With this topic being said, we're actually standing in clients’ shoes to think about how and where to purchase hotel furniture for their ongoing hotel projects. With our experiences by receiving and servicing so many clients these years, we figure out that, most of them have headache about:
1.How and where to find the right supplier who can produce hotel furniture in their furniture lists/BOQs.
2.Is the supplier professional, and reliable?
3.How about the quality?
4. How to make sure they can customize as per requirements?
5. How about the quality of service and communication?
6. What about the price level? Low / medium/ high?
... ...
However, one of the most practical fact is, if clients are looking for custom-made hotel furniture from China, the most important thing is to find the right supplier who is able to provide the right product & services with the right price, reasonable price (not too high and not too low). Not necessarily lowest price, because there is only lower, no lowest in the market with fierce competition. That’s really true. However, believe in one thing, good things always come with good materials and services only, and it always need the foundation support to maintain, which is reasonable profit.
Because some of the furniture factories (esp in the past), may sacrifice quality in order to meet the target low price only and get the deal to survive temporarily. Think about the reality that, nowadays, with the increasing salary and operation costs, how can a factory keep attracting good workers to stay with them if without proper profit? Without experienced workers, how can they keep on making good furniture? Worse still, by making poor quality furniture, how can they keep getting orders to survive?
Maybe there’s only one way out, by always getting new clients… and do their one-time business …
But are there really so many new clients in this sector? Maybe yes, those who always looking for lowest price…
Believe it or not, but this is the truth in the furniture industry here in China. That’s why, sometimes, it is hard to find a good supplier who can deal with for long term, likewise, it’s also hard to find a good client.
Finally, sincerely hope below article can give you some tips when purchasing hotel furniture.
