Crates into the garage at 16:44; sideboards, cabinets, tables and chairs assembled and positioned by 18:40 \u2014 under two hours \u2014 with the client present to check each piece as it came out.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Sea freight, delivery and assembly were one scope. The client compared the pieces against the order in the room, not against a photo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>New-Chinese-style furniture is mostly solid wood and lattice \u2014 heavy, rigid and easy to chip at the corners.<\/strong> It travels well if it is braced, and badly if it is not. This Jakarta client chose the set in Foshan and asked us to take it from the factories to the rooms. The shipping leg was straightforward; the two decisions that mattered were the re-packing before it left and the assembly on arrival. Source Foshan sourced the set in Foshan, re-crated it for export and followed it to the door.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"sf-source-note\">Photographs taken on site by the delivery crew; the clock and location stamps are from the site camera. Client details are withheld.
