Furniture Sample Approval Before Bulk Production

A sample is useful when appearance, comfort, dimensions or function cannot be confirmed from a drawing alone. The approved sample and written specification become the production reference.

Buyer questions

Frequently asked questions

Is a full product sample always needed?

No. The need depends on the changes and risk. A swatch or documented detail may be enough for some orders.

Are samples free or refundable?

Sample charges, possible credit, timing and shipping depend on the order and must be confirmed before work begins.

What happens after revision?

The accepted version and written changes should be recorded as the production reference before bulk production.
