Sofa inspection china
A practical guide to sofa inspection china: what to check on site, what a photograph cannot establish, and what to write in your purchase specification.
Furniture export orders fail in category-specific ways. A generic pre-shipment checklist will miss all of them. This is what the checks actually cover.
What the check covers
- Model and SKU against your PI, on every unit and every carton
- Count and mix — mixed-model orders counted per model, not as a single total
- Carton marks and order numbers, photographed
- Dimensions against your stated figure, including functional dimensions
- Materials against your agreed specification or approved sample
- Physical checks that can be performed on site with portable equipment
- Packing — carton count, protection, hardware pack completeness
Physical checks on site
Wobble and stability; load with calibrated weights; carton drop; drawer and hardware function; assembly by a non-skilled operator; moisture, foam density and odour.
What is not covered
Product testing of any kind. Accredited laboratory reports. Formaldehyde, fire resistance, abrasion, salt spray and UV. Those require laboratories, and sofa order verification explains why pretending otherwise damages trust rather than building it.
How to book it
Send your PI, your agreed specification and your approved sample if you have one. If you only have a product link, send that — the check criteria can be built from it, and the report will record that conformity could not be fully verified.

Common questions
Can I verify goods without sending anyone to the factory?
Partially. A remote photo review can identify gross problems but cannot establish count, dimensions, materials or physical performance. Those require someone on site.
Do laboratory reports replace on-site inspection?
No. They answer different questions. A laboratory report tells you whether a product meets a standard. An inspection tells you whether these goods match what you ordered.
What should my purchase specification contain?
Model and quantity, dimensions with tolerance, materials named rather than described generically, colour standard with a grey scale value, and any standard the goods must meet.
Verifying a furniture order?
