Ordering furniture remotely from another country can be daunting. You might be asking: “How do I know the measurements will be correct?” or “Will the wood crack when it arrives in my country?”
These are valid concerns. However, sourcing custom furniture in Bali is one of the smartest investments for villa owners and wholesalers—if you know the correct process. At Bali Best Buy Furniture, we believe in radical transparency. In this guide, we walk you through our proven manufacturing process for 2026, ensuring that what you envision is exactly what you receive.
Step 1: Consultation & CAD Design for Custom Furniture
The biggest mistake in ordering custom furniture is skipping the technical details. A vague sketch on a napkin is not enough to guarantee quality.
Providing Your Custom Design Requirements
Every project starts with a vision. You can send us your mood board, Pinterest links, or rough sketches. Whether you need a specific Bali tropical style or a modern industrial look, our design team will analyze your requirements to ensure they are structurally feasible.
3D CAD Drawing & Technical Verification
Once we understand your needs, we don’t just guess. We translate your ideas into detailed working drawings or 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design). This crucial step allows you to verify the exact dimensions (height, width, depth) before a single piece of wood is cut. We ensure the proportions fit your room layout perfectly.

Step 2: Material Selection for Bali Furniture Production
Once the design is approved, we select the raw materials. This is the most critical stage for durability in our Bali furniture production line.
Sourcing Legal Teak & Suar Wood (SVLK)
We strictly adhere to Indonesian laws by sourcing only legal wood (Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas Kayu). Depending on your budget and aesthetic preference, we offer:
- Teak Wood (Jati): The gold standard for durability.
- Suar Wood (Trembesi): Famous for massive live-edge slabs.
- Mahogany: Great for painted or classic indoor furniture.
Kiln Dried Wood Process (Moisture Control)
We do not rely on sun-drying, which is inconsistent. All wood enters our Kiln Dry facility to reach a stable moisture level.
- For Teak Wood: We target 10-12% Moisture Content (MC).
- For Suar Wood: We ensure deep-core drying to prevent future cracking or warping when the furniture arrives in a drier climate.
Step 3: Manufacturing Process & “White Wood” Inspection
Before we apply any color or varnish, we enter the carpentry phase. This is the heart of manufacturing custom furniture.
Carpentry & Mortise-Tenon Joinery
Our skilled artisans build your furniture using traditional techniques like mortise and tenon joints for maximum strength. We avoid using cheap nails or staples for structural parts. This ensures your custom furniture remains rigid for decades.
Remote “White Wood” Quality Check
For our international clients, we provide a “White Wood” inspection report. This is the stage where the wood is sanded smooth but still unfinished. We send detailed videos and high-resolution photos via WhatsApp so you can approve the build quality and wood grain patterns before finishing.
Step 4: Finishing Options for Bali Custom Furniture
This is where your Bali custom furniture comes to life. We offer a wide range of finishing options suitable for 2026 interior trends.
Natural Water-Based Matte Finish
For clients who love the organic look, we use a water-based matte finish. This preserves the natural texture of the wood and is popular for Scandinavian and Boho villa styles.
PU Lacquer for Outdoor Durability
For dining tables and outdoor furniture, we recommend a PU (Polyurethane) Lacquer coating. It provides a hard, protective layer that resists spills, heat, and weather, ensuring your furniture remains pristine with low maintenance.
Step 5: Final Quality Control (QC) Standards
We do not pack anything until it passes our strict QC checklist.
Wood Moisture & Structural Testing
Our Quality Control officer uses a digital MC meter to ensure the wood is dry (below 12%). We also stress-test chairs and tables to ensure legs are stable and there is no wobbling.
Visual & Aesthetic Final Review
We inspect every inch for scratches, uneven coloring, or sharp edges. Only items that meet our “Best Buy” standard are approved for packaging.
Step 6: Safe Shipping of Furniture from Bali
Shipping furniture from Bali to the world requires expert handling. We treat every item like fragile glass.
Export Standard Packaging (3-Layers)
We use a standard export packing method:
- Foam Sheet: Protects the delicate finishing from scratches.
- Single Face Corrugated Paper: Absorbs impact/shock during transit.
- Wooden Crates: For heavy items (like marble tables, mirrors, or glass), we build custom wooden pallets for maximum safety.
FCL vs LCL Cargo Arrangements
We can help you maximize container space (FCL – Full Container Load) to save on shipping costs. Or, for smaller orders, we arrange safe LCL (Less than Container Load) shipping to your nearest port.
