Buying furniture online from China Vs Coming in person to markets in Foshan.

A lot has changed in China in the last three years, the furniture markets among other markets have been hit the hardest due to COVID, the furniture markets that were once buzzing with international clients were empty for a long time, which drove the supplier to focus on the Chinese market rather than the international market.
