Buyer backgroundMarket & sourcing brief

Buyer profile

Buyer Profile

Following its initial upholstered bed order, the same Lithuanian furniture retailer approached us about a different model with a headboard appearance familiar to its customers. The buyer needed a practical construction proposal, a sample to review, and a clear specification and order plan before committing.

The buyer's decision path

Challenge &
Solution

01 Buyer problem

What needed to be resolved?

The requested headboard appearance mattered for the retailer's product offer, but the original bed-base drawing could not be reproduced using our production method. The buyer needed to know whether the visible design could be retained with an alternative base, how the sample would look and what upholstery, slat and packing details would be supplied.
02 Factory action

What did we do?

We explained the structural limitation instead of promising an exact copy. After the buyer agreed that the bed base could change, we proposed our existing base while retaining the requested headboard appearance. We developed a dark grey velvet sample, reviewed the photographs with the buyer and updated the order description to include the selected fabric, metal base, slat arrangement and two-carton packing. We also discussed whether components could be packed inside the headboard when considering container loading.
Materials reviewed during this project

We exchanged design-reference images, construction details, sample photographs, fabric selections and revised PI descriptions. The buyer reviewed the sample images and approved the revised order documentation before arranging payment.
