A new dining-chair collection does not have to begin with a large container order. DALI Wood Industry has developed six complete chair options for buyers who want an accessible price, genuine wood character and a practical starting quantity.
The collection is designed around an indicative factory price level of approximately US$20 per complete chair set, including standard export packaging. The minimum order quantity starts from 5 complete sets for eligible configurations. This gives furniture retailers, restaurant suppliers, project buyers and new brands a realistic way to request samples, test a local market or begin with a small commercial order.
The visible wood surfaces use genuine natural wood veneer. They are not printed decorative paper, synthetic wood-grain film or a digitally repeated imitation pattern. Each veneer sheet comes from real wood, so the grain, pores and tonal movement remain visible and tactile. Buyers get the warmth and variation of authentic timber while the molded plywood structure keeps the chair efficient and suitable for repeat production.
The launch includes two P2601 frame options and four additional dining-chair models: P501, P503, P505 and P507. Together they cover upholstered and exposed-wood seating, four-leg and sled-base frames, armless and armchair formats, and neutral or stronger frame colors.
The approximate US$20 level is intended to make the collection easy to evaluate. The final unit price depends on the selected model, veneer, frame finish, upholstery, packaging method, order quantity and current material costs. Buyers should request the latest price list for a model-by-model quotation rather than treating one number as a permanent fixed offer.
For the eligible standard configurations, the quotation direction covers a complete chair and standard export packaging. It is not a price for an unfinished plywood component or an empty frame. The customer receives a finished product prepared according to the confirmed order specification.
Unless specifically included in the quotation, international freight, import duty, destination taxes, market-specific laboratory testing, special retail packaging, custom logos and non-standard materials are separate. This keeps the base offer clear and allows each buyer to add only the services needed for the destination market.
Indicative price: around US$20 per complete chair set for selected standard configurations;
Packaging: standard export packaging included in the quoted product direction;
Starting MOQ: from 5 complete sets for eligible models and finishes;
Current quotation: confirmed by model, specification, quantity and delivery terms;
Price list: available on request for buyers comparing all six options.
The P2601 family uses a broad curved plywood back with natural veneer and a black upholstered seat. Its wraparound back profile creates a stronger visual identity than a flat panel while remaining simple enough for dining and contract interiors.
The P2601 Four-Leg option uses a light-colored tubular metal frame. It has a clean, quiet appearance that works well in cafes, casual restaurants, staff dining rooms and modern residential collections. The separate padded seat adds comfort without covering the natural wood back.
The P2601 Sled Base uses a bright metal sled-style frame. It keeps the same curved-back idea but gives buyers a different floor profile and a more architectural look. This version can suit meeting areas, dining spaces, reception zones and furniture retailers looking for a recognizable chrome-frame chair.
Offering two frames around one visual language also helps buyers build a small collection. A retailer may present both options, while a restaurant project can choose the base that best matches the interior and floor conditions.
P501 is the armchair in the group. The exposed natural-veneer seat and back are combined with a slim sled-style metal frame and black arm pads. It creates a more supportive visual profile for restaurant end chairs, meeting spaces, customer waiting areas and hospitality projects that want an arm option without a heavy upholstered body.
P503 is a compact armless dining chair with a rounded plywood back, shaped plywood seat and warm-colored four-leg frame. Its straightforward construction makes the genuine grain the main design feature. It can work as a cafe chair, canteen chair, restaurant dining chair or an affordable retail dining option.
The three-angle images show the real construction decisions buyers need to compare: back curvature, seat shaping, rear support, frame connection and floor footprint. These details matter when planning table spacing, carton dimensions and the overall appearance of a dining area.
P505 combines a natural-veneer plywood back with a light upholstered seat and a contrasting red metal frame. The padded seat makes it suitable for customers who want a softer sitting surface, while the wood back keeps the product visually connected to the rest of the collection. Upholstery and frame color choices can be reviewed when requesting the price list.
P507 keeps both the seat and back in exposed natural veneer. Its warm frame color and rounded back produce a simple, energetic chair for cafes, school or company dining areas, casual restaurants, apartment dining sets and small furniture shops.
These two models let buyers choose how much upholstery they want to introduce. An exposed-wood chair is easy to read visually and highlights the veneer, while an upholstered-seat version adds softness and another way to coordinate colors with the interior.
The natural veneer in this collection is a thin surface layer cut from real timber and applied to the molded plywood component. It should not be confused with solid wood, but it is also very different from a printed imitation surface.
Because the grain is natural, two chairs will not look mechanically identical. The direction, lines and small tonal variations change from sheet to sheet. That variation is part of the material's value: customers can see and touch a real wood surface rather than a repeated graphic pattern.
Buyers can confirm the available veneer species, tone, surface finish and acceptable color range before ordering. For commercial projects, an approved finish sample helps the factory and buyer align expectations while still respecting the natural variation of wood.
A starting MOQ of five complete sets gives several types of buyers more flexibility:
small furniture stores can test one new model without committing to excessive stock;
restaurant and cafe buyers can review a physical trial group before a larger rollout;
online sellers can prepare photography and customer feedback with a controlled first order;
designers can present real samples to a client instead of relying only on drawings;
distributors can compare finishes and construction before confirming a repeat order.
Availability at the five-set level depends on the model and selected configuration. Buyers who want mixed models, special colors or custom upholstery should state the required combination so DALI can confirm the most economical production plan.
DALI's production capabilities cover the curved plywood parts that define these chairs. Work can include veneer preparation, mold pressing, conditioning, trimming, CNC machining, drilling, sanding and surface finishing, followed by coordination with the frame, upholstery and final assembly requirements of the complete product.
The two production views show the difference between forming capacity and precision processing. Pressing creates the repeatable plywood curve, while CNC work controls trimming and connection details. Both stages are important when a buyer expects the next batch to match the approved chair.
For export orders, the product specification should confirm the model, dimensions, veneer, coating, upholstery, frame finish, carton method, markings and any destination-specific requirements. Standard packaging is part of the approximately US$20 product direction, while custom packaging can be quoted separately.
The six-model collection is suitable for more than one retail category. Depending on the selected model and project requirements, the chairs can be considered for restaurants, cafes, hotel breakfast areas, company dining rooms, staff canteens, meeting areas, furniture stores, online collections and residential dining spaces.
Project buyers should confirm the required structural, surface, emissions, upholstery and fire-related standards for the actual destination and use. Tests and documents should be matched to the finished model rather than assumed from a general material description.
To receive an accurate offer, send DALI the model numbers you prefer, required quantity, destination country, veneer or color preference, upholstery requirement and delivery terms. The team can then provide the current six-model price list, confirm which configurations are close to the US$20 level and identify the options available from a five-set MOQ.
This launch is designed for buyers who want a complete chair, standard packaging, real natural-veneer character and a small entry quantity. Request the price list and three-angle product files to compare P2601 Four-Leg, P2601 Sled Base, P501, P503, P505 and P507 side by side.
Prices are indicative and subject to model, specification, quantity, material costs, packaging and trade terms at the time of quotation. Freight, duties, taxes, special testing and non-standard customization are excluded unless expressly stated.
