Houjie, China - As the world and China are recovering its economy, Chinese furniture producers are recovering their confidence, encouraged by the uprising furniture export business and buoyant domestic Chinese market. To meet the soaring demand for space by exhibitors, the organizers of the Fair decided to add another temporary building of 20,000 square meters to the showground, making the total number of exhibition halls at ten and gross exhibition space reaching 260, 000 square meters.

Commonly known as 3F, the Fair is widely regarded as the furniture show "representing the best" of furniture products made in China. Holding concurrent with 3F are International Famous Furniture Woodworking and Machinery and Materials Fair and Dongguan Home Accents Fair. The combination of the 3 trade shows touches every essential category in the home furnishings/decor marketplace, including bedroom furniture, living room furniture, upholstery, wall decor, decorative accessories, lightings, textile as well as woodworking machinery and materials.

"The responses from Chinese manufacturers are very positive, we are still receiving applications a week before the show opens," said Ms. Fang, the Secretary General of 3F Organizing Committee. "Over the years, many furniture companies put their trust in 3F and regard 3F as a very important platform for them to meet new customers and consolidate the business relationship with existing customers. We don''t want to spoil this trust and that¡¯s why we build the additional building so that we can cater to more manufacturers."

The newly added building is a tent facing Hall 3, designed and built by top tent builder in China. The techniques, materials and engineering standards are in par with those used in Cologne Furniture and Index Furniture Show in UAE. All the walls facing Hall 3 are deliberately replaced by glass to achieve better display results for the exhibitors.
