Yes, absolutely. Reputable outdoor furniture manufacturers typically encourage or even require clients to evaluate pre-production samples before finalizing an OEM agreement. This standard practice is crucial for both parties. For you, the buyer, it allows for a hands-on assessment of the product's quality, material durability, finish, structural integrity, and overall craftsmanship. You can verify if the item matches your specifications, design files, and performance expectations in real-world conditions. For the manufacturer, it confirms that their production line has correctly interpreted your requirements. The process usually involves creating a single piece or a small batch according to your provided designs. There is often a sample fee to cover material and labor costs, which may be deductible from your future bulk order. We strongly advise never proceeding with a large-scale OEM order without first approving a physical sample. It is the most effective step to mitigate risks, prevent costly misunderstandings, and ensure a successful long-term partnership. Please contact our sales team to discuss your specific sample needs and the associated procedure.
