Furniture

What furniture can I source from Southeast Asia?

Solid-wood dining tables and chairs (acacia, rubberwood, oak), bed frames, wardrobes, rattan and wicker seating, outdoor teak and eucalyptus sets, and hotel/contract furniture. Vietnam supplies most listings, with rattan pieces from Vietnam and the Philippines.

What is the MOQ for furniture?

Low compared with other categories: 10–50 pieces per model is typical, and a 40-foot high-cube container of mixed models is the standard first order. Knock-down (flat-pack) designs ship far more efficiently than assembled pieces.

Which certifications matter for furniture?

FSC or PEFC chain-of-custody for wood, and documentation proving legal timber origin (Vietnam's VNTLAS applies for EU buyers). For upholstered goods, check flammability standards for your market; for children's furniture, the relevant safety standard. Ask for a BSCI or SMETA audit if you sell through large retailers.

How long does a furniture order take?

Sampling 3–5 weeks; production 60–90 days for solid wood (kiln drying is the bottleneck), 30–45 days for rattan; plus sea freight. Wood moisture content should be specified (8–12 % for indoor furniture in temperate markets) and checked at inspection.

How do I ship and insure furniture?

Furniture is volume-driven, so packing design matters more than weight — ask for the CBM per unit and whether the factory offers knock-down packing. Insure the shipment and inspect before loading; escrow release on inspection report protects you. Full guide: How to import Vietnamese wood and rattan furniture.
