Knows design better than any sourcing agent.
Knows the supply chain better than any designer.

China is Saudi Arabia's largest furniture supplier (39% of imports). Chen Yi (陈易) adds what a factory list cannot: a single design for your majlis, kitchens and family rooms, checked in Foshan before anything ships.

What Saudi clients care about most

A Saudi buyer at a 2025 Lecong trade event put it simply: what matters most is integrity and efficiency. Price comes after trust.

  1. Integrity and efficiencyWritten schedules, deposits paid to the factory's company account, and photo and video QC at each stage.
  2. Majlis and family layoutsSeating, joinery and lighting planned around how the majlis, dining and family areas are actually used.
  3. Compliance that clears customsSABER requirements listed per product before production, so documents are ready when goods reach port.
  4. A clear budget rangeEconomy, mid and luxury tiers explained up front, with the landed-cost formula below.

SABER is Saudi Arabia's product conformity platform. We list the requirements per product before production and work with the factories and your importer to prepare certificates.

Yes. Kitchens are designed to your plan, sampled in Foshan and checked against your site dimensions before production.
