A single supplier group in Lecong or Longjiang will usually make casegoods, upholstered headboards and seating in house, then subcontract stone tops, metalwork and decorative lighting to specialist workshops a few kilometres away. Items normally outside the furniture package are kitchen equipment, OS&amp;E (linen, crockery, small equipment), millwork fixed to the building and mattresses, unless the schedule says otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The table below shows how a schedule is normally split by area. The guestroom package carries the count and therefore most of the budget; public-area seating has tougher wear and fire requirements. Terrace and pool furniture follows different material rules, covered in our guide to <a href=\"\/fr\/outdoor-furniture-sourcing-china\/\">outdoor furniture sourcing in China<\/a>, and dining and bar seating is detailed in the <a href=\"\/fr\/restaurant-furniture-sourcing-china\/\">restaurant furniture guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table sf-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Area<\/th><th>Typical furniture items<\/th><th>Notes for sourcing from China<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Guestroom<\/td><td>Bed base and headboard, nightstands, wardrobe or open closet, desk-dresser, luggage bench, desk chair, lounge chair, minibar cabinet, mirror, lamps<\/td><td>20\u201335 pieces per key including lamps; casegoods in plywood or MDF with veneer or HPL; headboards upholstered or panelled<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lobby and reception<\/td><td>Reception desk, lounge sofas and armchairs, coffee and side tables, consoles, feature lighting<\/td><td>Highest abrasion and fire spec; stone and metal from Foshan specialist workshops<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>F&amp;B outlets<\/td><td>Dining chairs, banquettes, 2- and 4-top tables, bar stools, host stand, buffet counters<\/td><td>Stackable and knock-down options; per-seat budgeting<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Meeting and function<\/td><td>Stacking banquet chairs, folding or flip-top tables, lecterns, credenzas, trolleys<\/td><td>Volume items; Longjiang and Zhejiang Anji specialists; check stacking height and trolley fit<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spa and pool<\/td><td>Sun loungers, daybeds, side tables, cabanas, treatment-room storage<\/td><td>Outdoor grade: powder-coated aluminium, quick-dry foam, solution-dyed fabric<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Corridors and back of house<\/td><td>Consoles, luggage carts, staff lockers, housekeeping trolleys<\/td><td>Often classed as OS&amp;E; agree the scope split in writing<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hotel FF&amp;E scope by area<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meeting rooms and co-working lounges increasingly use office-grade task seating and flip-top tables; those specifications are covered in the <a href=\"\/fr\/office-furniture-sourcing-china\/\">office furniture guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ffe-schedule\">How do you prepare an FF&amp;E schedule a Chinese factory can quote?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quotable FF&amp;E schedule is a spreadsheet in which every line has a code, a room type, a quantity, a dimensioned drawing or reference image and a finish specification; anything less produces quotes you cannot compare. Hotel designers usually work from a room-type matrix (king, twin, suite, accessible) and multiply per-room quantities by the key count, then add public areas as separate zones with their own codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Columns a factory needs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Item code (for example GR-101) and area or room type<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Description and quantity per room, plus total quantity<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Dimensions W \u00d7 D \u00d7 H in millimetres, with tolerance<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Materials and finish codes (carcass, veneer, laminate, metal, stone)<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Fabric or leather: supplier, pattern, grade, metres per piece<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Fire and performance standard required for the destination market<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Hardware: hinges, drawer runners, glides, locks, power and USB modules<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Packing and installation notes (assembled or knock-down, floor, room range)<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Reference image or drawing number, and an optional target price<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fields on each specification sheet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Per item, the specification sheet should state the carcass material (plywood, MDF or particleboard) with its emission class, veneer species and cut, edge and top treatment, colour reference (RAL, NCS or a physical sample), foam density and type, seam and stitch detail, leg and glide type, and tolerances. Plus or minus 3 mm is realistic for casegoods; plus or minus 10 mm for upholstered pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Send the schedule with a fabric and finish board, not just words. Foshan suppliers hold large fabric libraries and can match Western contract fabrics with domestic equivalents at lower cost, but the equivalence must be proven by test reports rather than by the salesperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group sf-callout\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Specify by performance, not brand<\/strong> Writing a Western fabric brand into the schedule locks you into imported material and 8\u201312 week lead times. Writing &#8216;solution-dyed acrylic, minimum 40,000 Martindale, EN 1021-1\/-2 or CAL TB 117-2013 compliant&#8217; lets the factory propose stocked equivalents you can test.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"model-room\">How does the model-room process work, and how long does it take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The model room is a fully finished prototype guestroom built and approved before batch production; on a 100-key project it adds 3\u20135 weeks at the start and removes most of the risk at the end. Branded hotels are required to build one under the brand&#8217;s design standards, and independent hotels should copy the discipline because a fault found in one room costs a fraction of the same fault found in a hundred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shop drawings (weeks 1\u20132): the supplier converts the schedule into dimensioned drawings for every casegood and upholstered piece; you approve or mark up each sheet.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Material and finish sign-off (weeks 2\u20133): veneer, laminate, fabric, stone and metal samples are approved and retained as control samples, one set at the factory and one with you.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Prototype build (weeks 3\u20136): one of each item, set out in a mock room at the factory or, for branded projects that require it, shipped to site.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Inspection and revision (weeks 6\u20137): check dimensions against drawings, finish, comfort, hardware and cable routes; agree every change in writing.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Second sample only where a change is structural (weeks 7\u20139).<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Release to batch: the production schedule and inspection dates are fixed and the deposit for the main order is paid.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Building and approving the prototype in Foshan rather than shipping it saves 4\u20136 weeks and the freight. If you cannot travel, insist on a video walk-through, measured photographs against the drawings and a signed sample-approval form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large sf-figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/007-1024x682.webp\" alt=\"Hotel lobby lounge with a cream sectional, black stone coffee tables and city-view glass walls\" class=\"wp-image-265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/007-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/007-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/007-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/007-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/007.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Public-area seating carries the highest wear and fire requirements in a hotel schedule; approve it in the model-room phase like the guestroom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"standards-compliance\">Which fire, durability and emissions standards should hotel furniture meet?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hotel furniture must meet the fire, durability and emissions rules of the destination market, and Chinese factories will build to any of them if the standard is written into the order and tested. Three fire regimes cover most projects. California TB 117-2013 is a smoulder test on cover fabric, barrier, filling and decking, mandatory in California and treated as the de facto US national standard. In the UK, BS 7176 classifies hotels as &#8216;medium hazard&#8217;, which requires BS 5852 Ignition Source 5 \u2013 the &#8216;Crib 5&#8217; wooden-crib flame test on the cover and filling combination \u2013 in addition to cigarette and match tests. In most EU public buildings the minimum is EN 1021-1 (smouldering cigarette) and EN 1021-2 (match flame).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table sf-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Standard<\/th><th>Market<\/th><th>What it tests<\/th><th>Typical hotel requirement<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>CAL TB 117-2013<\/td><td>United States (de facto national)<\/td><td>Smoulder resistance of cover fabric, barrier, filling and decking<\/td><td>All upholstered seating and headboards; compliance label on the piece<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>BS 5852 Ignition Source 5 (Crib 5) via BS 7176<\/td><td>United Kingdom, Ireland<\/td><td>Cover and filling combination against a burning wooden crib, plus cigarette and match<\/td><td>BS 7176 &#8216;medium hazard&#8217; for hotel bedrooms and public areas<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>EN 1021-1 and EN 1021-2<\/td><td>European Union; many Middle East and Asian specifications<\/td><td>Smouldering cigarette and match-flame ignition of cover and filling<\/td><td>Minimum for public areas; national rules may add more<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ACT abrasion guideline<\/td><td>US contract textiles (widely used elsewhere)<\/td><td>Wyzenbeek double rubs or Martindale cycles<\/td><td>Heavy duty: 30,000 Wyzenbeek or 40,000 Martindale<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CARB Phase 2 \/ TSCA Title VI; EU E1<\/td><td>United States; European Union<\/td><td>Formaldehyde emissions from hardwood plywood, particleboard and MDF<\/td><td>US: 0.05, 0.09 and 0.11 ppm respectively; EU E1 at or below 0.124 mg\/m\u00b3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ANSI\/BIFMA X5.4; EN 16139<\/td><td>United States; European Union<\/td><td>Strength and durability of lounge and public seating<\/td><td>Lobby and lounge seating, especially on branded projects<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Standards commonly written into hotel FF&amp;E orders<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emissions apply to casegoods.

Ask for the board mill&#8217;s certificate and check that it matches the board actually cut on the factory floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brand standards sit on top of all this. Marriott, Hilton, IHG and Hyatt publish design and property-improvement standards that fix furniture grades, test requirements and sometimes approved suppliers. Supplier reports describe brand requirements well above the statutory minimum, but the binding document is the brand&#8217;s current standard for your project, so obtain it from the brand&#8217;s design team before anyone quotes. Structural testing for public seating is explained further in the <a href=\"\/fr\/approvisionnement-en-mobilier-contractuel-en-chine\/\">contract furniture sourcing guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group sf-callout\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Compliance caveat<\/strong> Flammability and emissions rules change and vary by state and country.

These are indicative bands drawn from project quotes rather than a published statistic; the spread comes from the casegood count, veneer versus laminate, stone tops and the fabric grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For context, the Nehmer and HVS Design Hotel Cost Estimating Guide 2021, a US renovation benchmark built on installed costs, put guestroom softgoods renovation plus the full-renovation add-on at roughly USD 4,450\u20136,100 per key for economy hotels, USD 10,100\u201313,500 for midscale, USD 16,500\u201322,000 for upscale, USD 23,500\u201332,400 for upper-upscale and USD 39,600\u201354,000 for luxury, excluding freight, tax, OS&amp;E and fees. Those figures include carpet, paint, demolition and installation, so they are not like-for-like with an ex-works quote, but they show where furniture sits in a total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table sf-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Tier<\/th><th>US installed benchmark per key (Nehmer\/HVS Design 2021, softgoods plus full-renovation add)<\/th><th>Indicative ex-works China furniture package per key<\/th><th>Typical package content<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Economy \/ 3-star<\/td><td>USD 4,450\u20136,100<\/td><td>USD 1,500\u20133,000<\/td><td>Laminate casegoods, fabric headboard, desk chair, one lounge chair, knock-down<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Midscale \/ 3\u20134-star<\/td><td>USD 10,100\u201313,500<\/td><td>USD 2,500\u20134,500<\/td><td>Veneer or HPL casegoods, upholstered headboard, bench, lounge chair<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Upscale \/ 4-star<\/td><td>USD 16,500\u201322,000<\/td><td>USD 3,000\u20136,000<\/td><td>Veneer casegoods with metal detail, stone tops, two lounge pieces<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Upper upscale \/ 5-star<\/td><td>USD 23,500\u201332,400<\/td><td>USD 5,000\u20139,000<\/td><td>Custom casegoods, leather or timber headboard walls, sofa, natural stone<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Luxury<\/td><td>USD 39,600\u201354,000<\/td><td>USD 8,000\u201315,000 or more<\/td><td>Bespoke joinery, book-matched veneer, natural stone, high-grade leather, complex metalwork<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Guestroom budget per key: US installed benchmark against indicative ex-works China furniture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Public areas are budgeted separately, by seat or by square metre.

The practical route at that size is to adapt a showroom collection with your fabric, finish and dimensions, which also shortens the model-room stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Payment on hotel orders normally runs 30% deposit, 40% at production milestone or before inspection, and the balance after the pre-shipment inspection report is approved and before loading. Pay the company account named on the contract, never a personal account, and align the milestone dates with the inspection dates so you are always paying for work you have seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"packing-logistics\">How is hotel furniture packed, shipped and sequenced for installation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hotel furniture should leave the factory labelled by floor and room number, packed to a written export standard and loaded in the order the installers will need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Room-by-room labelling: every carton carries item code, room type, floor, room-number range and &#8216;carton x of y&#8217;, in English and Chinese, on two faces.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Floor sequencing: containers are loaded so the first floor to be installed is unloaded first; public-area furniture ships in its own container or a clearly separated block.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Volume planning: a mid-range guestroom package packs to roughly 3.5\u20135 m\u00b3 per key with casegoods assembled, or 2\u20133 m\u00b3 knock-down; 100 keys therefore need about 5\u20137 forty-foot high-cube containers (76 m\u00b3 each) assembled, fewer if knock-down.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Protection: foam and corner protection on every piece, moisture barriers on upholstery and veneer, wooden crates for stone tops and mirrors, and pallets treated to ISPM 15 where solid wood packaging is used.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Installation kit: assembly drawings per item, hardware bagged per room, touch-up kits for each finish, 2\u20133% spare glides, hinges and fabric.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Pre-shipment inspection: item-by-item check with photographs against the approved control samples, and the balance released only after the report is approved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assembled casegoods cost more to ship but install faster and arrive with fewer damaged edges; knock-down saves 30\u201340% of volume but needs skilled assemblers on site and adds a day per floor. The written packing standard, container planning and the inspection reports you should expect are described on our <a href=\"\/fr\/qualite-et-livraison\/\">quality control and shipping<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"outdoor-ffe\">How do pool, beach and terrace pieces fit into a hotel FF&amp;E order?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outdoor FF&amp;E \u2014 sun loungers, daybeds, pool side tables, terrace dining and lounge groups, umbrellas \u2014 is specified on the same schedule as the guestrooms and public areas, sourced from specialist outdoor factories in Foshan, Zhongshan or the Linhai belt rather than from the casegoods factory, and loaded as its own zone in the container plan. A mid-sized resort pool package of 20 loungers, 10 side tables, 4 daybeds, 2 dining sets, 2 lounge groups and 8 umbrellas runs roughly USD 24,000\u201348,000 ex-works; a 250-lounger beach programme is priced per piece in the <a href=\"\/fr\/outdoor-furniture-sourcing-china\/#bulk-loungers\">bulk sun lounger section<\/a> of our outdoor guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Specify by test, not by look.<\/strong> ASTM B117 salt-spray hours on coated frames (500 h inland, 1,000 h coastal or chlorinated), EN 581 contract grade, UV-stabilised HDPE weave, solution-dyed acrylic cushion covers with quick-dry foam, 316 stainless hardware near salt water.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Sample with the model room.<\/strong> One lounger and one terrace chair are approved alongside the guestroom model so finishes and fabrics read as one property.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Separate factory, one inspection.<\/strong> Outdoor pieces are inspected at their factory on the same trip as the casegoods; coating thickness, weld grinding, stacking and cushion count are recorded in the same report.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Own zone in the loading plan.<\/strong> Pool and beach furniture ships in its own container or a separated block, labelled by zone, so the pool can open before the last guestroom floor is furnished.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Spares and replacement covers.<\/strong> 10\u201315% spare slings and cushion covers with the first order; re-ordering small quantities later costs more in freight than the covers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"foshan-hospitality-showrooms\">Which Foshan hospitality showrooms and factories can you visit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foshan&#8217;s hospitality furniture is concentrated in two towns of Shunde district about 15 minutes apart: Lecong, where the trading malls and hotel-furniture showrooms are, and Longjiang, where the upholstery and casegood factories are. Four venues make a sensible first day. <a href=\"\/fr\/showrooms\/venues\/huatian-hotel-furniture-lecong\/\">Huatian Hotel Furniture Showroom<\/a> in Lecong shows complete guestroom sets and casegoods. <a href=\"\/fr\/showrooms\/venues\/gelaimei-furniture-longjiang\/\">Gelaimei Furniture<\/a> in Longjiang covers hotel, restaurant and serviced-apartment furniture. <a href=\"\/fr\/showrooms\/venues\/yudao-home-longjiang\/\">Yudao Home<\/a> in Longjiang carries villa, hotel, clubhouse and office collections, and <a href=\"\/fr\/showrooms\/venues\/misimu-kufansen-lecong\/\">Misimu Kufansen<\/a> in Lecong spans office, hotel and medical furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large sf-figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ch-002-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Twin hotel guest room display with beds, headboard wall and desk at a Foshan hotel-furniture showroom\" class=\"wp-image-294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ch-002-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ch-002-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ch-002-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ch-002-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ch-002.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Huatian&#8217;s Lecong showroom presents complete guest rooms, so fixed and loose furniture can be judged together before a model room is built.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Showroom collections are the fastest route for boutique projects: choose a collection, change fabric, finish and dimensions, and most of the model-room time disappears. Factory-direct development suits projects above about 100 keys or where brand drawings must be followed exactly. In both cases verify the legal entity behind the showroom \u2013 its business licence, its factory address and whether it manufactures or trades \u2013 using the checks in our guide to <a href=\"\/fr\/china-furniture-manufacturers\/\">finding and verifying China furniture manufacturers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A two-day pattern works well: day one in Lecong showrooms in the morning and Longjiang factories in the afternoon; day two in Dongguan Houjie, about an hour east, where export-grade contract factories supply international hotel brands, or in Foshan&#8217;s stone and lighting workshops for lobby pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-source-foshan-helps\">How Source Foshan helps with hotel FF&amp;E projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source Foshan is a local sourcing team in Foshan and Dongguan, not a manufacturer and not a marketplace. For hotel projects the team turns your FF&amp;E schedule into an options sheet per line item \u2013 FOB unit price, frame and cover, lead time \u2013 drawn from 300+ vetted suppliers, then manages the model room, the orders and the inspections so you deal with one accountable contact. Quotes are compared and negotiated for a stated service fee with no hidden markups: transparent, compared pricing, never &#8216;guaranteed cheapest&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Production is tracked with weekly photo updates and inspected at seven checkpoints from material selection to shipment approval, with a full pre-shipment photo and video report item by item before you release the balance. Export packing follows a written standard \u2013 foam and corner protection, moisture barriers, custom wooden crates, bilingual and room-by-room labelling \u2013 and several suppliers are consolidated into one shipment with container planning and destination delivery coordination. Design studios can work under their own brand with NDAs through our <a href=\"\/fr\/for-designers\/\">FF&amp;E sourcing service for designers<\/a>. Guided Foshan buying visits start at USD 150 per day.

Most Longjiang and Lecong hospitality suppliers accept boutique orders of 20\u201340 keys, usually by adapting a showroom collection with your fabric, finish and dimensions rather than developing new casegoods. Expect unit prices 10\u201320% above large-project levels and a shorter model-room phase. Consolidating guestroom, public-area and outdoor furniture into one or two containers keeps freight per key reasonable.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Do Chinese factories hold fire test certificates, or do I need to test?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Established hospitality factories hold test reports for their standard foams and fabrics, typically CAL TB 117-2013, BS 5852 Crib 5 or EN 1021. Those reports cover the tested combination only, so a new fabric on a stock foam needs a new test. Budget USD 300\u2013800 per combination at an accredited laboratory and allow two to three weeks; confirm the required standard with your fire authority before ordering.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Should I buy mattresses with the furniture package?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can, and Foshan&#8217;s Nanhai district has a large mattress industry, but mattresses are usually procured separately because they follow different fire rules (for example 16 CFR 1633 in the US) and often a brand-approved specification. If you do combine them, ship mattresses in the same containers as beds and label them by room type, and ask for the fire certificate specific to the destination market.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How do I get brand approval for a Chinese hotel-furniture supplier?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Major brands keep lists of approved or previously audited factories and require samples that meet their design standards. The route is to obtain the brand&#8217;s current standard from its design team, share it with the shortlisted factory, build the model room to that standard and submit the test reports. Some Dongguan and Foshan factories already supply international brands, which shortens approval considerably.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What deposit and payment terms are normal for a hotel furniture order?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 30% deposit at order, a milestone payment during production and the balance after an approved pre-shipment inspection is the common structure; 100% upfront should be refused. Pay by bank transfer to the company account named on the contract. Letters of credit are used on large orders but add bank cost and paperwork, so most 100-key projects stay with staged transfers tied to inspection dates.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Should hotel casegoods ship assembled or knock-down?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assembled casegoods install faster and arrive with fewer damaged edges, which is why most 4- and 5-star projects ship them that way, accepting 30\u201340% more container volume. Knock-down suits economy and midscale projects with an assembly crew on site and long freight routes. Beds, tables and banquet furniture are almost always knock-down. Decide before the model room so packaging is prototyped too.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What warranty do hotel furniture suppliers in China give?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two to five years on structure is typical for hospitality casegoods and seating, one to two years on fabric, finish and moving hardware. The warranty is only useful if the contract names the entity, the remedy (repair, replacement parts or credit) and who pays freight. Holding 2\u20133% attic stock of fabric, glides and hinges resolves most in-service issues faster than any claim.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How does sourcing for a soft-goods renovation differ from a new build?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renovations replace headboards, seating, window treatments, carpet and lamps while keeping casegoods, so the order is upholstery-heavy, smaller in volume and often phased floor by floor around occupancy. Measure existing casegoods precisely, match finishes with physical samples, and plan deliveries in floor batches. Production runs 30\u201360 days rather than 60\u201390, and a mock-up in one live room replaces the full model room.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Do you source furniture for serviced apartments and aparthotels, not only hotels?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Multi-unit residential projects of 10\u201350 identical units \u2014 serviced apartments, aparthotels, holiday-rental buildings \u2014 are run as one consolidated order with a specification sheet per unit type and control samples instead of a model room. A one-bedroom package costs indicatively USD 3,000\u20136,000 ex-works and packs to 8\u201312 m\u00b3 assembled, so 20 units are two to three 40 ft high-cube containers delivered by building and floor.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Can pool and beach furniture be included in a hotel furniture order from China?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Outdoor pieces are specified on the same FF&amp;E schedule, sourced from specialist outdoor factories, inspected on the same trip and loaded as their own zone. Specify salt-spray hours, EN 581 and cushion fabric rather than appearance; a 20-lounger pool package runs about USD 24,000\u201348,000 ex-works and 250 beach loungers are priced per piece in our outdoor guide.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How long does a hotel or apartment furniture order take to reach France or the EU?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow five to six months from brief to installed rooms: 2\u20133 weeks for compared quotes, 3\u20135 weeks for samples or a model room, 60\u201390 days of production, 1\u20132 weeks for inspection and packing, 25\u201335 days of sea freight to Le Havre or Fos-sur-Mer, and 1\u20132 weeks for clearance and delivery booking.
