Industry overview

Product selection

Wooden furniture manufacturers tend to be specialised in a certain product range. Some manufacturers exclusively produce kitchen cabinets, while others produce a broader range of wooden furniture. As such, limit your supplier selection to those that are not only making wooden furniture, but also the specific type of wooden furniture you have in mind.

Examples

• Chairs
• Desks
• Dining tables
• Coffee tables
• TV stands
• Drawers
• Cabinets

Material options

Material options in this context refers to the wood species available, and the different surface treatments. While furniture manufacturers in Europe can in practice procure any wood specie that is legally available on the market, they still tend to be specialised to certain extent. The wood species also impacts the unit cost.

Paints, coatings, and surface treatments must also be clearly specified. It is therefore essential that this is determined before you contact suppliers.

Examples

• Pinewood
• Birch
• European ash
• European beech
• Cherry
• Oak
• Walnut

Custom products

Many European wooden furniture manufacturers, such as Woodnokk OÜ, offer custom products. This means that they can produce chairs, tables, drawers, and desks entirely based on your design. However, this requires that you can provide technical drawings that detail the design and measurements.

Product compliance

Safety standards apply to drawers and other furniture sold in the EU, UK, and US. For example, furniture can be deemed unsafe if the unit can tip over. Furniture, including paints and coatings, are also subject to substance restrictions.

MOQ requirements

Some wooden furniture manufacturers are focused on mass production, while others operate more like craftsmen or carpenters. The latter can often offer a lower MOQ, sometimes starting from a single unit per design.
