Conference and boardroom tables are often compared as if they were catalogue products. For a project order, the useful comparison is the production route: system-office furniture, custom veneer casework, metal-frame table production, or an integrated package that includes power and data access.
This 2026 sourcing list is therefore organised by manufacturer type rather than by a long, unverified company roll-call. One listed-company example is included only where a public annual report supports the product scope.
1. Listed system-office furniture manufacturers
Henglin Home Furnishings is a verifiable example in this group. Its 2025 annual report describes office, conference and training tables and chairs. That evidence supports category fit; it does not by itself prove that every model, finish, certificate or destination-market requirement in your brief is available.
Use this manufacturer type when the table must coordinate with task seating, meeting chairs, storage and workstations under one office-furniture package.
2. Custom veneer and casegood manufacturers
This route fits executive boardrooms that call for book-matched veneer, large edge profiles, wall panelling or matching credenzas. Ask for a finish sample, veneer lay-up direction, substrate, edge construction and shop drawing before production.
3. Metal-frame and modular table manufacturers
This group is relevant for training rooms and divisible meeting spaces. Compare frame geometry, levelling, folding or nesting hardware, cable management, carton design and the stability of joined modules.
4. Power-and-data integrated table specialists
A tabletop cut-out is not a complete power solution. State the power-module make, outlet format, plug standard, cable route, access-panel method and who supplies any local electrical components. Keep electrical approvals separate from the furniture finish approval.
5. Hospitality and mixed-FF&E manufacturers
Hotels may need boardroom tables to coordinate with function-room storage, credenzas and loose seating. A mixed package can simplify finish control, but only if responsibility for every line is clear in the quotation and drawing register.
6. What to put in the RFQ
- Overall size, number of seats and required clearances
- Top material, thickness, edge detail and finish reference
- Base construction, floor type and levelling requirement
- Power/data modules, access panels and cable path
- Knock-down limits, lift and doorway constraints, and carton labelling
- Destination, quantity, programme and approval sequence
7. How to compare quotations
Normalise the offers before comparing price. Confirm that each supplier has priced the same dimensions, substrate, veneer or laminate, metal finish, cable management, hardware, packing and installation scope. A lower line price can simply mean that the power module, veneer grade or packing has been excluded.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can one manufacturer supply tables and chairs?
Some system-office manufacturers cover both, but verify the quoted product lines and evidence model by model.
Should a boardroom table be sampled?
For a large custom table, approve materials, finish and critical details first; the full mock-up decision depends on order value and risk.
What is the biggest quotation-comparison trap?
Comparing totals before normalising size, substrate, finish, power modules, hardware and packing.
Who checks production?
FBM Sourcing’s own QC team carries out one inspection after bulk production is complete and before shipment; clients are welcome to attend.
How does FBM Sourcing charge?
For suppliers you nominate, FBM Sourcing charges a 5% commission. For products FBM Sourcing sources, we quote a direct price.
