A house in Almaty: furniture from China after the offline tour for five days

Elena’s video testimonial. The family, three of them, came to the factories in China, chose furniture for the main areas of the house in five days and completed the furnishing package online — the kitchen was chosen remotely, from the manager’s photographs taken under different lighting.

A house in Almaty: furniture from China after мебельного тура

‘What the Almaty market offered did not satisfy us on quality. We wanted to feel the quality ourselves, to touch it, to sit on it and only then choose. So we went to China.’

‘The furniture arrived in very good condition, every item fitted perfectly. A special mention for the packaging: everything in wooden crating, each part of the sofa wrapped in several layers.’

What was ordered and at what price

Prices are shown in the video itself — that is the cost of an item at the factory, without logistics

Living room
$6 166

Sofa

A large, soft, light-coloured sofa in cotton-blend fabric. The main emphasis is on comfort: ‘the whole family can relax on it’.

Dining room
$4 210

Dining table

Natural marble, black with white veining. The most delicate item in the order to transport.

Dining room
$388

Chair, per item

Textile and solid wood, eight of them to go with the table. Chosen to match the sofa and the overall concept.

Kitchen
$24 005

Kitchen units

Chipboard. The only item chosen entirely online — the colour was approved from photographs under different lighting.

Bar
$388

Bar stool, per unit

Three of them, made to order to the clients’ drawings — the height and comfortable seating were important.

How the work progressed

Offline tour

Five days round the factories with Ksenia, the manager. They compared colours, discussed dimensions and looked at what suited the house.

Choosing on the factory floor

The sofa was chosen by its softness, the table by the pattern of the marble. The decision was taken on the spot, after touching the material.

Kitchen online

After the tour. The manager filmed the samples under different lighting and sent them over until the shade matched.

Logistics and assembly

The client handled delivery with their own logistics team. A wooden crate on the outside, multi-layer packing of every part inside.

What turned out to be the hardest part

A marble table. Natural stone is heavy and fragile, and the main fear was not the choice but the transport: would it arrive, would there be chips, would the shades match what we had seen in the workshop. There was no damage to a single item.

From the video testimonial

If anyone is considering buying furniture from China — do not hesitate. It takes effort and time, but the quality matches 100% what we wanted.
