The five manufacturers profiled here are all based in Guangdong — Foshan (Uptop, XYM), Guangzhou (CDG, Liangjiu) and Heshan (Yumeya). For chain rollouts and fit-out projects, the practical shortlist covers Uptop, Yumeya, CDG, Liangjiu and XYM: manufacturers whose own websites list dining chairs, tables, booths, banquet seating and outdoor furniture for export markets. This is an independent, descriptive round-up, compiled by FBM Sourcing as your sourcing agent and sourcing partner in China — FBM Sourcing is not affiliated with these manufacturers.
Note on scope: this list covers loose dining furniture for restaurants, cafes and hotel F&B areas. For the procurement process itself see our product guides to hotel restaurant furniture sourcing and cafe furniture sourcing from China.

Top 5 Restaurant & Cafe Furniture Manufacturers in China
1. Uptop — Foshan, Guangdong
According to its Chinese website, Uptop (中山市上品家具有限公司, with a Foshan company, 佛山市上美优品家具有限公司) was founded in 2011 and moved its production base from Zhongshan to Foshan in 2019. Its product range covers restaurant, hotel and apartment, bar, office and outdoor furniture, and the site says its products sell in more than 100 countries and regions.
What to know: established 2011; production base in Foshan since 2019 (the website lists a Foshan company address in Longjiang Town, Shunde District). Verdict: worth pricing when a chain or fit-out needs restaurant, hotel and bar furniture from one maker; ask for the documents listed in the evidence section below.
2. Yumeya — Heshan, Guangdong
Yumeya says on its website that it was founded in 1998 and makes metal wood-grain commercial chairs — metal frames finished with a wood-grain look — for restaurant and hotel banquet seating among other sectors. It cites more than 10,000 cases in over 80 countries and regions, and a 10-year warranty that it says currently applies to frames and molded foam.
What to know: address on its website: Zhennan Industry, Heshan City, Guangdong. Verdict: a candidate to price for restaurant and hotel banquet seating where a wood look on a metal frame is wanted; ask for the frame test reports and the warranty terms in writing.
3. CDG — Guangzhou, Guangdong
Guangzhou CDG Furniture Co., Ltd. says on its website that it was founded in 2006 and makes commercial restaurant, garden, outdoor, hotel and bar tables and chairs, including metal chairs with vintage and antique hand finishes. The site says its products have sold in more than 160 countries and that it has passed BSCI and FSC certifications.
What to know: founded 2006; office and showroom in Huadu District, Guangzhou; the website cites more than 1,000 product series. Verdict: worth pricing for cafe, bar and restaurant scopes that want catalogue breadth plus custom design; ask for the BSCI and FSC documents and check them with the issuer.
4. Liangjiu — Guangzhou (Panyu), Guangdong
Liangjiu (Guangzhou Liangjiu Furniture Co., Ltd., international brand LONGG Furniture) says on its website that it was founded in 2016 and gives a factory and showroom address in Panyu District, Guangzhou. Its range lists restaurant tables, chairs, bar stools, booths, restaurant sets and outdoor furniture — a practical single source when a fit-out spans dining room, bar and terrace.
What to know: founded 2016; factory and showroom address: Shawan Street, Panyu District, Guangzhou. Verdict: worth pricing for mixed indoor-outdoor scopes where one supplier for dining room, bar and terrace is preferred.

Manufacturer vs Sourcing Agent on a Chain Rollout
A multi-unit restaurant buildout can involve several factories: booths from a booth specialist, chairs from a metal-seating plant, marble or sintered-stone tops from a stone factory, plus lighting and millwork. Each manufacturer answers only for its own line — a china sourcing agent answers for the whole package. On chain projects FBM Sourcing prices each category at audited factory level, runs samples, inspects finished goods before shipment with our own inspection team, and consolidates mixed orders into shared containers per site opening — the model described in our guide to restaurant chain buildouts from China. For suppliers you nominate our commission is 5%, and products we source for you are quoted at a direct price; booth-heavy layouts can fold in banquette seating procurement under the same QC program.
Which Manufacturer for Which Restaurant Project?
Restaurant furniture selection is driven by seat type and traffic, not by brand preference. The table maps the scopes that come up on commercial F&B projects to the makers above, with the condition that would move the answer somewhere else.
| Project scenario | Shortlist from this list | Why it fits | What would change the answer |
|---|---|---|---|
| International chain rollout across several countries | Uptop | Range spans restaurant, hotel, bar and outdoor furniture, which suits repeat-site programmes that want fewer suppliers | A single flagship site, where a package supplier adds little |
| High-traffic casual dining and banquet seating | Yumeya | Metal-frame chairs with a wood-grain finish, listed by the maker for restaurant and hotel banquet seating | A design that requires genuine solid timber for a visible detail |
| Design-led cafe, bar or brewery | CDG | Metal and industrial-style chairs are among its listed products | Heavily upholstered comfort seating dominating the scope |
| Mixed indoor and terrace scope in one order | Liangjiu | Chairs, tables, booths and bar stools from one source simplifies a mixed layout | Outdoor seating that must meet a specific weathering or fire standard |
| Banquet halls, function rooms and event spaces | XYM | Banquet chairs and folding tables and chairs are listed among its core products | Fixed restaurant seating rather than stackable event furniture |
| Chain programme needing identical seating across waves | No single factory | Batch colour, foam and frame consistency across waves is a control problem, not a capacity one | A single-wave order, where batch drift cannot occur |
For any multi-site programme, a key question is whether the same fabric lot, foam density and powder-coat batch can be held across every wave, and whether attic stock was produced in the original run — a replacement chair made a year later may not match the ones already in the dining room.
Evidence to Request Before You Shortlist
Every factory will show you a certificate wall. What matters is whether the paperwork matches the exact products on your schedule — put these items in your RFQ and treat slow or partial answers as a signal:
- Contract-seating strength and durability test reports (for example to EN 16139:2025, the European standard for non-domestic seating) for the chair and stool families you are specifying, not residential-grade data
- Stacking-cycle and impact test data for stacking chairs destined for daily back-of-house handling
- Finish cleanability and chemical-resistance data for table tops and seating in food-service environments
- UV and weathering test reports (for example the ISO 4892 series of laboratory light-source exposure methods for plastics, where Part 1:2024 gives the general guidance, or ASTM G154-23, fluorescent UV lamp exposure) for any terrace or outdoor dining lines
- Moisture-resistant core specification for table tops, in writing, with edge-banding detail drawings
- Photographed references for multi-unit restaurant or cafe rollouts, ideally repeat batches for the same brand
- The export packing specification and a written commitment on repeat-batch consistency — same finish codes, same hardware — for later store openings
Standards note, read in October 2026: the Estonian standards body EVS lists EN 16139:2025 (non-domestic seating) as valid from 1 August 2025 and EN 16139:2013 as withdrawn from the same date. EN 16139:2025 states that it does not apply to outdoor seating, ranked seating, office work chairs or chairs for educational institutions, so terrace lines need a different test basis; ask the maker which standard its outdoor report uses.
On FBM Sourcing packages none of this is taken on trust: our own team checks each document against the finished goods when it inspects every order at the factory before shipment, with photo and video records delivered to the client.

FAQ
Who are the main restaurant furniture manufacturers in China?
For export chain and fit-out projects the names profiled here are Uptop (Foshan, restaurant, hotel and bar furniture), Yumeya (Heshan, metal wood-grain chairs), CDG and Liangjiu (Guangzhou, metal chairs and mixed indoor-outdoor ranges) and XYM (Foshan, banquet furniture).
What should chain buyers specify for commercial restaurant chairs from China?
Contract-grade construction: fully welded metal frames or corner-blocked hardwood, commercial-cycle foam, stain-resistant contract fabric or vinyl, and stackability where storage matters. Ask for the destination market’s fire performance on upholstery: in the US, 16 CFR Part 1640 requires upholstered seating furniture for indoor use that is made, imported or reupholstered on or after 25 June 2021 to meet California TB 117-2013 (eCFR text current as of 29 October 2026); for other markets, ask the maker for the local test requirement and report. Confirm frame warranty terms in writing.
Should a restaurant project buy direct from one factory or through a sourcing agent?
Single-category orders — say 500 identical chairs — can go factory-direct. Multi-category fit-outs (chairs, booths, tables, stone tops, lighting) usually run better through a sourcing agent who consolidates factories into one QC and shipping program; FBM Sourcing does this for a 5% commission for suppliers you nominate (products we source for you are quoted at a direct price).
