Commercial Furniture Sourcing

Restaurant, cafe, retail and public-area furniture sourced from Foshan and Guangdong contract-furniture factories, inspected and shipped by full container.

What FBM Sourcing does for commercial furniture on a project

Restaurant chains, cafes, retail fit-outs and public buildings buy furniture in programmes: the same table, chair or booth repeated across sites, with a finish that has to survive daily commercial use. FBM Sourcing manages the entire China procurement package for overseas construction projects, and for commercial furniture we take your furniture schedule and design references, match each item to contract-furniture factories in the Foshan and Guangdong cluster, arrange samples for finish and comfort approval, inspect finished pieces before shipment with our own FBM Sourcing QC team, and consolidate furniture with lighting, tiles or joinery from the same fit-out by full container.

Recent commercial-furniture scopes include outdoor and lounge furniture for a chain-restaurant programme in Dubai, restaurant and bar furniture for a project in South Africa, and marble-top restaurant tables for a chain in the Middle East. All quotations, invoices and shipping documents are issued by FBM Sourcing — you deal with us, and we carry the responsibility. For suppliers you nominate, we charge a 5% commission; for products we source for you, we quote a direct price.

How We Manage Commercial Furniture Sourcing

From furniture schedule to loaded container, one FBM Sourcing team coordinates the samples, the factories, the inspection and the shipping.

01

Inquiry

Send your furniture schedule, design references, quantities per site and destination country. We confirm the factory split and a sourcing plan.

02

Factory & Product Sourcing

We shortlist contract-furniture factories with export records to your market, compare construction and finish options, and arrange samples for approval.

03

Production & QC

We follow production and inspect finished pieces before shipment — dimensions, frame strength, finish, upholstery, glides and packing.

04

Loading Container & Shipping

Furniture is packed and labelled by site or store, and consolidated with the rest of the fit-out package. We always ship by full container.

Frequently asked questions about commercial furniture sourcing

Can you supply the same furniture across many restaurant sites?

Yes. Chain programmes are produced to an approved sample and specification so each site receives matching furniture; we manage repeat orders and finish consistency across batches.

Do you supply outdoor commercial furniture?

Yes. We have delivered WPC and metal outdoor chairs and tables for a chain-restaurant programme in Dubai and terrace furniture within hotel packages.

Can you supply BIFMA or EN tested seating?

Yes. Where the specification requires it, we source from factories with BIFMA X5.1/X5.4 or EN 16139 test reports and confirm they cover the exact model ordered.

How is commercial furniture inspected before shipment?

Our own FBM Sourcing QC team inspects at the factory before shipment: dimensions, frame and joint strength, finish against the approved sample, upholstery, glides and packing. Photos and a report go to you before loading.

How does FBM Sourcing charge for this package?

For suppliers you nominate, we charge a 5% commission; for products we source for you, we quote a direct price. All quotations, invoices and shipping documents are issued by FBM Sourcing.

Before You Place an Order

What should our commercial furniture sourcing brief include?

Furniture schedule by space with quantities, the contract-grade testing standard your project requires (BIFMA X5 series or EN 16139), finish references, and your delivery sequence if the project is phased. FBM Sourcing checks this against factory capability before shortlisting.

What should we confirm about a factory before placing a commercial furniture order?

FBM Sourcing confirms the quoted product has actually been tested to the contract-grade standard specified — not a residential-grade equivalent — requests a sample for construction and finish approval, and documents the approved sample before bulk production starts.
