We checked 26 Chinese cabinet exporters - 8 in 10 publish no prices at all. Here are our real indicative ranges: per-metre rates by configuration tier, typical project totals, and what moves the number.

Ten Chinese wardrobe and walk-in closet manufacturers checked against their own published figures, with minimum orders, export focus and Australia/New Zealand references noted.

The first-party record for MeShome: legal entity, address, what is made in house versus bought from specialist workshops, materials, board grades, hardware tiers, published trading terms, and the things we deliberately do not claim.

What actually happens between your first email and cabinets on the wall: who draws the plans, what sign-off commits you to, when you pay, and the paperwork that decides whether the container clears.

Which board to specify for imported kitchen cabinets: plywood for carcasses, MDF for fronts, and the one material choice that decides whether your New Zealand container needs fumigation at all.
