The countdown to Asia's biggest furniture stage has started. From 8–11 September 2026, the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) throws open its doors for the 31st edition of Furniture China, and for the second year running, U-LIKE is bringing its newest collections, its factory floor, and its whole design team to Shanghai to meet you in person.
Last year's show set records: over 163,000 visitors and more than 3,200 exhibitors across five days. 2026 is set to go even bigger, 350,000 m² of exhibition space across 50 halls in Pudong, run alongside the newly expanded Maison Shanghai design week. If you source furniture for retail, hospitality, or contract projects, this is the week your calendar should already be blocked for.

Furniture China 2026 at a Glance
- Dates: Tuesday 8 – Friday 11 September 2026
- Venue: Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), Pudong, Shanghai
- Scale: 350,000 m² across 50 halls, 3,200+ exhibitors expected
- Runs alongside: Maison Shanghai / Maison Shanghai Design Week, 7–10 September at SWEECC
- Organized by: China National Furniture Association (CNFA) with Sinoexpo Informa Markets
Where to Find U-LIKE
U-LIKE will once again split its story across two dedicated spaces at SNIEC, one for dining, one for upholstery and beds, so you can see the full range without crossing the entire show floor.
- Dining Furniture Collection — Hall E3, Booth C21
- Sofa & Bed Collection — Hall W2, Booth E21
Each stand is designed as a lived-in room rather than a catalogue wall, so instead of flipping through a lookbook, you can sit on the sofa, open the drawer, and run your hand along the finish before you ever place an order.

Who Should Visit
The show floor covers everything from classical reproduction furniture to smart-home systems, so it helps to know exactly where U-LIKE fits before you plan your route.
- Retail and wholesale buyers sourcing dining, living room, and bedroom collections for import or private-label distribution.
- Hospitality and contract buyers needing durable, code-compliant furniture for hotels, serviced apartments, and multi-unit residential projects.
- Brand owners and design teams exploring OEM/ODM partnerships, from a light spec tweak on an existing model to a fully custom line.
Why Visit U-LIKE at Furniture China 2026
With thousands of exhibitors on the floor, every buyer has to be selective about where they spend their four days. Here's what a stop at U-LIKE actually gets you:
- Talk straight to the factory. No trading-company markup, no game of telephone, you're negotiating FOB pricing and MOQs directly with the people who build the furniture.
- See next year's collection first. The pieces on our stand debut at the show; they won't appear in export catalogues or on the website until afterward.
- Get compliance answers on the spot. Our QC and compliance team can walk you through FSC certification, CARB Phase 2, REACH, EN standards, and UK/FR fire-safety ratings for any piece on the floor.
- Scope out private label and OEM/ODM work face to face. Bring a spec sheet, a sketch, or just an idea, our design leads can talk feasibility and lead times right there.
- Judge quality with your hands, not a spec sheet. Frame joints, drawer glide, fabric weight, cushion recovery, the things photos can't show you.

What to Expect at Our Stand
Both stands are built and staffed the same way, so whichever one you walk into first, here's what you'll find:
- Full room vignettes, not a wall of samples — dining, living, and bedroom settings staged the way they'd actually be used, so you can picture them in your own catalogue or store.
- Real material and finish samples out on the tables, including the new fabrics, lacquers, and hardware for 2026 , not just swatch cards.
- English-speaking sales and engineering staff on-site for the full four days, able to talk pricing, lead times, and customization without a translator in the loop.
- On-the-spot quoting for standard SKUs, and a clear next-step process for custom or private-label requests.
- A private meeting area for scheduled appointments, so pre-booked buyers aren't competing with walk-in foot traffic for the team's attention.
- Digital sourcing packs (spec sheets, CAD files, compliance docs) available to take away or have emailed on the spot.
Beyond the Fairground: Factory and Showroom Access
Prefer to see how a prototype becomes a production run? We're again planning a post-fair excursion from Shanghai to our 100,000 m² smart plant and 2,500 m² showroom in Bazhou, Hebei. Watch the powder-coating robots at work, inspect upholstery seams up close, and sit down with our design leads to talk through private-label tweaks right beside the line that will build them. We're happy to help arrange hotel bookings in Tianjin or Langfang for guests adding the factory visit to their itinerary.
Reserve Your Slot
Booth time fills up fast once the show opens, so we recommend booking ahead rather than hoping to catch us between meetings, especially in the first two days, when appointment calendars go first.
A short form lets you book a meeting with our regional manager, on the stand or over video call and our team will confirm your slot within 24 hours.
