Choose a plastic wood outdoor furniture manufacturer in China by confirming what the wood-look profile actually contains, approving a representative table or chair sample, and specifying dimensions, fasteners and inspection criteria in writing. Do not compare quotes on appearance alone.
SOLAIREVA is a commercial outdoor furniture manufacturer based in Foshan, Guangdong, China. It serves global B2B hotel, resort, restaurant and project buyers with OEM/ODM options and a factory-direct export workflow. Ask the factory about availability and specifications for the material and model required by your project.
Choose a plastic wood outdoor furniture manufacturer in China
Start with a furniture schedule for the restaurant terrace, café, hotel or resort: model, quantity, overall dimensions, location, intended exposure and required date. Record whether the wood-look material is used for a tabletop, armrest or seat, as support and maintenance needs differ. Ask suppliers to show a complete model with the proposed frame and slat construction.
Identify the material before comparing offers
Plastic wood is a broad trade description, not a single composition. Request the polymer type, any wood fiber or other filler, solid or hollow profile, dimensions, surface finish and color reference. Ask for the applicable material data sheet and evidence relevant to the exact profile and color. Do not assume recycled content, wood content or weathering performance without supplier documentation.
Review the profile and complete assembly
Request an offcut showing the cross section and a finished representative item. Check slat alignment, edge finish, gaps, support underneath, connection points and fastener access against agreed drawings. Discuss thermal movement and drainage with the supplier for the actual design and intended climate; a single offcut cannot demonstrate how the assembled table performs. Agree comfort, dimensions and visual tolerances using the approved sample.
How to evaluate a China outdoor furniture manufacturer
Identify who makes the slats and who fabricates and assembles the frame. Ask for material traceability, the inspection plan and responsibility for outsourced stages. Compare the offered profile with the technical and test documentation: check the specimen, material, method, conditions and report date. Ask how nonconforming parts are segregated and corrected; a supplier brochure alone is not evidence for the offered configuration.
Set an inspection and packaging plan
Agree sampling quantities and acceptance criteria before production. Inspect dimensions, slat appearance, joints, hardware, alignment and the assembly against the retained approval sample. Clarify any load or exposure tests required by the contract, who performs them, and how results are accepted. Agree protective separators and corner guards, carton markings and the packing of hardware, then inspect a packed example.
Compare quotations on the same scope
Send each China supplier the same drawings, quantities, material definition, frame finish, color, approved sample requirements and destination. Ask for separate sample or tooling charges, MOQ per profile and color, production lead time, inspection costs and delivery term. Confirm how replacement slats or hardware are supplied and what is included in the written warranty.

Buyer questions
What is plastic wood outdoor furniture?
It is furniture using wood-look synthetic or composite profiles. Names vary, so request the exact polymer, any wood filler, profile construction and intended outdoor use for the quoted model.
How do I compare China plastic wood furniture suppliers?
Compare the same design, profile composition, color, dimensions, frame, fasteners, samples, inspection plan, packing and delivery terms. Ask each supplier to identify which production stages it performs.
Can I request a sample before a bulk order?
Request a material offcut and a representative finished item or assembly, with the actual slat profile, frame and fixings. Agree the reference and sample charges before approval.
What is the MOQ for a custom tabletop?
Minimum quantities can depend on model, profile, color and production arrangement. Ask for the MOQ per configuration, tooling charges and any minimum order for a custom profile.
How should slatted furniture be packed for shipping?
Ask for protection at corners and between facing surfaces, and agree how hardware and assembly instructions are packed. Inspect a packed sample and confirm carton marks and handling requirements.
How long does a custom order take?
Request separate dates for profile availability, sample approval, production, inspection and dispatch. Confirm when the quoted lead time starts and how revisions affect it.
