Seating enquiry

SPECIFICATION FIRST

What should I provide for a seating enquiry?

1. State overall dimensions, seat height, intended use and a drawing or reference image.
2. Identify frame, upholstery, colour and finish references; separate approved samples from preferences.
3. Define assembly format, included hardware, packing limits and the required inspection scope.

The categories describe buyer enquiry scopes, not a verified supplier catalogue or available stock. Exact models, technical evidence, origin, condition, compatibility and commercial terms require item-level confirmation.

BUYER EXAMPLE · NOT A CUSTOMER CASE

A common clarification step

A buyer sends a chair photo without dimensions. Before comparing offers, add the seat height, frame requirement, upholstery reference and quantity per colour.

What to compare

Do not compare an upholstered assembled chair with a knock-down chair using a different frame or covering as an identical offer.

Record the agreed reference revision, proposed alternative, unresolved question and approval status for each line.
