Direct answer
Can I source a dining table from Foshan through Source Foshan?
Yes. Source Foshan sources dining tables from Foshan furniture factories and stone workshops for overseas buyers: solid oak, ash and walnut tables, veneer tables, travertine, marble and sintered stone tables, and extendable or fully custom designs. The buyer sends a reference image with the length, width or diameter and the number of seats. Source Foshan's team in Foshan finds matching suppliers, confirms the shop drawing, slab photos, thickness, edge profile and base connection, tracks production with photo updates, inspects the finished table, and packs stone tops in plywood crates before consolidating them with the rest of the order into one shipment.

Materials & construction
What these pieces are made of, and what to confirm.
Dining tables go wrong in two places: the stone top and the wood top. Source Foshan checks both against the points below before a deposit is paid.
What can be customised
Configuration Foshan factories usually accept.
- Length, width and diameterFoshan table factories build custom sizes on made-to-order pieces; the dimensioned drawing fixes the final size before the deposit.
- Top materialThe same base is often available from Foshan suppliers with a wood, travertine, marble or sintered stone top; weight, price and crate change with it.
- Edge profileFoshan stone workshops cut square, bevelled, bullnose or mitred drop edges; the profile is agreed on the drawing, not after cutting.
- Base design and finishFoshan factories can usually adapt trestle, pedestal, conical and metal bases and finish them in the stain, powder coat or plating specified.
- Extension mechanismExtendable tables are available from selected Foshan factories; confirm the mechanism, leaf storage and the closed and open lengths.
- Knock-down or assembledFoshan factories can ship bases loose to cut packed CBM, or fully assembled where the piece and the delivery access allow it.
What buyers should check
Confirm these before production is approved.
Tabletop and seating
- Final length, width or diameter and height on a dimensioned drawing
- Seating capacity checked against chair width and base or leg position
- Tabletop weight in kg for stone; confirm the base and floor carry it
- Slab photos approved; veining direction and fill colour agreed
- Thickness in millimetres, including any substrate under the slab
- Finish sample approved for wood; sealing confirmed for stone
Base, delivery and packing
- Base stability tested on the first article with a corner push
- KD versus assembled: which parts ship loose and which fixings are included
- Access: lift, stairwell and doorway sizes checked against the top
- Export crate: plywood with foam and corner protection for stone and glass
- Packed CBM and gross weight per table stated on the quote

How Source Foshan handles dining tables
From your reference to a checked, consolidated shipment.
The same steps run whether you buy one piece or a whole package; see furniture sourcing & consolidation for the full process.
- Send a table referenceSend Source Foshan a reference image with the length, width or diameter, the number of seats and the top material you prefer.
- Match suppliers and compare quotesSource Foshan matches the reference to Foshan table factories or stone workshops and returns compared quotes with the factory price and service fee stated separately.
- Approve drawing, slab and samplesA dimensioned drawing, slab photos or a stain sample, the edge profile and the base connection are approved before any deposit.
- First article and productionCustom tables typically take 4–10 weeks; Source Foshan checks the first article and sends weekly photo updates from the factory.
- Inspect and crateThe finished table is inspected against its drawing, then the top is crated in plywood with foam and the base packed separately with bilingual labels.
- Consolidate and shipThe table joins the rest of the order in Source Foshan's Foshan warehouse for one shipment, typically 2–6 weeks by sea door to door.

What clients say
They came for the prices. They stayed for the process.
Homeowners, designers and project buyers on what it was actually like to source furniture through a local team in Foshan.
★★★★★
Honestly, I expected a tour guide and got a project manager. Grace walked us through Lecong in two days, kept every quote in one spreadsheet, and the container turned up with nothing broken. We'd budgeted for a few disasters. There weren't any.
★★★★★
We're a small studio and can't fly to China for every job. Sent the FF&E list on a Monday, had three priced options per line by Thursday. The QC photos before the balance payment are the part my clients love.
★★★★★
The sofa we wanted was about a third of the London showroom price in the same fabric. What actually sold me was Luke measuring the frame at the factory before they upholstered it. You don't get that from a website.
★★★★★
I was nervous about paying a factory I'd never met. Everything went into one quote, deposits went to company accounts, and Wolina sent photos every week. Boring in the best possible way.
★★★★★
Our 42-room hotel needed a model room before we committed to anything. They arranged the factory visit and the sample room, and caught two spec mistakes I'd missed on the schedule. Worth it for that alone.
★★★★★
Three suppliers, one container, one set of documents. That sentence alone saved me weeks of emails.

See the projects behind the wordsCan I buy a travertine dining table from Foshan?
Yes. Travertine dining tables are made by stone workshops and furniture factories around Foshan, usually on a fluted, pedestal or metal base. Source Foshan sends slab photos for approval, confirms whether the pores are filled or open, the fill colour, sealing, thickness and edge profile on a drawing, and has the top crated in plywood with foam before it ships with the rest of the order.
How thick should a marble or travertine dining table top be?
The right thickness depends on the span of the top, the base design and whether a substrate sits under the slab, so there is no single answer. What matters is that the thickness in millimetres, the substrate and the fixing plates are written on the drawing before cutting. Source Foshan confirms these with the Foshan workshop and checks the finished top against the drawing during inspection.
Will my marble table from Foshan look like the photo?
Not exactly. Natural marble and travertine vary from slab to slab, so the veining and colour of the finished table will differ from a catalogue or Pinterest image. Source Foshan works around this by sending photos of the actual slab reserved for the order, agreeing the veining direction, and showing the buyer the cut top in the QC report before the balance is paid.
Should I source a solid wood or a veneer dining table?
Solid oak, ash or walnut tops show real edge grain, can be sanded and refinished, and cost more; they also move with humidity, so the construction needs breadboard ends or slotted fixings. Veneer tops on an MDF or plywood core are lighter, more stable and cheaper, but cannot be refinished deeply. Source Foshan confirms which one is quoted and approves a finish sample either way.
How is a stone dining table shipped from Foshan?
The stone top and the base travel separately. The top goes into a plywood crate with foam, corner protection and a moisture barrier, following Source Foshan's written packing standard; the base ships in its own carton or crate with bilingual labels. Packaging is verified as one of the seven quality checkpoints, and the crated table is photographed before shipment approval.
Can Foshan factories make an extendable dining table?
Yes, selected Foshan table factories make extendable tables with butterfly leaves, slide-out leaves or a central drop-in leaf. Because the mechanism affects the base design and the packed size, Source Foshan confirms the closed and open lengths, how the leaf is stored, and the mechanism type on the shop drawing before production, and tests the extension on the first article.
How long does a custom dining table take from Foshan?
Custom dining tables typically take 4–10 weeks in production, with solid wood at the shorter end and stone tops at the longer end because slab selection, cutting and sealing add time. Showroom stock ships in 1–3 weeks. Sea freight then takes 2–6 weeks door to door. Source Foshan confirms the timeline with the supplier before the order is placed.
