When buying furniture in large bulk from a furniture manufacturer, you’re making a big commitment, and therefore it’s important to focus on both quality and value of each furnishing piece. Whether you’re furnishing an office space, a hotel, or your home, the furniture you choose and buy will influence the visual appeal and functionality of your space.
Here are ten important tips that will help you in thoroughly selecting manufactures and their products.
Start with sample
Before commiting a full purchase, start with ordering a few furnishing pieces. This will help you to check the quality, durability, and comfort of the pieces before buying a large quantity for your home. This will help you to identify any issues early, like poor quality or uncomfortable designs. This step can save you from a very expensive mistake if the bulk order doesn’t meet your standards.
Check for warranty informations
A warranty is like a safety net for you, protecting against any manufacturing defects or issues that might come up after the bulk order is delivered. Always ask for a detailed explanation of what the warranty of the pieces covers, from repairs, replacements, to return options. Also, have a clear understanding of the claim process of warranty, including deadlines for raising issues.
Check material certification
Material certifications are a very important aspect of the quality of the furnishings and durability of your wholesale furniture purchase. While making a purchase, take note of the materials used in construction. Remember, good quality products will contribute to the longevity and durability of your furniture pieces!
Craftsmanship and construction
Furniture pieces constructed with high quality raw materials will withstand any condition and will last longer, making your purchase worth the money. On the other hand, poorly constructed furnishings won’t last long, which will lead to high replacement costs and dissatisfaction. So, check the construction quality and raw material to understand how well the furniture will last over the years.
Check manufacturer's history
Furniture manufacturer’s past records and reputation in the market gives you an insight into the reliability and quality of furnishings. Wholesale manufacturers with a good and clean record of furniture construction & delivering quality products are dependable and trustworthy. Check the reliability by reviewing how they handled previous orders, the response time to complaints, and their overall practices.
Ask about customization options
Customization is important if you want some specific design while making a bulk purchase from a wholesale furniture store . If you’re furnishing a space, like a hotel, office or your home, you will want your furniture to reflect your flair or if you want to accommodate unique dimensions, then customisation is absolutely necessary. Check if your manufacturer offers these services and then make a final choice and place your order.
Delivery and assemble conditions
Delivery and assembly services are often ignored but significantly impact the convenience and process of your purchase. Confirm whether the wholesale manufacturer offers delivery services, and if yes, are there any additional costs. Assembly of products is another important point, some manufacturers provide on-site assembly, which will save the hassle of assembling furniture pieces.
Pay attention to reviews
Customer feedback provides honest reviews of the manufacturer and their quality of products and services. Read online reviews, reach out to other businesses to compare quality and feedback. From the product quality to assembly of pieces, from delivery to post purchase customer service, every review is important while making a final choice.
Check for manufacturer’s customer service
Customer service is a reflection of how the wholesale manufacturer operates. Response time to inquiries to helpful customer service, can make the bulk purchase process easier and smooth. If you have any question about quality, quantity, delivery, or anything post-purchase, it’s important that your manufacturer is reachable. Poor customer service can lead to delays, unresolved issues which can be frustrating.
Investigating these factors in advance can help you make a better decision and find furniture pieces that not only look good and are comfortable but also last long!
