package rather than a shopping list: one written specification per item, a factory chosen for the category (casegoods, upholstery or fixed joinery), an approved mock-up room before bulk production, and deliveries packed and labelled by floor. Chinese factories will make almost anything to drawings; what they will not do on their own is check your local fire, accessibility and durability rules, so those must be written into the order by your consultants.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"nums\">\n<div><b>80<\/b><span>monthly Google searches for \u201chotel furniture china\u201d (US, UK, AU, CA)<\/span><\/div>\n<div><b>50\u2013230 cm<\/b><span>vanity widths one Chinese maker offers to order<\/span><\/div>\n<div><b>~7 weeks<\/b><span>Foshan warehouse to installed, one Australian host&#8217;s timeline<\/span><\/div>\n<div><b>3\u20135%<\/b><span>Source Foshan&#8217;s fee, shown separately from the factory price<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"what-does-buying-hotel-furniture-from-china-actually-cover\">What does buying hotel furniture from China actually cover?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Everything that is built off site: guestroom casegoods, upholstered seating, fixed joinery, bathroom vanities, lobby and restaurant furniture, and often lighting and doors.<\/strong> Chinese hotel-furniture makers describe their scope in three groups \u2014 fixed furniture, loose furniture and upholstered furniture \u2014 and several add doors and timber wall panelling. That split matters, because a factory that builds excellent wardrobes and headboard walls may buy in its sofas.<\/p>\n<p>Items that usually stay local are the ones with heavy certification or short replacement cycles: mattresses in some markets, fire-rated door sets, and anything that must be fitted by a licensed trade.

Those claims can be true and still say nothing about whether the factory can build your headboard to your tolerance.<\/p>\n<p>The questions that separate factories are practical: who does the shop drawings, whether upholstery is made in-house, how they finish veneer edges on fixed joinery, and whether they have packed for export before.

Requirements differ by country, city and building type, so the project&#8217;s fire consultant decides; the factory supplies test reports.<\/li>\n<li><b>Accessibility:<\/b> accessible rooms may need different desk, wardrobe-rail and vanity heights; confirm with your access consultant and draw them separately.<\/li>\n<li><b>Mock-up room:<\/b> a complete room \u2014 or at least one of each key item \u2014 built and approved before bulk production.

A Longjiang export seller told a New York enquirer that custom pieces take about 15\u201325 days to make and 45\u201355 days by sea. A Sydney holiday-rental owner logged her shipment: into a Foshan warehouse on 21 January, sailed on 28 January, in port on 24 February and delivered on 10 March. Neither includes drawings, samples or the mock-up, which usually take longer than production.<\/p>\n<p>For hotels, how the goods arrive matters as much as when. Ask for cartons packed and labelled <b>by floor and room type<\/b>, so the site team can unload a floor at a time; split containers if the building will be handed over in stages. Goods from several factories should meet in one <a href=\"\/nl\/blog\/furniture-consolidation-warehouse-foshan\/\">consolidatiemagazijn<\/a>, be checked there and loaded in installation order.

For stock items in volume \u2014 a retailer&#8217;s range or a chain&#8217;s standard chair \u2014 that can be fine.

We follow the mock-up and bulk production with weekly photos and video, inspect every item against the approved spec before loading, and consolidate goods from several factories in our Foshan warehouse, re-packed to export standard and labelled by floor and room. Deposits \u2014 as low as 10% on many orders \u2014 go to each supplier&#8217;s company account, and balances are released only after you approve the inspection report. Our fee is 3\u20135% of order value, agreed in writing before any factory is contacted; we take no supplier commissions. We do not certify fire or accessibility compliance \u2014 your consultants set those requirements and we check that the factory&#8217;s documents match them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"arc\"><b>Liever kiezen uit een kant-en-klare catalogus?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>For boutique hotels and serviced apartments that need well-made pieces rather than fully custom ones, we recommend Arcaya Living: its trade programme for designers draws on a catalogue of more than 10,000 pieces, backed by a five-stage quality process and a delivery service that runs through to installation with packaging removed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arc-links\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arcayaliving.com\/pages\/for-designers\">Arcaya for designers and trade<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/arcayaliving.com\/pages\/quality-control\">Hoe Arcaya de kwaliteit controleert<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/arcayaliving.com\/pages\/shipping-delivery\">Levering en installatie<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"faq\" id=\"faq\">\n<h2>Veelgestelde vragen<\/h2>\n<details>\n<summary>Is it cheaper to buy hotel furniture from China?<\/summary>\n<p>Usually, for custom casegoods and upholstery made to drawings, but the saving depends on what you compare against and on landed cost \u2014 freight, duty, local delivery and installation. Compare like for like: the same specification quoted by two or three factories, plus shipping and duty estimates from your forwarder and broker.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How do I find a reliable hotel furniture manufacturer in China?<\/summary>\n<p>Shortlist by category, visit or video-audit the production line, and order a sample to your own drawing before committing. Ask for references from projects of a similar size that you can actually contact, and put inspection before the balance payment in the contract.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do Chinese factories make furniture to hotel fire standards?<\/summary>\n<p>Many can supply fabrics and foams tested to specific standards, but they will not know your local requirement unless you tell them. The project&#8217;s fire consultant should name the standard; the factory then supplies test reports for the materials used, which you check before bulk production.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is a hotel mock-up room?<\/summary>\n<p>A full-size sample room, or a set of key pieces, built to the approved specification and checked before bulk production starts. It confirms fit, finish, comfort and installation details, and is the cheapest point at which to change anything.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How long does hotel furniture from China take to arrive?<\/summary>\n<p>For a straightforward guestroom package, plan roughly three to five months from signed specification to installation. Production itself is often a few weeks; drawings, samples, the mock-up and ocean freight take most of the time.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can hotel furniture from several Chinese factories ship together?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes. Goods from different factories can be received into one consolidation warehouse, inspected, re-packed and loaded in installation order, labelled by floor and room type. That is how Source Foshan ships multi-supplier projects.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"keep\" id=\"keep-reading\">\n<h2>Verder lezen<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/nl\/inkoop-van-hotelmeubilair-in-china\/\">Hotel furniture sourcing<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/nl\/inkoop-van-projectmeubilair-in-china\/\">Sourcing van contractmeubilair<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/nl\/blog\/furniture-sourcing-agent-china-guide\/\">Meubel-sourcingagenten in China<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"sources\">\n<h2>Bronnen<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"sources\">\n<li>Xiaohongshu maker\/seller source note (2026-09-12, 2,495 likes, 278 comments). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xiaohongshu.com\/explore\/6aa52a95000000001001f6aa\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bekijk bron<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Xiaohongshu maker\/seller source note (2026-04-02, 136 likes, 21 comments). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xiaohongshu.com\/explore\/69cde5f1000000001a02338a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bekijk bron<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Xiaohongshu buyer source note (2026-03-29, 193 likes, 48 comments). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xiaohongshu.com\/explore\/69c8746e000000001a021352\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bekijk bron<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Xiaohongshu maker\/seller source note (2024-04-03, 580 likes, 429 comments). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xiaohongshu.com\/explore\/660cb9c4000000001b00dd2f\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bekijk bron<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Xiaohongshu maker\/seller source note (2025-04-10, 274 likes, 16 comments). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xiaohongshu.com\/explore\/67f723d6000000001d017bda\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bekijk bron<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Xiaohongshu buyer source note (2025-11-23, 1,968 likes, 91 comments). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xiaohongshu.com\/explore\/69230c1c000000001e000c57\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bekijk bron<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Xiaohongshu maker\/seller source note (2020-10-15, 3,026 likes, 29 comments). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xiaohongshu.com\/explore\/5f87bf740000000001005563\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bekijk bron<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Xiaohongshu buyer source note (2025-12-04, 609 likes, 19 comments). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xiaohongshu.com\/explore\/69319556000000001e02a348\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bekijk bron<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"cta\">\n<h2>Furnishing a hotel, restaurant or serviced-apartment project?<\/h2>\n<p>Send the FF&#038;E schedule or drawings.
