Furniture inspection should verify whether the product can be assembled correctly, used safely, packed properly, and reviewed for shipment release with clear evidence. For indoor furniture such as tables, swing seats, sofas, chairs, and benches, we check structural stability, assembly condition, sharp edge risk, hardware safety, surface workmanship, labels, carton marks, barcode readability, and packaging protection. The inspection should not only confirm appearance. It should also review measurable points such as wobbling not over 5 mm, 10° tilt stability, wooden part moisture content of 8%–12%, static load requirements, carton measurements on 3 cartons, and drop test conditions where applicable.

Stability Test

Furniture stability inspection focuses on whether the item can be assembled correctly, remain level on a flat surface, resist wobbling, and hold the required load without unsafe movement, deformation, or component failure. The furniture checklist includes assembly check, function check, product weight and size measurement, locking mechanism check, folding operation, moisture content check, stability test, wobbling test, static load test, and level check as relevant on-site test items. These checks help buyers identify missing parts, weak joints, uneven legs, poor load-bearing performance, and possible tipping risk before shipment.

Assembly Check and Missing Parts Review

Furniture assembly inspection starts by confirming that the product can be assembled according to the manual. We check whether assembly can be completed with ordinary tools or tools supplied in the package. This matters because furniture may look acceptable as separate parts but fail when the buyer or end user tries to assemble it.

We also check whether all required screws, bolts, washers, brackets, fittings, hardware, and similar parts are provided. Missing hardware is a serious usability issue because the furniture cannot be completed safely as intended. If the item includes drawers, hinges, locking parts, foldable frames, swing components, or adjustable parts, these components should be checked against the manual and packing list.

The furniture checklist also requires assembly instructions to be provided. The instructions should not guide the user into an action that may create a risk of injury. For inspection reporting, assembly findings should be recorded with photo evidence, especially when parts are missing, holes do not align, screws cannot be tightened, or the assembled product does not match the approved sample.

Assembly Check Item	Inspection Requirement	Risk if Failed
Assembly method	Product should be assembled according to the manual	Product may not be usable after delivery
Tools	Assembly should be possible with ordinary tools or supplied tools	Buyer may receive a product that cannot be assembled normally
Hardware completeness	Screws, bolts, and similar required parts should be provided	Unsafe or incomplete assembly
Instruction manual	Assembly instructions should be available	End user may assemble the product incorrectly
Instruction safety	Instructions should not create user action that may result in injury risk	Potential use-safety issue

For furniture with functional parts, we also check whether the assembled product operates as required. Drawer slides, for example, should work properly after assembly and may be tested multiple times according to the manual or inspection scope. If the design requires soft-close or side-mounted drawer slides, the actual function should match the approved requirement.

For foldable furniture, the operation should be smooth and parts should stay in the intended position after operation. If the product includes a locking mechanism, the furniture checklist requires opening and closing 10 times where applicable. The lock should be easy to use, stay locked under pressure, and not release unexpectedly during normal handling or use.

• Check all packed parts against the manual and accessory list.
• Confirm that screw holes, brackets, connectors, and panels align correctly.
• Assemble the furniture according to the provided instruction.
• Check whether the assembled item is structurally complete and safe to handle.
• Operate drawers, hinges, foldable parts, or locking parts according to the product design.
• Record missing parts, wrong parts, loose parts, blocked assembly, or unsafe instruction issues as report findings.

Wobble Test and Level Measurement

Wobble testing checks whether the assembled furniture stands steadily on a flat surface. According to the furniture checklist, the product should be placed on a flat, rigid, and smooth surface, and wobbling should not exceed 5 mm. This gives the buyer a measurable result instead of a vague comment such as unstable or not stable.

We check wobbling after the product is assembled because loose hardware, uneven legs, frame distortion, poor welding, inaccurate drilling, or weak fastening can appear only after full assembly. Chairs, benches, tables, sofas, and swing seats may show different instability patterns, but the inspection purpose is the same: the product should not rock excessively during normal use.

Level measurement is also included in the furniture checklist. The level check should be performed with level measurement equipment. This helps identify uneven tabletops, slanted frames, unbalanced seating surfaces, or assembly distortion. If the item is adjustable, the result should be checked after the product is adjusted to the required position.

Test Item	Test Method	Requirement
Wobble test	Place the product on a flat, rigid, and smooth surface	Wobbling should not be over 5 mm
Level check	Check with level measurement equipment	Product should meet the expected level condition
Product weight and size measurement	Measure unit weight and overall size, then compare with specification	Measurement should be within the agreed tolerance
Wooden part moisture content	Measure 3 different points of every wooden part of the sample	Humidity should be 8%–12%

Wobble and level findings should not be merged with ordinary appearance defects. Excessive wobbling may indicate leg length inconsistency, poor joint alignment, weak fastening, warped material, uneven frame welding, or incorrect assembly. These issues can affect user confidence and may become a safety concern for seating products.

When wooden components are included, moisture content can affect stability over time. The furniture checklist states that wooden parts should be measured at 3 different points of every wooden part of the sample, with humidity expected at 8%–12%. High or uneven moisture content may increase the risk of warping, cracking, deformation, or loose joints after shipment.

• Record the surface condition used for the wobble test.
• Report the measured wobble result and whether it exceeds 5 mm.
• Use level measurement equipment where level check is required.
• Compare product size and unit weight against the specification.
• Measure wooden part moisture content at 3 different points where applicable.
• Provide photos showing unstable legs, uneven frames, deformation, or poor assembly fit.

Tilt Stability and Static Load Test

Tilt stability testing checks whether the furniture overturns under an unfavorable condition. The furniture checklist states that the product should be placed on a 10° tilt plate at the most unfavorable condition, and the product should not overturn. This test is especially relevant for seating furniture, tables, swing seats, and items with a high center of gravity.

The most unfavorable condition should be selected according to the product structure and approved inspection scope. A chair may be positioned in the direction where tipping risk is highest, while a table may need to be reviewed based on its leg structure and tabletop proportion. We record the test condition clearly so the buyer can understand how the result was obtained.

Static load testing checks whether the product can withstand the specified load without failure. The primary basis should be the client’s product specification or claimed maximum loading weight. If the claimed maximum loading weight is used, the furniture checklist states that the applied load may be the claimed maximum loading weight multiplied by 1.5 times. If no requirement is provided, the listed default test parameters may be used according to product type.

Product Type	Static Load Requirement
Chair or swing seat	If no requirement is provided, apply 160 kg for 1 hour
Bench or sofa	If no requirement is provided, apply 160 kg at each required seating position for 1 hour
Hammock	If no requirement is provided, load 300 lb for 1 hour
Table with tabletop length L ≤ 1600 mm	Apply 75 kg at the center of the table
Table with tabletop length L ≥ 1600 mm	Apply two 75 kg weights on the longitudinal axis, 400 mm on either side of the transversal axis
General static load based on claimed load	Apply claimed maximum loading weight × 1.5 times, according to the checklist condition
Client-specific requirement	Follow the product specification or client requirement when provided

For benches and sofas, the checklist further separates seating positions. For one-seat or two-seat articles, the load should be applied on each position. For three-seat articles, the load should be applied on one end position and the center position. For four-seat or larger articles, the load should be applied on two adjacent end positions followed by two adjacent center positions.

Use Type	Table Test Parameter	Seating Test Parameter
Camping	50 kg	110 kg
Domestic	75 kg	160 kg
Contract	100 kg	200 kg

During static load review, we check not only whether the product collapses. We also observe deformation, cracks, loose joints, failed welds, damaged hardware, unstable legs, abnormal sound, and functional failure after load removal. A product may survive the load but still show structural damage that affects safety or saleability.

Static load and tilt stability findings should be documented with clear test conditions. The report should state the product type, sample quantity, load value, load duration, load position, tilt condition, and visible result. If the test follows a client specification instead of a default checklist value, that basis should be stated in the inspection requirement so the buyer can review the result accurately.

Sharp Edge Check

Sharp edge inspection for furniture focuses on contact safety, hardware exposure, surface finish, and breakage risk. The furniture checklist includes no sharp edges, no sharp points, no burrs, rounded or chamfered edges and corners, no exposed nail ends, no protruded screw ends or heads, no loose or incomplete rivets, no rust on metal parts, and no unsafe welding defects. For movable components, the checklist also notes an entrapment control point: adjacent movable components should maintain gaps less than 7 mm or greater than 18 mm where applicable. For tempered glass, one listed test requires at least 40 chips in any 50 × 50 mm area after fragmentation.

Sharp Edges, Burrs, and Rounded Corner Review

Furniture has many user-contact areas, including tabletop edges, chair backs, seat frames, armrests, bench corners, metal tubes, folded frames, drawer fronts, and exposed underside areas. We check whether these areas are free from sharp edges, sharp points, and burrs because these conditions may create injury risk during normal handling, assembly, sitting, moving, or cleaning.

The furniture checklist specifically requires construction and workmanship to have no sharp edge and no sharp point, and to be free from burrs. It also states that edges and corners should be rounded or chamfered. This is important for tables, chairs, benches, sofas, swing seats, and mixed-material furniture where wood, metal, plastic, or glass parts may be touched directly by the user.

Rounded or chamfered corners should be checked against the product design and approved sample. A corner can look finished from a distance but still feel rough, pointed, chipped, cracked, or poorly polished when reviewed closely. For painted or coated furniture, coating buildup or poor trimming can also leave hard edges that affect user safety and product presentation.

Check Area	Inspection Requirement	Typical Finding
Edge and point safety	No sharp edge and no sharp point	Sharp tabletop edge, pointed metal corner, sharp plastic edge
Burr control	Free from burrs	Metal burr, rough drilled hole, unfinished cut edge
Corner finish	Edges and corners should be rounded or chamfered	Square sharp corner, chipped corner, poorly finished edge
Surface contact area	User-touch areas should not create handling risk	Rough armrest, sharp seat frame, unsafe underside edge
Movable component gap	Adjacent movable components should maintain less than 7 mm or greater than 18 mm where applicable	Entrapment risk around folding or moving parts

For foldable chairs, swing seats, adjustable furniture, or products with moving frames, we also check potential entrapment areas. The furniture checklist gives a clear reference for adjacent movable components: gaps should be maintained at less than 7 mm or greater than 18 mm where applicable. If a gap falls into a risky range, the finding should be recorded because it may affect user safety during opening, folding, or adjustment.

• Check user-contact edges, corners, handles, arms, legs, and frames.
• Review underside areas that may be touched during assembly or moving.
• Check metal tubes, cut ends, drilled holes, welded areas, and folded structures.
• Confirm whether edges are rounded, chamfered, capped, polished, or otherwise finished.
• Review movable parts for possible finger entrapment risk where applicable.
• Record sharp edge, sharp point, burr, chipped corner, or rough finish findings with close-up photos.

Exposed Nails, Screws, Rivets, and Metal Hardware

Furniture hardware should hold the product together without creating contact hazards. We check screws, bolts, nails, rivets, washers, brackets, hinges, drawer slides, metal caps, locking parts, and frame connectors. Hardware problems can affect both safety and structural performance, especially after assembly or after the product is loaded.

The furniture checklist lists exposed nail ends, protruded screw ends or heads, incomplete rivets, loose rivets, slant rivets, slipped screws, and rust on metal parts as construction and workmanship issues. These findings should not be treated as appearance problems only when the hardware can scratch users, damage surrounding parts, weaken assembly, or affect product stability.

Exposed nail ends and protruded screw ends are higher-risk findings because the user may touch them during assembly, movement, or normal use. A screw head that sits above the surface can also catch fabric, scratch flooring, damage packaging, or prevent parts from fitting correctly. For seating furniture, loose or incomplete hardware may also reduce load-bearing performance.

Hardware Finding	Inspection Focus	Possible Risk
Exposed nail end	Nail tip or nail end visible or touchable	Scratch, puncture, unsafe contact
Protruded screw end or head	Screw not flush or exposed beyond intended position	Injury risk, assembly interference, fabric damage
Incomplete rivet	Rivet not fully formed or not properly fixed	Weak joint or loose component
Loose rivet	Rivet movement after assembly or handling	Structural weakness, noise, part separation
Slant rivet	Rivet installed at an incorrect angle	Poor joint strength or visual defect
Slipped screw	Screw does not hold correctly or has stripped position	Loose connection, unstable assembly
Rust on metal part	Corrosion on hardware or metal frame	Appearance issue, durability risk, potential staining

Metal hardware should also be checked after product function testing where applicable. Drawer slides, folding frames, locking mechanisms, hinges, and swing-seat supports may appear acceptable before use but become loose, misaligned, or exposed after repeated opening, closing, folding, or pressure. The report should separate a cosmetic mark on hardware from a hardware defect that affects safety or function.

For defect classification, exposed sharp hardware, protruded screw ends, and unsafe metal contact areas may require stricter attention than ordinary surface marks. Loose or incomplete hardware should be reviewed together with assembly condition, wobble results, static load results, and product function. A small hardware defect can become a larger shipment risk when the same issue appears across many sampled units.

• Check all visible nails, screws, bolts, rivets, hinges, brackets, and connectors.
• Confirm hardware is fixed, aligned, complete, and not loose.
• Check whether screw heads and screw ends are flush or safely covered.
• Review whether any metal part has rust, sharp burrs, deformation, or poor coating.
• Operate drawers, foldable parts, locking parts, or hinges where applicable.
• Record affected part name, defect location, defect class, quantity, and photo evidence.

Welded Parts, Glass Components, and Surface Damage Check

Welded furniture parts should be checked for visible cracks, loose welding, false welding, pits, splitters, deformation, and poor finish. The furniture checklist lists crack on welding solder, false welding or loose welding, and welding with pits or splitter as construction and workmanship defects. These findings matter because welded joints often support the main structure of chairs, benches, tables, swing seats, and metal frames.

A welding defect should be reviewed for both appearance and structural risk. A small visual pit may be a finish defect, but loose welding or cracked solder may affect strength. If a welded joint is located at a load-bearing frame, seating support, leg connection, or swing-seat support, the risk is higher than a small surface mark on a non-structural decorative part.

Glass components require a separate safety review. Where tempered glass is included and the fragmentation test is applicable, the furniture checklist states that the glass should be broken to check whether it is tempered glass and free from sharp point, and that any 50 × 50 mm area should contain at least 40 chips. This test is listed for 1 piece where applicable.

Glass or Welding Check	Requirement or Review Point	Report Focus
Crack on welding solder	No visible welding crack affecting joint condition	Defect location and structural relevance
False welding or loose welding	Welding should not be false, loose, or insecure	Load-bearing and safety impact
Welding pits or splitter	Welding should not show serious pits or splitters	Appearance and joint quality
Tempered glass fragmentation	Any 50 × 50 mm area should have at least 40 chips where applicable	Whether fragmentation result supports tempered glass condition
Sharp point after glass breakage	Broken glass should be free from sharp point where applicable	Safety-related finding
Surface damage near glass or metal	No serious scratches, cracks, chips, deformation, or poor finish	Appearance, handling, and shipment risk

Surface damage also needs clear classification. The furniture checklist lists deformation, handle crack or loose condition, color deviation, painting fade out, pitted surface, scratches, poor coating, poor painting, poor spraying, poor printing, powder coating issues, broken or damaged rib, pole, or fabric. These findings may affect appearance, usability, durability, or buyer acceptance depending on severity and position.

For coated or painted furniture, surface review should include color consistency, coating coverage, peeling, fade, scratches, pitting, rough finish, and exposed base material. For fabric or mixed-material furniture, we check sewing quality, open seams, broken fabric, damaged ribs or poles, and attachment condition where applicable. The purpose is to identify whether the defect is isolated or part of a repeated workmanship pattern.

• Record defect location, such as leg frame, seat support, tabletop, hinge area, glass edge, or handle.
• Separate defect types such as crack, loose welding, pit, scratch, deformation, chip, rust, or coating failure.
• Confirm whether the affected area is user-contact, load-bearing, decorative, or hidden after assembly.
• Check whether the issue appears on one sample or repeats across sampled units.
• Review whether the issue may affect safety, function, appearance, or shipment acceptance.
• Provide close-up photos and overall photos showing the affected furniture part.

For buyer review, these findings should not be merged into a vague surface defect description. A scratch on the underside of a table, a cracked welded joint, and a sharp broken glass point are different risk levels. We document the finding type and affected part clearly so the buyer can decide whether correction, sorting, replacement, or recheck is needed before shipment.

Packaging Review

Furniture packaging review checks whether the product can survive handling, storage, and transport without missing parts, surface damage, wrong carton information, or receiving problems. In the furniture checklist, package condition is checked on all samples for completeness, cleanliness, and correctness. Packing materials should provide protection against transport damage, and accessories such as tools and manuals should be complete. Carton surface printing should follow the specification, including barcode information, and shipping marks such as order number and item number should be checked. Carton weight and size measurement is performed on 3 cartons. The carton drop test is performed on 1 carton using 1C/3E/6F at the designated height.

Protective Packing and Accessory Completeness

Furniture usually has a higher transport damage risk than small consumer goods because it may include long panels, glass parts, metal frames, wooden components, painted surfaces, legs, corners, hinges, drawer slides, screws, and assembly hardware. We check whether the packing method provides reasonable protection against transport damage, especially at edges, corners, load-bearing parts, and visible finished surfaces.

The furniture checklist requires the package to be complete, clean, and correct for all samples. This means packaging review is not limited to checking whether a carton exists. It should confirm whether the packed product matches the approved packing method, whether inner protection is properly positioned, and whether the package condition is suitable for handling before shipment.

Protective materials may include foam, corner protectors, cardboard dividers, polybags, molded inserts, protective film, edge guards, hardware bags, and cushioning around glass or finished panels. If the product includes fragile parts or painted surfaces, we check whether the protection prevents direct contact, abrasion, pressure marks, scratches, dents, and corner impact.

Packaging Check Item	Checklist Focus	Buyer Risk if Failed
Package condition	Complete, clean, and correct	Damaged presentation or wrong packed goods
Transport protection	Packing materials provide protection against transport damage	Scratches, dents, broken parts, or surface damage
Corner and edge protection	Foam, corner guard, or similar protection where required	Corner impact, chipped edges, broken panels
Surface protection	Protective film, separator, polybag, or padding where required	Rubbing marks, scratches, coating damage
Glass or fragile part protection	Separated and cushioned fragile parts	Breakage during handling or transport
Hardware protection	Hardware packed separately and secured	Lost screws, loose parts, surface scratching

Accessory completeness is also part of packaging review. The checklist specifically mentions that accessories, such as tools and manual, should be complete. For furniture, this is important because a product can pass appearance review but still become unusable if screws, bolts, washers, brackets, Allen keys, spare parts, or assembly instructions are missing.

We check the accessory pack against the manual, packing list, or client requirement. For assembled or semi-assembled furniture, we also check whether accessories are safely packed and not loose inside the carton. Loose metal parts can scratch painted surfaces, damage glass, or create noise and movement inside the package.

• Check whether the product, parts, and accessories match the packing list.
• Confirm that tools, manuals, hardware packs, and loose fittings are complete.
• Review whether foam, corner guards, dividers, and protective film are properly positioned.
• Check whether glass parts, painted panels, legs, and hardware are separated from each other.
• Record missing accessories, damaged packaging, loose hardware, poor protection, or mixed parts with photo evidence.
• Confirm whether the package can be closed, sealed, and handled without obvious product movement inside.

Carton Marking, Labels, and Barcode 100% Readability

Carton marking review checks whether the outer carton information follows the buyer’s specification. The furniture checklist requires carton surface printing to be in accordance with the specification, including barcode, and requires the shipping mark to be checked, such as order number and item number. This helps reduce receiving problems after shipment.

For furniture orders, carton marks may include item number, model number, PO number, carton number, destination, product description, color, size, quantity per carton, gross weight, net weight, carton dimension, handling mark, and warning mark where required. If the carton mark does not match the packing list or order file, the buyer may face sorting, receiving, warehouse, or retail distribution problems.

Selling packaging and labels should also be checked where applicable. The checklist may include missing CE mark for Europe shipment where required by the product category or buyer file, missing required warning or marking, missing manufacturer, packer, or distributor name and address, missing product identification such as SKU number or model number, missing net quantity information, bilingual information where required, and warning language requirements for the market where the product is sold.

Marking or Label Item	What We Check	Possible Finding
Carton printing	Printed information follows the approved specification	Wrong item number, unclear printing, missing information
Shipping mark	Order number, item number, and other required shipment marks	Wrong shipping mark or missing carton identification
Product identification	SKU number, model number, or product code where required	Product cannot be matched to order file
Required warning or marking	Warning label, handling mark, or market-required mark where applicable	Missing warning or incorrect warning language
Manufacturer or distributor details	Name and address where required by the buyer or market file	Missing required selling-packaging information
Quantity information	Net quantity or product quantity where required	Receiving or consumer-information issue

Barcode verification must follow a 100% readability requirement when included in the inspection scope. A barcode should not only scan successfully; it should also match the correct SKU, model, color, size, carton level, or product file where applicable. Any unreadable barcode should be recorded as a finding, corrected by the supplier, and rechecked before shipment release review.

For furniture packaging, barcode problems may appear on product labels, retail labels, accessory packs, inner cartons, or master cartons. We check whether the barcode is printed clearly, placed in the required position, not damaged by carton sealing, and not confused with another SKU. If one barcode is unreadable or linked to the wrong item, it should not be treated as acceptable.

Barcode Review Point	Requirement	Report Focus
Readability	100% readability for checked samples when barcode verification is included	Passed, failed, corrected, and rechecked result
Encoded data	Barcode data matches the approved file or SKU list	Wrong item code or wrong carton code
Label position	Barcode is placed according to artwork or client requirement	Scanning difficulty or wrong packaging level
Print quality	Clear contrast, no broken lines, no blur, no damaged label	Unstable or failed scanning
SKU consistency	Barcode matches item, model, color, size, and packing level where applicable	Mixed SKU or receiving error

Carton marks, labels, and barcodes should be reviewed together, not separately. A carton may have a readable barcode but still show the wrong item number on the shipping mark. A product label may show the correct model number while the master carton label is wrong. These conflicts should be documented because they affect shipment release and warehouse receiving.

Carton Size, Carton Weight, and Drop Test Review

Carton size and carton weight measurement help confirm whether the packed goods match the specification and shipping information. The furniture checklist requires carton weight and size measurement on 3 cartons. The measured data should be reported and compared with the specification, and the result should be within the agreed tolerance.

For furniture, carton size and weight are not only shipping details. They also affect transport cost, loading plan, warehouse storage, palletization, carton strength, and handling safety. If the actual carton size or weight differs from the specification, buyers may face container loading issues, warehouse receiving disputes, or unexpected freight changes.

We check gross weight, net weight where required, carton length, width, height, and visible carton condition. If the carton is deformed, poorly sealed, wet, contaminated, or too weak for the product weight, the finding should be recorded separately from measurement data. A carton can meet the declared size but still be unsuitable for shipment if the structure or sealing is poor.

Carton Measurement Item	Checklist Requirement	Review Point
Carton weight	Measure and report data for 3 cartons	Compare with specification and tolerance
Carton size	Measure and report data for 3 cartons	Check length, width, and height against specification
Gross weight and net weight	Check when required by order file or carton mark	Confirm consistency with label and packing list
Carton condition	Review visible carton damage or weak sealing	Identify transport and handling risk
Carton consistency	Compare measured cartons with the same packing type	Detect mixed carton types or abnormal packing

The furniture checklist also includes a carton drop test. The test is performed on 1 carton, with 1C/3E/6F at the designated height, and photos should be taken. The listed drop height depends on the packaged weight. For packaged weight below 9.5 kg, the drop height is 76 cm. For packaged weight from 9.5 kg to less than 18.6 kg, the drop height is 61 cm. For packaged weight from 18.6 kg to less than 27.7 kg, the drop height is 46 cm.

Packaged Weight	Drop Height
Less than 9.5 kg	76 cm
At least 9.5 kg and less than 18.6 kg	61 cm
At least 18.6 kg and less than 27.7 kg	46 cm

The drop test should be reviewed according to the agreed inspection scope and carton condition after testing. We check whether the outer carton, inner protection, product surface, glass parts, hardware, panels, legs, corners, and accessories remain acceptable after the test. If the carton opens, protection shifts, hardware becomes loose, or the product shows damage, the finding should be documented.

• Record packaged carton weight and corresponding drop height.
• Apply the test method reference: 1C/3E/6F at the designated height.
• Use 1 carton for the drop test where applicable.
• Check outer carton condition after drop.
• Check inner packing condition after drop.
• Review product condition, including surface, structure, glass, hardware, and accessories.
• Take photo evidence before and after the test.

For shipment decision review, carton measurement and drop test findings should be connected to product risk. A minor carton mark issue, a wrong gross weight, weak sealing, and product damage after drop test are different levels of risk. We record these findings clearly so the buyer can decide whether the supplier should improve packing, correct carton marks, replace damaged goods, or arrange a recheck before shipment.

What Buyers Should Prepare Before Furniture Inspection

Before arranging furniture inspection, buyers should prepare a complete inspection file so that our office team can review the inspection scope and arrange the inspection based on clear requirements. The file should define the product model, approved sample, assembly method, load requirement, surface standard, accessory list, packing method, carton mark file, label file, barcode file, and shipment lot.

• Purchase order with item number, model, quantity, color, and shipment lot.
• Approved sample photos, product drawings, or technical specification where available.
• Assembly manual, accessory list, and hardware pack details.
• Static load requirement or claimed maximum loading weight if different from default checklist values.
• Product size, unit weight, carton size, gross weight, and net weight requirements.
• Surface finish standard, color reference, coating requirement, and defect classification.
• Carton mark file, retail label file, warning label file, and barcode list.
• Packing method, inner protection requirements, and drop test requirement where applicable.

After the inspection, our project service team provides the report for client review. The report should help the buyer evaluate assembly condition, stability test findings, sharp edge risk, hardware condition, surface workmanship, packaging protection, label accuracy, barcode 100% readability, carton measurements, drop test results, and whether corrective action or recheck is needed before shipment release.
