Buying bali rattan furniture wholesale through Island Artisan Wholesale gives you a single point of contact for chairs, lounges, daybeds, screens, baskets and rattan decor produced across Balinese and Javanese weaving workshops — specified in writing, inspected before packing, and consolidated into one export shipment. You brief the assortment once; we handle workshop allocation, sample approval, quality control, packing and documentation.
Rattan is the category where store buyers and villa fit-out teams lose the most money to guesswork. Frame gauge, weave tightness, joinery method and finish all vary between workshops, and two chairs that look identical in photographs can behave completely differently after six months in a coastal climate. Our offers state material and construction detail explicitly so you are comparing like with like before you commit.
What the Bali Rattan Furniture Wholesale Service Covers
The range is organised around real buying patterns: seating, tables and case goods, lighting and screens, and soft rattan accessories that fill freight space profitably.
Seating
- Occasional and dining chairs — open-weave, closed-weave and peel-wrapped frames, with and without cushions.
- Lounge and accent chairs — including high-back statement chairs, tub forms and low-slung lounge shapes.
- Daybeds and sofa sets — two- and three-seat configurations, usually quoted with cushion specification separately.
- Bar and counter stools — matched height sets for hospitality and residential kitchens.
Tables, storage and case goods
- Side tables, coffee tables and console tables combining rattan with timber or glass tops.
- Rattan-fronted cabinets, bedside units and open shelving.
- Woven storage — lidded baskets, laundry hampers, trunks and nested sets.
Lighting, screens and accessories
- Pendant lampshades and floor lamp shades in open and tight weaves.
- Room dividers, headboards and decorative wall panels.
- Mirrors, trays, planters, placemats and smaller woven decor that pack into container voids.
Materials and construction
Pieces are built from natural rattan core and peel, wicker, seagrass, water hyacinth, abaca, bamboo and mendong grass, generally over a rattan or timber frame. For contract and outdoor-adjacent use, synthetic PE rattan over powder-coated aluminium frames is available where natural fibre would not survive the environment. Finishes include natural, honey, whitewash, black and custom-matched stains. Every offer states frame material, weave fibre, joint method and finish, because those four details determine whether a chair survives commercial use.
Quality control before packing
Inspection focuses on frame stability under load, tightness and evenness of weave, absence of protruding fibre ends and nail heads, consistency of colour across a batch, and moisture content. Natural fibre shipped damp is the single most common cause of mould claims on arrival, so drying and acclimatisation before packing is treated as non-negotiable rather than optional.
How to Order Rattan Furniture Wholesale from Bali
- Step 1 — Brief us. Send your product list, target quantities, destination and intended use — retail resale, residential villa, or commercial hospitality — to [email protected] or +6281139414563. Use type matters more than any other detail because it sets the construction standard.
- Step 2 — Receive a specified offer. You get photographs, dimensions, frame and fibre specification, finish, MOQ, unit price, lead time and packed volume per item.
- Step 3 — Sample approval. For furniture we strongly recommend samples, particularly for seating. A chair is judged by sitting in it, not by looking at a photograph of it.
- Step 4 — Confirm the order. Approve the final specification and packing list; deposit and balance terms are agreed in writing on the same document.
- Step 5 — Production and inspection. Workshops build to the approved sample. Goods are inspected and photographed against the packing list before loading.
- Step 6 — Consolidation, packing and dispatch. Items from multiple workshops are consolidated at one point, packed for freight, loaded and shipped with the commercial invoice, packing list and standard export documents.
Because rattan furniture is voluminous and light, most buyers cube out a container long before they hit its weight limit. Adding dense, small-format lines such as bali home decor wholesale items or carved pieces from the bali wood carving wholesale range is the standard way to make the freight economics work harder.

A note on pricing
No fixed price list is published, because rattan pricing turns on frame material, weave density, size, cushion specification and order volume. As a typical market range, small woven accessories and baskets commonly trade wholesale in the single-digit to low tens of US dollars, dining and occasional chairs frequently sit in the tens to low hundreds, and large lounge sets, daybeds and statement pieces move into the several hundreds per unit. Those figures are market orientation only — your quotation is written against your own specification.
Who This Suits
- Furniture and homeware retailers in the United States, Australia and Europe adding a natural-fibre range to their floor.
- Villa owners and developers fitting out a whole property in one order rather than buying piecemeal.
- Hotel, resort and restaurant buyers who need consistent construction across dozens or hundreds of matching units.
- Interior designers and procurement consultants specifying for clients and needing traceable, written specifications.
- Importers and wholesalers supplying regional stores who require restockable SKUs, not one-off finds.
- Online furniture sellers testing a rattan category before scaling to full container volumes.
Where an order pulls stock from several artisan categories at once, the bali handicraft export service manages consolidation, packing supervision and documentation so you deal with one shipment and one set of paperwork.
FAQ
Is Bali rattan furniture suitable for outdoor use?
Natural rattan is an indoor and covered-area material, not a fully outdoor one. Direct rain and sustained UV exposure break down natural fibre and its finish, causing brittleness and colour loss. For open terraces, poolside areas and genuinely exposed positions, synthetic PE rattan woven over a powder-coated aluminium frame is the correct specification and is available on request. State the intended position in your brief so the right material is quoted from the start.
What is the minimum order for rattan furniture wholesale?
Minimum order quantity for rattan furniture is set per design rather than across the whole shipment. Seating and repeat-production items typically carry a per-design minimum because workshops batch their frames, while large one-off pieces can often be supplied as singles. Mixed assortments across several designs are common and usually easier to fulfil than a single high-volume SKU. Your written offer states the MOQ for each item individually.
How long does production take?
Rattan furniture is made to order, so lead time starts when the sample is approved and the deposit is received, not when the enquiry is sent. Timeframes depend on order size, the number of workshops involved, finish complexity and the seasonal workload of the weaving cluster. Custom designs take longer than catalogue items because of the sample round. Every offer carries an estimated lead time, and any change is communicated in writing rather than discovered at the packing stage.
Can rattan furniture be made in custom sizes and finishes?
Custom sizes, weave patterns, frame heights and stain colours are produced to buyer drawings or reference samples, subject to an approval round before bulk production. This is routine for hospitality projects where furniture must fit a defined floor plan or match an existing scheme. Cushion fabric can be supplied by the buyer or sourced locally. Send drawings and any physical reference to [email protected] early, since custom work extends the production schedule.
How is rattan furniture packed and how much space does it take?
Rattan furniture is bulky and light, so shipments almost always fill a container’s volume before reaching its weight capacity. Items are wrapped, corner-protected and where possible nested or knocked down to reduce cubic metres. Each offer states packed volume per unit so you can model the container load before ordering. Buyers commonly combine rattan with denser decor or carved goods to use the remaining payload efficiently.
