Find the right chair manufacturer — and know what to check before you order
An independent directory and editorial desk for seating buyers: factory profiles built from public records, plain-spoken sourcing guides, and country-level freight and duty notes. No marketplace, no commissions.
Start with the seating you actually buy
Each hub collects the mid-2026 listing data — advertised price bands, real MOQ signals, regional clusters — plus what to check before ordering, and the directory makers that build the category.
Office chairs
Task, swivel and executive seating — the biggest, noisiest category on every sourcing platform.
80 makers in our directory →Ergonomic chairs

Set-priced upholstery: sofas, sectionals, recliners and massage chairs — the heaviest compliance basket.
50 makers in our directory →Cinema & public seating
Fixed auditorium, theatre and waiting-area seating — project quantities, per-seat pricing, installation logistics.

Shortlist factories
Browse the directory and category hubs. Profiles are built from public, checkable sources; fields we cannot verify stay blank rather than guessed.
Check before you commit
The guides cover the mechanics that decide outcomes: factory verification, samples, MOQs, payment terms, certifications and inspections.
Budget the landed cost
Country pages collect ports, transit times and duty notes. Freight figures are estimates by nature, so we label and date every one.
