Business idea - Production of furniture from natural wood. Business idea: production of office chairs Everything for the production of chairs
Dear experts! Since childhood I dreamed of working with wood, but it never worked out. And now, at the age of 40, he has matured.
I want to organize a small production of chairs from solid Caucasian oak, beech, ash with elements of bent wood.
Please, friends! Please tell me what equipment is needed? Minimum set...
Thank you in advance)

Somehow one doesn’t fit with the other. Don't you think?
First you need to get necessary knowledge and skills, and only then dream about the enterprise. Make at least one chair for yourself.
By vote. Only you can decide whether it is worth it or not. The success of an enterprise depends to a greater extent on your capabilities than on market conditions. No one except you knows for how much, for what, how and for whom you are going to produce products and to whom to sell them.
I have experience as a hobby... I made a crib for my son. In his youth he worked cutting slats.

Was the crib made of solid wood with bent wood elements? Before you think about production, you need to study the subject itself. Search online for materials and carpentry forums. Perhaps it would be better to start by working as an apprentice in the industry you are interested in; half the questions will immediately disappear.
In general, everything is elementary. You make a couple of chairs. Sell in your region. Find out from buyers what they liked, maybe they still need, or what design, let them recommend you to their friends. You advertise for designer furniture to order, attach a photo of what you did. If you trample, you register as an individual entrepreneur and buy a website with beautiful design. Once you stop coping with orders, hire people and rent space for a workshop. By this point, you will already know what equipment you need to rent or lease, and you will be able to calculate the profitability of the enterprise; besides, you will already have part of the necessary funds for development.
Whether it will take off or not, it all depends on the directness of your hands and enterprise.
Thank you!

To work you need:
3. Tenoner/hand router.
5. Bench jigsaw
Thank you for your answer. Our raw materials in the south are good, oak, beech good prices. As I already said, I don’t have much experience in cutting slats. Well, plus all my life I’ve been making something (crafts, etc.)
Now I'm trying to figure out if it's worth starting this business.
But such forms cannot be achieved without bending??? I want elegant, airy chairs...
This is just steamed bending??

Prices for Juneau chair in leather and black:
The latter is the “garage” manufacturer.
And what type of wood is that “garage” one made of? At this price I would give away such chairs and 1st class beech wood

Bend a tree? Well, who knows, I would prefer to cut a shape from an array.
To work you need:
1. universal machine: jointer, surface planer, circular saw. You can find a used one and then bring it to mind, or immediately buy a good one, not some Kraton, but a normal Jet type device
2. Miter saw. You can do without it, but it is very useful in the household.
3. Tenoner/hand router.
5. Bench jigsaw
I can’t give you any advice on cutting and sewing. You need a lot of clamps. Patterns. Good raw materials and good premises.
And try, if after half a cube of damaged wood you at least don’t saw off your fingers, that’s good.
In general, there is no need to go into a tree without knowledge. I experienced it on my own skin. Everything seems to be working out, everything seems to be fine... But bam it burst. Why? Or it’s starting to jar... KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE are needed.

Stretch the connections - it will be good.
In any case, for his money he’s doing quite well, he’ll do the housework.
For industrial production I would still take a separate thicknesser.

Thank you! In general, is Reimus necessary? If the material is good, just jointer won't it work?
It won't work. A thicknesser is needed to obtain material of the same thickness from different boards.
You might make your first batch on a Corvette. As a start for little money, it will pay for itself. Then assign an Uzbek to him and let him saw the picket fence.
The machine is just right for a picket fence)))
However, I have + on it miter saw corvette made:
- Workbench in the workshop
- Several doors
- Stools for the house
- Window frame for the workshop, cover it with drying oil - it’s not a shame to put it in the house
- Clothes drying cabinet
- Desk (the child built himself)
- Well, so, little by little.
How are chairs produced and is there any sense in such an enterprise if we consider it as a private business? The result is tangible. After all, wood can “wear out” over the years, fashionable accents change, and with them the demand for chairs in different stylistic directions. What is the technology for making a chair from wood and what is required for this?
Stages of making a chair with your own hands
- Uncover edged boards for chair blanks
The first step is the mandatory cutting of the board into individual elements (blanks) that will be required in the future. For this, special multifunctional machines or saws are used, it all depends on the technology for making chairs in a particular place (house, manufacturing facility).
- Cut into curves, additional blanks
A minimum is required, since the usual one is inappropriate in this case. After all, the parts have curved shapes, and the workpiece should be brought closer to the ideal.
- Cutting wood to length
Next comes the production of blanks for legs, drawers and legs to a certain length. The manufacturing technology of a chair in production in this case involves the use.
Cleaning of workpieces for finishing, full production of legs, frames, prongs, etc. Simultaneous grinding of parts ready for assembly is also carried out. In production and mass production, you can use a special machine for chairs, which is multifunctional and makes it possible to carry out several actions simultaneously.
In order for the subsequent connection of the grooves to the tenon to be successful, it is necessary to clean the parts, in particular the grooves themselves. A multi-spindle machine is an excellent assistant, and hand tools are quite useful for private craftsmen.
- Rounding the tenons
A milling machine will help process the spikes, which are located at the ends and have a rounded shape. This is necessary for all elements of the future chair of any shape, so that the connection is of optimal quality.
- Preparing a place for dowels
A mandatory action that is taken into account in the manufacturing technology of chairs is the transverse, most accurate trimming of individual parts at the desired angle. It is carried out with simultaneous processing of absolutely blind holes that are required for connecting to dowels. A miter cutter is suitable.
- Sanding simple and complex chair elements
Finish sanding of all elements of the chair – final stage processing of workpieces. This will give smooth surface, suitable for application paint and varnish material. Grinding machines – choice of enterprises and private workshops. For self-cleaning of products when making a single chair, you can use hand tool– grinder, plane or sandpaper.
- Assembling a chair from individual elements
At the end of the work, the chair is assembled by connecting all the parts into a dowel
Production metal furniture for private use and commercial activities as a type of business will always be in demand. Unlike wooden chairs, hardware They last almost forever and do not require any maintenance or repair. Therefore, the production of chairs can be considered a niche that will find its client in any case.
Manufacturing technology
What components does the chair frame consist of? This is a kind of strictly thought out set of straight and bent pipe parts that are welded together. That is, for the most part, the process of producing chairs involves working with profile material:
- Cutting workpieces to size;
- Bending pipes to the desired angle;
- Welding work.
After completing the main stages of work, the frame is painted and the chair cushion is fixed to it. Thus, if you properly set up these three stages of production, you can produce quite a large number of chairs per unit of time.
Equipment selection
The production of chairs is impossible without reliable tools for cutting metal and welding machine. However, depending on the level of the production workshop, the simplest types of equipment of this type can be used. In particular, in the production of chairs, manual cutting of blanks and manual welding are usually used, since there are quite a few touch points in the chair frame.
In addition, automated welding involves performing a long weld seam, but in the manufacture of chairs such technology is not relevant.
Therefore on initial stage To establish your business, you can easily get by with the simplest cutting and welding equipment - this will in no way affect the quality of the products.
Working with a pipe bender
A mass manufacturer of metal chairs has long adopted professional pipe bending equipment. Thanks to wide possibilities Such machines allow you to quickly and accurately bend pipes without damaging even the thinnest-walled products.
Pipe benders are designed to perform operations of bending pipe sections to the desired angle without deformation or cracks in the metal.
Manual mandrel pipe benders are most in demand in this business due to their productivity and low cost. In addition, even at the initial stage of development of a chair production business, it is recommended to use a special pipe bender, since it is practically impossible to bend a pipe with high quality manually.

Furniture is divided into frame and without frame. Metal carcass for furniture can be made on pipe bending machines. 3-axis pipe benders allow you to produce furniture frames with minimum quantity welds.
Metal frames are used in the following types furniture:
- household (home) furniture
- office furniture
- medical furniture
- industrial furniture
- country furniture
- tourist furniture
- bar furniture, etc.

Pipe bender for furniture frames made of profile pipes
Pipe bender for the manufacture of furniture frames from square and rectangular pipes must be mandrel and have at least 2 coordinates, i.e. they must be able to control the bending angle and extend the pipe to the starting point of the next bend. This is necessary to obtain absolutely identical parts according to overall dimensions, otherwise no final product at furniture production will not work.
When bending square, rectangular, oval and flat-oval pipes, the dimensions of which fit into a circle with a diameter of 30 mm, the 2-axis manual pipe bender and semi-automatic pipe bender CE-30/2 PARTNER, which provide good quality bending, high productivity and almost absolute repeatability of manufactured parts.
Pipe bender for furniture frames made of round pipes
In furniture production, in the manufacture of frames for chairs, beds, medical carts, strollers, gurneys and other medical furniture, round pipes are often used.
In this case, 3 are needed coordinate machines, which, in addition to the bending angle and linear extension to the bending start point, are also programmed according to the angle of rotation of the pipe in space.
Pipe benders for furniture pipes, produced by BMK:
- Mandrel, 3-axis programmable manual pipe bender;
- Semi-automatic mandrel 3-axis programmable pipe benders and;
- Mandrel, 3-axis pipe bending machines and;
The presence of a mandrel ensures excellent quality bending In addition, the mandrel allows the use of thin-walled pipes, the rigidity of which is sufficient for long-term use of furniture, and the price of the pipes is much lower. Considering that pipes are sold in kilograms, naturally there will be more thin-walled pipes per meter, and therefore more furniture frames, chairs and other furniture can be produced.
For steel pipes, manufactured according to GOST8734-75 and GOST8732-78
A=0.02466148*S*(Dн-S), gram
For stainless pipes, manufactured according to GOST9941-81 and GOST9940-81
A=1.08*S / (0.08+S/D), gram
where A is the weight of one linear meter pipes, gram
Dн — outside diameter pipes, mm
S - pipe wall thickness, mm
0.02466148 / 1.08 / 0.08 - conversion factors
Accordingly, knowing the length of the blanks, you can easily calculate the required number of pipes and compare their weight and cost, and then select pipes of the optimal size.
Pipe bending machines of the Partner series and Master series work perfectly with thin-walled pipes made of steel, aluminum, copper, and titanium.
Features of manufacturing round chair seats using pipe benders.
Often the seats of chairs and bar counters are made from rings, which are easiest to make from a straight pipe, curled into a spiral with a turn adjacent to the turn. Then the spiral is cut into rings. which are welded by any type of welding.
This method of manufacturing rings has become widespread when using pipe benders (profile benders) of 3-roller (roller) bending models,. These machines will allow you to produce a ring or a sector of any radius on any pipe within technical characteristics pipe bending machines.
Thus, on pipe bending machines the minimum bending radius is 150 mm, and on pipe benders it is 300 mm. Note that on roller machines with three drive rollers, repeatability and productivity are much greater. However, only on pipe benders and with large bending radii, the need for the operation of pressing the pipe and profile can be eliminated from the work cycle by synchronizing the rotation speed of the bending rollers. This operation is performed only once at the beginning work shift, due to the fact that on all 3 bending rollers the angular speeds of rotation of the rollers and linear speeds feeding of the bent pipe (profile).
Having mandrel and roller pipe benders produced by the Baltic Machine-Building Company (BMK LLC) in your furniture production, you will be able to implement any plans for the production of frame furniture.

Today there are many industries where office chairs are made. However, not everyone can boast of the reliability and quality of their products. Therefore, the opening of an enterprise for the production of high-quality office chairs with the right tactics and strategy, it can bring income to a novice entrepreneur.
Business concept
When setting up an office, attention is paid to the right choice chairs not only for the company’s senior management, but also for the staff. One of main characteristics products - quality and convenience, because some employees have to spend 8 hours a day at their desk. The office chair got its name precisely because it meets these requirements.
It is planned to open an enterprise for the production of office chairs. The main buyers will be individuals purchasing furniture for personal use, as well as companies making wholesale purchases for office equipment.
The production of any chair begins with the development of design. It must correspond to modern fashion trends. At the same time, you should not stop at one option; you need to develop a line of products. Then the buyer will be able to choose a product that will suit the interior.
On next stage choose the materials that will be used in production. Usually for production quality furniture Suitable: natural wood, metal, very rarely – plastic High Quality. Here they also determine the fittings and components.
One more stage production process– assembly of the frame base, installation of mechanisms with which the height will be adjusted, the back of the chair will be lowered or raised.
Then the back and seat are padded soft materials, the frame is covered with fabric. It can be natural or faux leather, suede, cotton, thick knitwear, etc.
After the chair is ready, it is sent to be checked for reliability and quality. Only after this is it packaged and transferred to a warehouse for storage or immediately delivered to the buyer.
What will be required for implementation?
Opening any business requires drawing up a competent plan, which reflects all aspects of the activity, from the amount of initial investments to ongoing advertising events, the estimated amount of net profit, and payback periods.
You also need to find and rent suitable premises, purchase equipment, select personnel.
To produce high-quality products, you must purchase the appropriate equipment. Especially when the company just opened. Often, novice entrepreneurs, in order to save money, purchase used equipment, missing the point that modern machines will not only allow them to master new technologies, but will also increase productivity. This is due to the fact that most of Such devices operate automatically, so there is no need to hire a lot of personnel. It is enough to involve several people in the work who will feed the material and regulate the operation of the machine.
For the production of chairs you will need edge banding machines, machines for cutting metal blanks, copy-milling machines, overlockers, sewing machines.
Step-by-step launch instructions
- Registration. Since not only individuals, but also enterprises will buy ready-made chairs, it is necessary to register the activity by selecting the “limited liability company” status. Then you will be able to work with clients using non-cash payments. OKVED choose 36.11 “Production of chairs and other seating furniture.” It is also necessary to obtain permits from fire authorities and the SES. Quality certificates will be required for manufactured products. GOST, which regulates this area - 19917-93 “Furniture for sitting and lying. Technical conditions".
- Room. To produce chairs, it is necessary to rent a premises with an area of at least 110 m², divide it into zones: production workshop; stock finished products, materials; administrative staff offices. Mandatory requirement– accessibility of transport access for loading finished products and unloading materials. Monthly rent will be approximately 80,000 rubles.
- Equipment and materials. Equipment you will need (approximate cost is indicated in rubles): machine for drilling holes - 40,000; formatting machine – 150,000; compressor – 18,000; pneumatic equipment – 20,000; metal cutting equipment – 25,000; Bulgarian – 12,000; welding equipment – 20,000; equipment for grinding and polishing metal workpieces – 15,000. Total 300,000 rubles. As for components, you need to purchase fittings (handles, wheels, etc.), lifting mechanisms. You will also have to purchase high-quality metal, fabric for covering the frame, and padding material (polyurethane foam or foam rubber). The total cost of components and materials will be approximately 300,000 rubles.
- Staff. Due to the fact that high-tech equipment will be used, it is necessary to select appropriate personnel. Employees must be able to handle such equipment, as well as quickly assemble furniture from ready-made parts. It would be a good idea for everyone to undergo preliminary training. The company will also need movers, packers, marketers, and accountants.
- Advertising. The main advertising sources will be the Internet, various furniture directories, leaflets, notes in newspapers and magazines. If an organization makes a bulk purchase, you can provide a discount for it. For example, every 20th chair is free or with a saving of 50%. Your own website is a powerful source of information about the company and its activities. Even though you will have to invest a significant amount of money into the resource, its effectiveness will be noticeable within 1-2 months.
Financial calculations
Start-up capital
Monthly expenses
How much can you earn?
The cost of an office chair will depend on the type of materials used in production, model and other characteristics finished product. For example, the price of middle-class chairs varies from 3,000 to 15,000 rubles or more. Even if the company sells 100 chairs every month at 5,000 rubles per unit, it will achieve monthly revenue of 500,000 rubles. Respectively, net profit minus current expenses will be approximately 98,000 rubles.
Payback period
The payback period for such a business will be from 5 to 8 months. This is an excellent indicator for production of this scale.
Business Features
The main difficulty that a new office chair manufacturer may face is finding reliable material suppliers. And if there should be no problems with frame components, then finding not only a responsible, but also a profitable supplier of natural fabrics will not be easy.
At the very beginning of activity, you need to focus on strengthening the company’s position in the market of a particular locality. To do this, you will need to present your products to customers as profitably as possible. Therefore, advertising is one of the most important areas with which you can achieve your goals. This will allow us to achieve success in the production of office chairs.
Conclusion
Despite the competition in this type of activity, high-quality production of goods will undoubtedly bear fruit. The main thing is to approach the implementation of a business project correctly and take into account all the subtleties of the matter.
