PRODUCT GUIDE
Chair mechanisms, desk tops, cable management and flat-pack hardware: the specification details a catalogue photo never shows, and the ones that drive complaints later.
Remote and hybrid work turned the home office from a small niche into a year-round category for retailers, importers and project buyers. It is also a category where a photograph hides most of what matters: mechanism quality, cable management, stability, the feel of a chair after two hours, and whether a flat-pack desk survives a long journey. Here are the specification points worth settling before you request a quotation for home office furniture from Foshan.
Buyers often source all four from different workshops. That is normal, and it is why we plan the order as one range with one master list rather than four separate purchases — see our consolidation guide.
Ask for the mechanism type, the adjustment range, the gas lift class, the base material and diameter, and the castor type for the floor surfaces your customers use. Then state the upholstery or mesh, the foam, the colour reference and the armrest adjustment. A chair that looks right in a catalogue but twists under load is the most common complaint in this category. Our price list (PDF) lists model numbers, dimensions and materials as a starting point for the comparison.
For the top, specify the board or solid material, thickness, surface finish, edge banding and colour reference. For the frame, specify the tube gauge, coating, cross-bracing and levelling feet. Cable management is worth its own line: port position, tray or channel, and how it works with a monitor arm. If the desk is height-adjustable, state the range, the control type and the loaded behaviour. Flat-pack designs also need the assembly sequence, the hardware pack and the instruction language agreed in writing.
Home office products are usually knocked down, which makes packaging engineering part of product quality. Specify the carton grade, corner and edge protection, foam or honeycomb inserts, the hardware bag and its labelling, and a drop-safe internal layout. Ask for the assembly instruction sheet in every language you sell in. Our quality inspection checks the carton, the hardware pack and the printed sheet alongside the furniture itself.
Sit in the chair. Assemble the desk using only the supplied sheet. Check the drawer runners and the shelf stability. Then record the approval with dated photos and a written spec, and keep a signed sample as the reference for production and pre-shipment inspection. Our sample approval guide walks through the process; the broader pre-order checklist is in what to check before buying furniture from China. Samples are charged at the bulk price and a single unit can be sent on its own.
If the line carries your own label, agree the logo placement, carton artwork, SKU convention and instruction-sheet wording at the start — our private-label guide covers that in detail, and our custom service shows what partner factories can change. For retailers and distributors building a full range, our retailer page and importer page give more context.
Send us the categories, the destination market and any reference models. We will come back with written specifications, sample options and a quotation. Start a quote, or see our Order Process & Terms and FAQ for the commercial details.
What should be in a home office furniture specification?
For chairs: mechanism, adjustment range, gas lift, base, castors and upholstery. For desks: top material and thickness, edge treatment, frame gauge, cable management and the flat-pack hardware pack. Add packaging, assembly instructions and your branding assets. One written document per model prevents most disputes.
Can I combine chairs, desks and storage from different factories in one shipment?
Yes. It is the usual pattern for this category. We build one master packing list, coordinate readiness across the partner factories, check the finished goods against the approved samples and consolidate everything into a single shipment.
Can home office furniture carry my own brand?
Yes. Logo placement, hangtags, instruction sheets, carton artwork and SKU conventions can all be specified. Agree them before sampling so the approved sample represents the final branded product.
