial starting points
Qualify the order before spending time on detailed development.
100 pcs
Typical starting MOQ for chairs. The final workable quantity depends on the model, material, colour choice and order mix.
50 pcs
Typical starting MOQ for tables. Tabletop material, packing method and finish choices can change the required quantity.
45–60 days
A typical production range after order details and specifications are confirmed. Product complexity, sampling, requested testing and the production schedule are reviewed for each order.
These figures are starting points, not a promise that every model, colour or material can be combined at any quantity. Mixed products and container plans are assessed case by case after the actual selections and carton information are available.
Export support
Plan the records, cartons and shipment details before production is finished.
For European importers, a workable order involves more than the unit FOB price. Product density, stackability, knock-down construction, carton protection, assembly time and the mix of models influence landed cost and operational risk. We can support samples, quotations, production follow-up, packaging confirmation and standard export documents. Destination-specific importer duties, product rules and local delivery remain the buyer’s responsibility and should be checked for the actual market.

FAQs
Questions European buyers usually ask before requesting samples.
Do you hold stock or operate a warehouse in Europe?
No. We manufacture to order in Foshan, China. Production, shipment, import arrangements and local delivery must be confirmed for each order and destination.
Can you customise colours, rope, fabric, cushions and packaging?
Yes, options can be reviewed against the selected product, quantity and production method. Final choices should be recorded in the approved sample and written specification.
What are your typical starting MOQs?
The typical starting point is 100 chairs or 50 tables. The workable quantity can change with model, material, finish, colour mix, packaging and the overall order plan.
Can different products be combined in one container?
A mixed-container plan can be reviewed case by case. We need the selected models, quantities, carton details and production compatibility before confirming a workable mix.
Are all products CE marked or certified for every European market?
No blanket claim is made. Outdoor furniture does not automatically require the same marking or documents in every situation. Buyers should identify the rules, standards, tests and technical information required for the selected product, use and destination.
What helps maintain consistency on repeat orders?
Approved samples, colour and material references, written specifications, component details, packaging standards and inspection records provide the comparison point for later production.
What should we send for a useful quotation?
Send product references, target quantities, destination markets, sales channel, required finishes, packaging needs, requested documents and preferred shipment timing. Drawings and a range brief are useful for custom projects.
