Bean bag chairs and matching cushions

SR-2026-072 · Furniture · Bean bags · September 2026

A mixed order of bean bags and matching cushions — two fill specifications in one shipment, which is where fill weight stops being a rounding error.

Receiving photographs

Photographs taken at our consolidation warehouse as the lot was received and checked. Container numbers, shipping labels, supplier marks and brand markings are masked; the lot is shown as it arrived, not restyled.

How this order was run

1. Worked the list back to the Foshan (Shunde / Lecong) factories that hold the tooling and the finish in house, and dropped two candidates whose quotes did not survive a price-pattern check.
2. Ran the first unit off the line through the full check sheet before bulk started, and corrected the packing rather than the product.
3. Held the balance of payment until the inspection set had been opened and photographed on our floor.

What was checked at receiving

This is the bean bags check sheet — the same list every order in this category goes through before the container is released.

• Frame joints checked under load, with corner blocks and glue lines inspected
• Foam density and seat height measured against the approved sample — foam is where a quote is quietly made cheaper
• Fabric inspected on the roll for dye-lot consistency before cutting, and the lot reference recorded against the order
• Every unit in the inspection set sat on and rocked; squeaks and loose joints recorded on the spot
• Upholstery seams, piping and stitch pitch compared against the approved sample photographs
• Feet and glides fitted and thread-checked — a missing glide is a claim on arrival

How it was packed

• Corner foam and a full carton liner; upholstery marks are permanent
• Legs or feet packed loose in the same carton and taped, so the unit travels at its shortest
• Units stacked no more than the factory's rated number per pallet
• Cartons strapped as blocks on the pallet rather than loose-stacked

The note

Seating fails on foam and on fabric. Both are invisible in a photograph and both are cut first when a supplier needs to hit a price — so the sample has to be measured, not looked at.

It is why seating is quoted against a measured sample rather than a description: foam density and fabric weight are the two numbers a buyer cannot see and a supplier can quietly move.
