Based on the answers you've written, you seem like the perfect person to ask this question to. How in the world does one find a trustworthy overseas manufacturer of small furniture? I am searching and searching and going in circles. Anyone who seems available via email/phone, I can't find info about, and their payment terms are T/T, which I've read is risky. Any information for a new inventor looking to have a cabinet made? Thank you so much, in advance!
