What is the minimum order quantity for furniture?
At Senja Furniture, we understand the diverse needs of our international buyers, which is why we offer flexible minimum order quantities (MOQs). Typically, our per-item MOQs are 5-20 pieces for solid-wood furniture and 10-30 pieces per model or color for woven and rattan items. The minimum overall order is usually one 20ft container, approximately 25-28 CBM. This approach allows buyers to mix different models and materials within a container, provided each item meets its MOQ and the total load meets the minimum CBM requirement. This flexibility is standard practice in Indonesia, making it easier for our buyers to curate a diverse selection of products that suit their market needs. For specific inquiries regarding MOQ, we encourage you to submit a Request for Quote (RFQ).
How long does it take to manufacture and export furniture?
The lead time for manufacturing and exporting furniture at Senja Furniture typically ranges from 30 to 60 days, depending on the order size and finishing requirements. Once production is complete, sea freight transit to major markets such as the US, EU, and Australia generally takes about 3-5 weeks, though this can vary based on the route and season. For destinations in the Middle East and Asia, transit times are often shorter. Please note that these are approximate timelines, and we recommend confirming current schedules as they can fluctuate due to various factors. Our team is committed to ensuring a smooth and timely export process, and we handle export clearance and loading at major Indonesian ports such as Tanjung Perak, Tanjung Emas, and Benoa under FOB terms.
What types of wood are used in your furniture?
Senja Furniture proudly sources a diverse range of high-quality woods to create our furniture pieces. Our primary materials include solid teak and reclaimed or recycled teak from Jepara, known for its durability and beautiful grain patterns. We also use mahogany and suar/acacia, particularly for live-edge designs. In addition to wood, we incorporate natural rattan, synthetic/PE all-weather rattan, water hyacinth, and seagrass into our designs. For certain products, we offer genuine leather and stone or terrazzo tops. Each material is selected for its strength, aesthetic appeal, and suitability for specific furniture styles. All timber used in our products is SVLK certified, ensuring legality and traceability, and supporting our commitment to responsible sourcing and environmental stewardship.
Do you offer custom furniture design services?
Yes, Senja Furniture offers comprehensive custom furniture design services to cater to the unique needs of our clients. We provide both OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) services, allowing buyers to have furniture manufactured to their specific drawings, specifications, and finishes. Our process includes the creation of pre-production samples for approval before proceeding with bulk production, ensuring that the final products meet your exact requirements. We also offer private-label and branding options, enabling businesses to enhance their brand identity through our expertly crafted furniture. Our team is here to assist with any custom design inquiries you may have, and we invite you to contact us for detailed discussions and a tailored quote.
What are the payment terms for international orders?
For international orders, Senja Furniture typically requires a deposit of approximately 30-50% of the total order value to begin production. This is usually made via T/T (bank transfer). The remaining balance is payable against a copy of the Bill of Lading (B/L). We understand that payment terms are crucial for our buyers, and as such, we offer negotiable terms for repeat customers to foster long-term partnerships. It is important to confirm the specific payment terms for each order, as they may vary based on factors such as order size and buyer history. Our goal is to ensure a transparent and secure transaction process, providing peace of mind for our international clients.
How do you ensure the quality of your furniture?
Ensuring the quality of our furniture is a top priority at Senja Furniture. We employ a comprehensive quality control system throughout the manufacturing process to maintain high standards. This includes careful selection of raw materials, skilled craftsmanship, and thorough inspections at various production stages. Our team is trained to identify and address any potential issues, ensuring that each piece meets our stringent quality criteria before it is shipped. Additionally, our adherence to the SVLK certification guarantees the legality and traceability of the timber used, further supporting our commitment to quality and sustainability. For buyers seeking additional assurance, some of our factories offer FSC certification on top of SVLK, providing a voluntary sustainability certification.
What are the shipping options and costs?
Senja Furniture offers several shipping options to accommodate the needs of our international buyers. The most common shipping term is FOB (Free on Board), where we handle export clearance and loading at the Indonesian port, and the buyer arranges for sea freight and insurance. We also offer CFR (Cost and Freight) and CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) terms, where we manage the transportation and insurance up to the destination port. Shipping costs depend on various factors, including the destination, container size, and current freight rates. We recommend requesting a detailed quote for accurate pricing. Our main export seaports are Tanjung Perak, Tanjung Emas, and Benoa, facilitating efficient shipping to global destinations.
Can I mix different furniture styles in one container?
Absolutely, mixing different furniture styles in one container is a standard practice at Senja Furniture. This flexibility allows our buyers to offer a varied selection of products to their customers. As long as each item meets its per-item MOQ and the overall load meets the minimum CBM requirement for a 20ft container (approximately 25-28 CBM), you can combine different models and materials within a single shipment. This approach is particularly beneficial for buyers looking to diversify their inventory without overcommitting to a single style or product line. We encourage you to discuss your specific requirements with our team to ensure the optimal arrangement for your order.
