Hardware factory since 2012, furniture company since 2023 — same building, same welders, five QC checkpoints.
Most chair suppliers in Foshan buy their frames from someone else. We do not. We started in 2012 as a hardware factory, making the metal parts that chairs are built on. In 2023 we set up the furniture company and began assembling and shipping complete chairs. The metal shop is still ours, which is why a change to a frame dimension is a conversation with our own welder rather than a request to a third party.
Steel tube comes in by the tonne and is cut, bent, welded and ground here. Frames, backrest connectors and the hardware fittings that hold them together are all made in this building. Because the fittings are ours, an order never waits on an outside supplier's schedule.
Cutting, sewing, foam work and final assembly sit next to the metal shop. Chairs are assembled and tested before packing, not shipped flat-packed and assembled somewhere else.
Five checkpoints, each with a person responsible for signing it off:
| Checkpoint | What is checked |
|---|---|
| Incoming material | Steel gauge, tube wall thickness, fabric shade against the approved sample, gas lift batch |
| After welding | Joint penetration, frame squareness, no sharp edges before coating |
| After coating | Colour match, coverage, adhesion, no runs or bare patches |
| At assembly | Mechanism function, gas lift travel, castor roll, armrest fit, recline and lock |
| Before loading | Carton count against the packing list, carton condition, marking, loading plan |
Third-party inspection before shipment is welcome. If your inspector finds a problem, we fix it before the container leaves — not after.
Our gas lifts are supplied with SGS test data against ANSI/BIFMA X5.1-2017 (R2022):
Four of our shapes are registered with the China National Intellectual Property Administration. The numbers are public — you can look them up.
| Patent | Model | Number | Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Office chair | MS-088 | ZL 2023 3 0597184.4 | 2023 |
| Training chair | MS-068 | ZL 2023 3 0683596.X | 2023 |
| Chair seat board | 018 | ZL 2024 3 0058802.2 | 2024 |
| Office chair | OX | ZL 2024 3 0251744.5 | 2024 |
Freight is charged per container, not per chair. Our 088-1 loads 1,040 pcs per 40HQ — about 60% more chairs per container than a standard fixed-frame training chair, which cuts freight per chair by roughly 38%. Two of our own models, side by side:
| 088-1 stackable training chair | 068-3 with writing tablet | |
|---|---|---|
| Pcs per 40HQ | 1,040 | 586 |
| Freight per chair at USD 3,000/40HQ | USD 2.88 | USD 5.12 |
| Freight per chair at USD 5,000/40HQ | USD 4.81 | USD 8.53 |

Share of our Alibaba platform revenue by market. We publish it because "we export worldwide" is not information — this is.
| Market | Share of platform revenue |
|---|---|
| Middle East | 20% |
| North America | 15% |
| South America | 10% |
| Southeast Asia | 10% |
| Africa | 1% |
What this means in practice: if you are buying for the Gulf or for North America, you are buying what we already ship most of, and the packing and paperwork are routine for us. If you are buying for a market where we are thin, say so — we will tell you honestly whether we are the right supplier rather than take the order and learn on your shipment.
We also sell inside China on 1688, the domestic wholesale platform. Those reviews are in Chinese and sit behind a login, so a buyer outside China cannot see them. Here is one, translated.
Across the store, the words buyers use most are build quality, value for money, seat comfort, response speed and packing. We are not quoting those as a score — we are telling you what a domestic buyer checks, because it is usually the same thing an export buyer checks.
We exhibit every year. If you would rather see the chairs in person than in a photo, these are the shows we attend:
| Show | When |
|---|---|
| Indonesia International Furniture Expo | June 2026 |
| China International Furniture Fair (CIFF), Guangzhou | March 2026 |
| International Exhibition for Furniture | November 2025 |
| Malaysian International Furniture Fair (MIFF) | March 2025 |
| China International Furniture Fair (CIFF), Guangzhou | March 2025 |
CIFF Guangzhou 2027 runs 28–31 March at the Canton Fair complex in Pazhou — about an hour from our factory. Message us before the show and we will hold time for you at the booth and arrange a factory visit on the same trip.
Factory: 2nd Floor, Building A, No. 3 Jianshe 2nd Road, Jibei Village, Longjiang Town, Shunde, Foshan, Guangdong, China
Showroom: Mingshi Furniture Experience Hall, 8F Block M, Huangchao, Lecong International Furniture City, Shunde, Foshan
A factory. We started in 2012 as a hardware fittings workshop and still run our own metal shop and assembly in Longjiang, Shunde, Foshan. There is no trading company between you and the workshop.
Yes to both. We are in Longjiang, Shunde, Foshan, about 40 minutes from Guangzhou South railway station, and our showroom is in Lecong International Furniture City. Third-party inspection before shipment is welcome — tell us the inspection company and we will book the date.
Our gas lifts carry SGS test data against ANSI/BIFMA X5.1-2017 (R2022): swivel durability 120,000 cycles and seat impact 100,000 cycles, report SDHL250400594401FT (2025). For a whole-chair report covering the full standard, we can arrange testing on request — tell us which standard your project requires.
It depends on the model. Our stackable training chair 088-1 loads 1,040 pcs per 40HQ. Model 068-3 with writing tablet and book basket loads 586 pcs per 40HQ. Executive chairs load far fewer because each carton holds one chair — A510 is 264 pcs per 40HQ.
About 30 days after deposit for standard models across our 169-model range. Custom colours add 5 to 7 days. We confirm the exact date in writing before you pay a deposit.
Yes. Logo can be printed or embossed on the backrest, frames can be powder-coated to your reference, and fabric or PU can be matched to a sample you send. See our OEM page for the details.
