Taisheng furniture is focusing on mostly producing solid wood furniture suites for the USA market.
The investment holding party of Lacquer Craft is Edward Li group-the third largest wood industry group worldwide. In 1999, "Legacy Classic Furniture" was established as the first marketing department to help establish the furniture brand's popularity in the United States. Lacquer Craft Furniture acquired Universal Furniture in 2001 and tried to enter the high-end furniture market, then it built the second furniture factory in Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province of China.
On December 17, 2003, at the request of some furniture manufacturers us, the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) conducted an Anti-dumping investigation on wooden bedroom furniture sets (Wood headboard with bed base, nightstand, dressing table with chair, wardrobe, writing desk, lounge chair, etc) from China, Lacquer Craft Furniture and other 134 China furniture manufacturers were on the list, Mr.Guo led other furniture factories in Dongguan to actively participate in the investigation. On November 17, 2004, DOC made a final Anti-dumping ruling on the case, the dumping margin tax rate of import furniture from China is 0.79%～198.08%, nearly 80 furniture companies including Lacquer Craft furniture in Dongguan had a low rate, but this is not the end of this furniture anti-dumping war, you will find more details in another post.

Lacquer Craft tried to develop the domestic furniture market in China but failed, it was spun off by its parent company Samson Holdings in November 2017.

Yihua Health, which was also founded by Mr. Liu Shaoxi, was also listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2007, then Yihua expanded its business scope to four major industries: home improvement, medical care, real estate & hotel, and capital finance on the base of wooden furniture and wood floor.
From 2008 to 2009, Yihua's main business was to export wood floor to the USA, but the sales revenue started to decline from 2010, so Yihua decided to explore China domestic and other international markets, no longer relying on the American market, and then built showrooms throughout China to attract local distributors. Yihua also started to invest in some famous brands companies in China in 2014, such as JRONE, RRS, Youzhu, Haier Home, etc., and also signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Meilele, a furniture e-commerce company established in 2008, trying to execute the O2O strategy for home furnishing, but Meilele lost the furniture business war against JD and Tmall in China, now its official website can no longer be opened. In 2016, Yihua acquired HTL Furniture, a Singapore listed company with more than 40 years of history in the sofa industry (their brands: Domicil, Corium Italia, FABBRICA, Muse, Relax Studio, and Gallery), but Yihua had to sell HTL in 2020 because of huge loss in Yihua Life, the founder of HTL Furniture – Pan family owned it again in Sep 2020.
From an industrial perspective, Yihua's investment and layout in home ecology, furniture e-commerce, and globalization strategy for both export and China domestic sales have not been realized, the result of the transformation is not satisfactory.

Summary of the furniture manufacturers listing
That's it, hope this Top 20 China furniture manufacturers list would help you, why Top 20? Because Top 10 furniture manufacturers list is not detailed enough to cover most furniture categories, but Top 100 furniture manufacturers list is too long to lose your patience. Please note that usually, the furniture products from these large furniture suppliers in China are in middle or low quality, especially they make stock furniture for their furniture factory warehouse, then there would be price advantage in mass furniture production and it is easier to seize the furniture market. At the same time, different furniture buyers have different needs, large-scale Chinese furniture factories may not be suitable for every furniture buyer or importer, the procedure is troublesome and small orders are not accepted.
This top 20 list does not mean other China furniture manufacturers who are not in this list is not good neither, actually many small and medium-sized China furniture manufacturers have good quality furniture products with competitive price and professional service, some small or medium-sized furniture buyers and importers are more willing to cooperate with them. But it is hard for furniture manufacturers under COVID since 2020, many furniture manufacturers and factories closed in recent years, not only in China, but also all over the world, so please be careful when you are looking for furniture suppliers, welcome to contact us if you want to import furniture from China but do not know how to choose China furniture suppliers.
