- Foshan Furniture Shopping Guide: Your Ultimate Trip to Lecong Furniture Hub
Why Foshan? Why Lecong?
If you’re hunting for furniture in China, Foshan is the place to be—and Lecong is its beating heart. As China’s largest furniture distribution center, Lecong offers:
- Endless Styles: From minimalist modern to classic European, rustic wooden to high-tech smart furniture—you’ll find every design imaginable under one roof.
- Hands-On Experience: Couches, mattresses, tables… these are items you live with daily! In Lecong, you can touch the fabric, test the comfort, and see the craftsmanship before buying. No more guessing from online photos!
Pre-Trip Prep (Essential!)
- Make a Shopping List & Budget: Stick to what you need—Lecong is massive, and distractions are everywhere.
- Measurements Matter: Note exact dimensions for every piece (sofa length, table width…). Nothing’s worse than falling for a couch that won’t fit your living room!
- Bring Your Floor Plan: Architects’ drawings or even a phone photo of your space help sellers suggest the perfect fit.
- Book Factory Showrooms Early: Search Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) for Foshan furniture factories, message their WeChat, and schedule visits. Many premium showrooms require appointments!
1-Day Lecong Itinerary (Maximize Your Time!)
Morning: Luxury & Quality
1. Louvre Furniture Mall (罗浮宫)
Start here for high-end inspiration. Head straight to the 5th-floor Imported Brands Hall (ask the front desk to register). Afterward, explore the 3rd-floor Solid Wood Area—think North American walnut, American/European styles, with full-home sets ranging from ¥100,000–¥200,000. Perfect if you prioritize design and durability.
2. Shunlian North District (顺联北区)
Don’t miss Bol领 Showroom—the largest here. Their staff are super helpful, and the designs balance aesthetics and functionality. Great for mid-to-high-end shoppers.
Afternoon: Budget Finds & Hidden Gems
1. Shunlian South District (顺联南区)
More affordable than the north, but quality varies. Focus on simple, modern styles and bargain hard. Pro tip: Ask for factory direct prices—many shops here double as wholesalers.
2. Log Furniture Store (Opposite Shunlian South)
A Xiaohongshu favorite! Tons of small-space-friendly wooden furniture—I loved their practical sofa designs. Prices are reasonable, and quality feels solid for the cost.
3. Red Star Macalline (红星美凯龙)
Right across from Dongming Furniture City, this is where big-name brands (like顾家,左右) showcase their flagship stores. Great for checking trends, but expect brand premiums—not the best for budget shoppers.
How to Shop Smart in Lecong
Furniture prices in Lecong span a huge range—know your budget:
- Luxury: ¥100,000+ (imported brands, high-end materials)

- Instagram-Worthy Trends: ¥5,000–¥20,000 (popular styles, mid-quality)

Always ask:

Critical Tips Before You Pay
- Color Matching: Lighting in showrooms can distort colors—ask for fabric swatches or photos in natural light.
- Payment Terms: Never pay full upfront! Standard is 50% deposit, 50% on delivery.
- Shipping Logistics: Lecong has tons of furniture shipping agents—negotiate door-to-door delivery (they’ll handle customs if exporting).
