Choose on proof, not on a catalogue price. A good partner in Foshan shows you the real materials, produces to your drawings, inspects and photographs every piece before it is wrapped, and consolidates everything into one shipment with one point of responsibility. For a whole interior, one partner coordinating many specialist factories is usually safer than dealing with each factory yourself.
Checklist before you order
- Real materials. See the exact stone, veneer, fabric and hardware, in the showroom or on a live video call, with close-up photos.
- Drawings. Production should follow approved technical drawings, not a photo from a catalogue.
- Inspection before shipping. Every piece checked against the drawings, the finish and the hardware, photographed and filmed.
- Packing. Export packing, labelled by room.
- Consolidation. One warehouse where all factories deliver, one container, one manifest.
- After-sales. A clear process for damaged or missing pieces.
- Communication. One contact who answers in your language and time zone.

Frequently asked
How do I check a furniture factory in Foshan?
See the real materials, ask for production to your drawings, agree an inspection before shipping with photos and video, and check who handles packing, consolidation and damage claims.
Do I need a sourcing company in Foshan?
If you are furnishing a whole interior from several factories, a sourcing partner coordinates design, factories, inspection, consolidation and shipping so everything arrives in one container.
Can I visit the factories?
Yes. Andrew One can host you: the showroom, the distribution centre and the factories are all within an hour of each other. You can also walk the showroom on a live video call.
