What overseas trade buyers should prepare before specifying a room
A buying checklist for dimensions, room photography, finish choices, lead times, packing, and export expectations.
Before asking for a full room specification, prepare accurate room dimensions, doorway and elevator limits, photos from each corner, and the intended use of the space. These details help the brand recommend scale rather than only individual pieces.
Finish decisions should be made together. Wood tone, upholstery, stone, and metal accents affect one another, especially when furniture from multiple categories sits in the same room.
For export planning, confirm lead time, packing method, carton or crate dimensions, replacement-part expectations, and whether the order requires phased delivery. Clear information at the beginning prevents expensive uncertainty later.
