China’s Furniture Manufacturing Regions: A Buyer’s Guide to Sourcing by Product Type
China’s furniture production is concentrated in regional manufacturing areas. Based on VidooCraft’s sourcing experience, this guide is organised by what you plan to source: each product theme below lists the manufacturing areas, cities, and counties that support it, so overseas buyers can shortlist places to visit and plan the next steps of a sourcing trip.
Use the map to jump between areas, and the product search to go straight to a product type. VidooCraft is based in Shuyang, Suqian, Jiangsu.

Source by Product Type
Each product theme lists the manufacturing areas that support it. The numbered chips open the matching map area.
Panel & Flat-Pack Furniture
Where: Jiangsu — Shuyang, Suqian; Suining/Shaji and Jiawang, Xuzhou; Likou, Suzhou; Huai’an. Shandong — Linyi, Qingdao, Cao County, Heze.
Panel furniture, custom furniture, flat-pack products, and e-commerce supply. Shuyang is VidooCraft’s manufacturing base; the factory produces panel and flat-pack furniture, including TV stands, cabinets, dressers, desks, and storage units. Shaji is known for flat-pack desks, tables, shelves, and storage furniture. Supplier flexibility varies, so confirm product range and order requirements with each factory.
In Shandong, the industry covers wood-based panels, panel furniture, and a broader wood-furniture industry — for panel furniture sourcing, Linyi is a useful place to investigate. The region also has substantial solid-wood and large-furniture production.
Chairs & Small Furniture
Where: Zhejiang — Anji, Yiwu, Nanxun, Jiashan, Yuhuan. Parts of Fujian also supply light and small furniture.
Anji chairs, small furniture, and suppliers that respond quickly to e-commerce demand and changing product trends. Product designs can overlap between suppliers, and minimum order quantities may be higher.
Mixed-Material Furniture
Where: Fujian — Minhou, Fuzhou; Zhangzhou; Anxi.
Furniture combining metal, wood, rattan, glass, and other materials, along with light and small furniture. This area is worth exploring for mixed-material designs.
Development Support & Export-Ready Suppliers (ODM)
Where: Guangdong — Dongguan, Foshan/Shunde, Zhongshan.
ODM development, export experience, product design, sampling, and material sourcing. Guangdong is a useful starting point for buyers who need development support and export-ready suppliers. Production costs can be higher than in many inland areas.
Multi-Category Sourcing in One Supply Chain
Where: Jiangxi — Nankang, Ganzhou.
A broad, concentrated furniture supply chain. Nankang can be useful when buyers need to source several furniture categories in one area.
Steel-Wood, Office & Project Furniture
Where: Hebei Province — province-level reference. Henan — Luoyang and Qingfeng.
Hebei produces steel-and-wood furniture, office and project furniture, and larger standard orders. The source information identifies the province but does not specify a particular city.
Luoyang and Qingfeng, Henan: steel furniture, storage, and value-focused furniture.
Project, Bamboo & Emerging Areas
Where: Hubei · Hunan · Anhui · Sichuan.
- Qianjiang and Jianli, Hubei: hotel, apartment, and commercial project furniture.
- Hengyang and Liuyang, Hunan: bamboo furniture and small household furniture.
- Anhui Province: an emerging wood-processing and furniture area; keep this at province level until a specific location is confirmed.
- Chengdu, Sichuan: branded furniture and export activity.
How to Use This Guide
- Search for the product type you plan to source.

The map is a starting point for planning visits. A manufacturing-area marker represents a sourcing area, not an individual factory address.
Planning Your Visit to China
Many overseas buyers begin in Hong Kong or Guangzhou, depending on their international flight.
From Hong Kong, continue by high-speed rail or transfer through Shenzhen or Guangzhou, depending on the region you plan to visit. From Guangzhou, travel to the regional gateway by high-speed rail or domestic flight.
Factories are often some distance from airports and railway stations. Arrange a pickup with the factory before travelling, and confirm current schedules for your travel dates.
