Apartment & Student Accommodation Furniture
Repeat room packages for apartments and student accommodation, flat-pack or assembled as your site needs.
Apartment & Student Accommodation Furniture sourced from the factories that make it
Apartment and student accommodation projects repeat the same room many times. The work is in fixing one specification, holding it across production, and packing it so your site team can install room by room.

What goes into an apartment or student room package?
Beds, bed bases and mattresses; study desks, chairs and shelving; wardrobes and storage; sofas, coffee tables and dining sets; and common-room and study-lounge furniture — flat-pack or assembled, as your site needs. The work is in fixing one specification, holding it across production, and packing it so your site team can install room by room.

Which US rules apply to mattresses?
The mattress flammability standards in 16 CFR Part 1632 (mattresses and mattress pads) and 16 CFR Part 1633 (open-flame requirements that all mattress sets must meet before sale). The upholstered furniture rule, 16 CFR Part 1640, does not cover mattresses, foundations or bedding.

And in Australia?
The Consumer Goods (Toppling Furniture) Information Standard 2024 applies to toppling furniture that is a consumer good — clothes storage units and bookcases 686 mm or taller, among others — and requires warnings at the point of sale and a permanent, durable warning label. For wooden furniture, importers must also meet the due diligence requirements of the Illegal Logging Prohibition Act 2012, as amended from 3 March 2025.
How do you charge?
For suppliers you nominate, we charge a 5% commission; for products we source for you, we quote a direct price. With a supplier you nominate, the supplier’s charge for delivering the goods from its premises to the loading point is added at cost; sea freight is quoted before shipment.
Who inspects the room packages before shipment?
Our own QC team, when production is finished and before shipment: quantities, dimensions, finish, fabric and foam, hardware and packing are checked against the signed-off specification, and you receive a QC report with photos and video. Your own project team is welcome to attend the inspection with us.
