Customer Visits to Vietnam
Many of our clients choose to visit Vietnam at the commencement of our collaboration and subsequently on an annual or bi-annual basis, typically coinciding with the readiness of samples for the upcoming furniture market. These visits provide an invaluable opportunity to review product development and implement any necessary adjustments prior to shipment.
To ensure a seamless experience, we offer comprehensive support in preparation for and during the visit, including:
- Assistance with visa applications
- Airport transfers
- Hotel reservations
Throughout the stay, we arrange and accompany clients to factory appointments, providing on-site transportation, coordination of schedules, and refreshments during the day. In the evenings, we are pleased to host our clients at select dining venues in Ho Chi Minh City, offering a welcoming introduction to the city’s rich culinary culture.
RAW MATERIALS INSPECTION
- Verify wood, metal, upholstery, and other materials for quality, defects, and compliance with specifications
- Ensure moisture content in wood is within the acceptable range (typically 8 to 10%) to prevent warping or cracking
- Check for uniformity in veneers, fabrics, and finishes.Inspect for knots, cracks, or inconsistencies in natural wood grain
Carcass (Frame) Construction Inspection
- Assess cutting, shaping, and assembly accuracy to avoid misalignment
- Verify CNC or manual craftsmanship for precision and consistency
- Ensure adherence to design blueprints and tolerances
- Inspect joints, mortise & tenon connections, dowels, and screws for structural integrity
- Check for proper adhesive application and curing to prevent future loosening
PRODUCTION INSPECTION
ASSEMBLY & JOINERY INSPECTION
ASSEMBLY & JOINERY INSPECTION
- Inspect joints, dowels, dovetails, and fasteners for strength and alignment
- Check for stability and uniformity in frame construction
- Ensure adhesives are evenly applied and fully dried for a secure bond
- Verify that screws, bolts, and nails are flush and not protruding
SURFACE FINISHING INSPECTION
ASSEMBLY & JOINERY INSPECTION
- Examine sanding, priming, and staining for even application
- Identify defects such as scratches, blemishes, uneven staining, or inconsistent wood grain pattern
UPHOLSTERY and CUSHIONING INSPECTION
- Assess fabric or leather quality, stitching precision, and foam density consistency
- Ensure no wrinkles, bubbles, loose threads, or weak seams
- Verify padding is evenly distributed and meets comfort standards
- Test for pilling, abrasion resistance, and color fastness.
SHEEN and ADHESION
- Ensure finishing coats (varnish, lacquer, oil-based) meet required gloss and sheen levels
- Conduct adhesion testing to check the durability of the finish
FINAL PERFECTION CHECKING
- Visual Aesthetic Inspection
- Dimensional & Structural Accuracy
- Functionality Testing
PACKING and LABELS
- Packaging & Labeling Inspection
- Final Approval & Reporting
Functionality CHECKS & TESTING COMPLIANCE
- Test moving parts such as drawers, hinges, glides, and reclining mechanisms for smooth operation
- Check for stability, balance, and tip-over risk according to industry safety standards (e.g., ANSI/BIFMA, EN 1335)
- Conduct drop and impact tests to assess structural resilience
- Execute testing procedures in full compliance with the "Sturdy Act," as mandated by federal law under ASTM F2057-23 (American Society for Testing and Materials)
- Ensure weight-bearing components meet load capacity requirements
