What do furniture prices depend on?

1. Quality of materials

Surely price will also depend on what kind of material furniture is made of: MDF, solid wood. Different wood species cost different and have different characteristics: simple pine or zebrawood. Even the same type of wood will be divided by grades.

If we’re talking of upholstered furniture it’s quality of leather and textile used. The outside of your furniture will show first if the production quality is not the greatest.

Finishing and accessories quality: rivets, seams, sliding elements etc. make sure the finish is good because nobody wants a wooden wardrobe to fall apart because of the cheap accessories.

Our managers do quality checks for every client and can say what quality furniture is. In any case, it’s better to aim for mid-high and high price segments as they cost much more in your country.

2. Craftsmanship

Higher skill-category workers have a higher salary and it’s directly affecting the final cost of the furniture. A good factory is easy to spot: detailed smooth and elegant carving.

3. Delivery from Foshan, China to your city

Delivery to each city calculated individually and depends not only on the city but exact delivery address, roads or the particular location local rules and regulations.

Classic Victorian style furniture takes up a lot of space in the container because it’s made of solid wood and in most of the cases can’t be disassembled.

It’s very expensive to ship furniture by groupage cargo, living alone it’s not safe. Delivering by the whole container you don’t need to worry about furniture weight, a full container of solid wood furniture never exceed the container weight limits.

4. Customs clearance

Customs clearance in China is relatively cheap so the main part of the customs clearance is happening in the port of delivery.

Customs taxes and rates depend on the country and change quite often. We recommend getting a local customs broker who also does inbound logistics (local delivery).
