5What is the best furniture factory in Damietta for my order?
Choose a factory with actual work suited to your order and clear written specifications, dimensions, materials, delivery schedule and warranty. The word ‘best’ alone, or price comparisons without equivalent specifications, is not enough.
6How do I check a furniture factory’s quality before ordering?
Request photographs of details and manufacturing stages, and inspect a piece or finish sample if possible. Review timber, upholstery, joints and dimensions, and clarify who is responsible for delivery and after-sales service.
7Can I visit the factory before ordering furniture?
Contact Two Brothers to arrange a visit to the showroom and factory in Damietta. Specify the furniture you want to inspect and bring dimensions and reference images to make the visit useful.
8Do website photographs show pieces available for immediate delivery?
Project photographs illustrate designs and workmanship. They do not necessarily mean every model is in stock. Ask whether the piece is available or must be manufactured, and confirm its delivery date.
9Does the factory serve individuals and dealers?
Yes. Two Brothers accepts individual and home furnishing orders, as well as orders from dealers and furniture showrooms. Specifications, quantities and quotations depend on the order.
10How do I contact the factory for a quotation?

Timber, materials and workmanship 10 questions
11What types of wood does Two Brothers use?
The factory states that it uses dried beech wood in furniture production. Ask about the timber and other components of your specific model, and have them written into the quotation rather than assuming every part uses the same material.
12Why is beech wood used for furniture?
Beech is a hardwood used in furniture frames, chairs and carving. Suitable drying, joints and finishes are essential. Quality depends on the complete construction and workmanship, not just the timber name.
13Why is timber dried before manufacturing?
Appropriate drying helps timber stabilise and reduces movement caused by humidity changes. It does not make wood immune to water, heat or misuse.
14Is a furniture piece’s weight enough to judge its quality?
No. Weight depends on dimensions, materials and internal construction. Check stability, joints, finish, drawers and hinges, and review the written specifications.
15What is the difference between natural wood, MDF and plywood?
Natural timber is cut from wood, MDF is made from manufactured wood fibres, and plywood comprises bonded veneer layers. Each has different uses. Compare grade, thickness, application and moisture protection.
16Does wood veneer mean furniture is low quality?
Not necessarily. Veneer displays natural wood grain over a suitable base. What matters is the base material, bonding, edges and finish. A veneered piece should not be described as solid wood if it is not.
17How do I inspect furniture joints and frames?
Check that the frame is straight, legs are stable and parts meet without obvious gaps or abnormal movement. Ask how the frame is assembled and which materials it contains, especially in chairs and sofas.
18How do I choose materials for daily use?
Consider usage intensity, who will use the piece and available cleaning methods. Compare frame, fabric, filling and accessory durability rather than choosing appearance without considering practical use.
19Is wooden furniture suitable for humid areas?
Wood and wood-based materials respond differently to moisture and water. Discuss the room conditions, materials, protected edges and ventilation. Do not assume indoor furniture is suitable for wet or outdoor use.
20Do quality certificates replace inspection of the actual design?
No. Certificates apply to their stated scope, issuing body and validity period. They do not determine the materials of each piece. Request a current copy if needed and also review model specifications, finishes and warranty.
Design, custom manufacturing and dimensions 10 questions
21Can furniture be manufactured from a photograph?
Send a reference photograph to discuss feasibility, dimensions and materials. A photo alone is not a final specification. Approve dimensions, details and finishes before manufacturing.
22Can you follow an interior designer’s design?
Manufacturing can be discussed using the designer’s drawings and approved details. The factory reviews feasibility, materials and dimensions before confirming the scope.
23Can the dimensions of a displayed design be changed?
Custom dimensions can be discussed according to the design and construction. Some changes affect balance, appearance and cost, so they require fresh approval before production.
24Can wood colours or upholstery fabrics be changed?
Discuss available colours and fabrics for your chosen design. Approve a physical sample or clear reference, as screen images and lighting cannot guarantee an exact colour match.
25What is the difference between classic, neoclassical and modern furniture?
Classic furniture tends to feature carving and ornamentation. Neoclassical simplifies classic details. Modern furniture focuses on simpler lines and function. Choose according to space, use and the room’s other features.
26What information is needed for custom furniture?
Prepare reference images, dimensions, quantities, each piece’s function, preferred materials and colours, and delivery city. For several rooms, include a plan and door and window positions.
27How do I measure a room before ordering furniture?
Record length, width, height and the positions of doors, windows, columns and projections. Include clear photographs and door-opening directions, and discuss any dimensions requiring final site measurement.
28Should entrances and stairs be measured before manufacturing?
Yes. Measure doorways, lifts, stairs and turns on the access route. The piece may need to be divided or assembled differently to allow transport and installation.
29Can a design be changed after production starts?
It depends on the production stage and completed work. Request a written review of the change and its effect on cost and timing before approval, rather than assuming all changes are possible without extra cost.
30How do I keep colours consistent across rooms?
Approve one reference for colours, materials and finishes, numbering samples when several rooms are involved. Consider natural wood grain variation and the effect of lighting.
Bedrooms, wardrobes and storage 10 questions
31What does a complete bedroom include?
Components vary by quotation and may include a bed, wardrobe, dressing table, bedside tables and other requested pieces. Ask for a furniture list and dimensions, and confirm whether the mattress and accessories are included or separate.
32How do I choose a bed size?
Consider the number of users, room dimensions and circulation space. Distinguish mattress dimensions from the bed’s external dimensions, especially with decorative headboards and frames.
33Are the bed’s external dimensions the same as the mattress?
Usually not. The frame, headboard and footboard can increase the overall size. Request both the correct mattress size and total bed dimensions before approving the room layout.
34How do I choose a wardrobe for a small bedroom?
Start with available space and clothing and storage requirements. Compare hinged and sliding doors according to opening space, and review wardrobe depth, internal sections and shelf accessibility.
35Are sliding wardrobes better than hinged wardrobes?
Sliding doors need less opening space in front of the wardrobe. Hinged doors may allow wider access, depending on the design. Choose according to the room, hardware quality, ease of use and maintenance.
36How do I plan wardrobe interiors?
List your requirements for long and short hanging space, shelves, drawers and bags. Approve a dimensioned internal drawing rather than relying only on the exterior photograph.
37Can a dressing room be designed to fit my space?
Custom storage units and internal layouts can be discussed within the agreed scope. Accurate dimensions, door openings, lighting and storage requirements are needed before design.
38What should I check in drawers and hinges?
Test smooth movement, alignment, secure handles and hardware suited to the door or drawer size. Specify the accessories and maintenance arrangements in the agreement.
39Is a storage bed suitable for every bedroom?
It may help when extra storage is needed, but consider access, the opening mechanism and ventilation. Confirm that the mechanism and dimensions suit the mattress and intended use.
40What should I inspect when my bedroom furniture arrives?
Check piece counts, dimensions, finishes, bed stability, wardrobe doors, drawers and mirrors. Record and photograph differences from the specifications before confirming complete acceptance.
Dining rooms, tables and chairs 10 questions
41How do I decide the number of dining chairs?
Start with regular users and the space around the table, then consider guests. Do not rely on the advertised seating capacity without reviewing table and chair dimensions and space to pull chairs out.
42Is a round or rectangular dining table better?
Round tables suit some spaces and encourage conversation, while rectangular tables fit many long rooms. Compare actual dimensions, circulation routes and seating needs rather than shape alone.
43How do I know whether a dining set fits the room?
Draw the table, chairs and sideboard layout, allowing room to pull out chairs and walk past. Consider door and drawer openings, rather than comparing only table size with room size.
44Can a dining table be made for a large number of people?
A table and chairs can be discussed according to seating capacity and required dimensions. Large tables need review of stability, leg placement, room space and the transport route.
45Can you manufacture extending tables?
Send the design and extension mechanism you require to ask about feasibility and availability. Specify closed and extended dimensions, materials, accessories, operation and maintenance.
46How do I choose a comfortable dining chair?
Try seat height, depth and backrest angle, and confirm compatibility with the table height. Review arm clearance, upholstery and frame stability for daily use.
47What is the difference between a sideboard and a display cabinet?
A sideboard is generally used for storage and serving and may have a mirror above it. A display cabinet often presents crockery behind glass. Compartments can be discussed according to your needs, with included pieces specified in the order.
48How do I choose dining chair fabric?
Compare ease of cleaning, fabric durability and care instructions, especially for daily use. Do not assume stain resistance without a clear supplier specification.
49How do I protect a dining table from heat and water?
Use suitable trivets and coasters and dry spills promptly. Follow care instructions for the finish and avoid direct heat or objects that could scratch the surface.
50What should I inspect when a dining set is delivered?
Check table and chair stability, a level tabletop, drawer and door operation, quantities and finishes. Test any extension mechanism according to its instructions before final acceptance.
Salons, sofas, corner sofas and reception rooms 10 questions
51What is the difference between a classic salon and a sofa suite?
A classic salon is usually associated with formal reception and classic styling, while a sofa suite often suits daily use and a wider range of designs. Comfort and a formal appearance can be combined through the frame, dimensions and upholstery.
52How do I choose a sofa for everyday use?
Review seat height and depth, back support, frame stability, filling and fabric. Trying the seat and reviewing specifications matter more than judging photographs alone.
53How do I specify a left-hand or right-hand corner sofa?
Send a plan or image showing the long section, television and doors. Left and right can be interpreted differently depending on viewing position, so approve a clear drawing before production.
54Can a corner sofa be made to custom dimensions?
Custom dimensions can be discussed according to the model and space. Define side lengths, seat depth, module count and access into the room before approving the design.
55Is a corner sofa better than two sofas?
A corner sofa can use a corner and bring seating together. Two sofas can offer more flexible layouts in some rooms. Choose according to entrances, circulation space, users and future rearrangement.
56What is the difference between foam density and firmness?
Density describes foam mass relative to volume, while firmness describes resistance to compression. One number alone does not determine comfort. Review the seat construction, filling layers and intended use.
57Is light-coloured fabric suitable for a home with children?
It depends on the fabric, cleaning instructions and use. Choose a material you can care for practically, and discuss removable covers if they are part of the design.
58How do I choose a classic salon without overcrowding a room?
Balance piece size and carving detail with the room, and reduce extra furniture if it obstructs movement. Check actual dimensions rather than relying on photographs taken in larger halls.
59How do I coordinate sofas with curtains and rugs?
Gather fabric samples and photographs of existing colours under the room’s lighting. Choose complementary tones rather than matching every element exactly, and approve upholstery samples before production.
60What should I inspect when sofas or a salon suite arrive?
Check frame stability, stitching, fabric tension, even cushions and legs, and compare dimensions and colour with the specification and sample. Test the seating and record clear differences or unusual noises.
Palace, villa, hotel and restaurant furnishing 10 questions
61Does Two Brothers furnish palaces and villas?
Yes. The factory discusses palace and villa furniture according to dimensions and design. The order includes the rooms, pieces, doors and kitchens approved within the project scope.
62Does palace furnishing include architectural finishing?
Furniture furnishing does not automatically include construction, electrical work, plumbing or architectural paintwork. Request a detailed work list showing what the factory supplies and what requires a contractor or another provider.
63What information is needed for a palace or villa quotation?
Send floor plans, room and furniture lists, reference photos, required materials and delivery city. Include production priorities, target dates and any approved interior designer drawings.
64How do I coordinate furniture across several palace halls?
Approve a shared palette of colours, materials and finishes while considering each hall’s function. Individual pieces can vary while maintaining features that connect the rooms.
65Can classic and modern furniture be combined in one villa?
Yes, when transitions, colours and materials are considered carefully. Define each room’s style and relationship to neighbouring spaces rather than combining pieces at random.
66Can a project be delivered in stages?
The furniture scope can be divided by rooms and usage priorities. Request a clear schedule for each phase and material and colour references to reduce variation between batches.
67Does the factory supply hotel furniture?
Two Brothers offers hotel furnishing. Prepare room quantities and categories, designs, usage requirements and a supply schedule to discuss the production scope.
68How do hotel furniture specifications differ from home furniture?
Hospitality use may require greater durability, easier cleaning and maintenance, and replaceable components. Technical and operational requirements are defined for each project. Confirm availability of any required certifications before approving materials.
69Does the factory manufacture restaurant and café furniture?
Tables, chairs and other restaurant and café furniture can be discussed. Send seating plans, quantities, dimensions and usage conditions, specifying whether the pieces are for indoor or outdoor use.
70Is all restaurant furniture suitable for outdoor use?
No. Indoor furniture may be damaged by sun, rain and humidity. Outdoor use requires suitable materials, finishes and hardware. Confirm availability and specifications before ordering.
Doors, kitchens and woodwork 10 questions
71Can wooden doors be made to size?
Doors can be discussed according to design and dimensions. Specify opening, frame and leaf dimensions, opening direction, materials, hardware and finish.
72How does a doorway opening size differ from a door leaf size?
The building opening includes space for the frame and fitting, while the leaf is the moving part. Do not order from a single measurement without reviewing the frame and final finish details.
73When should final door measurements be taken?
Coordinate measurement with the condition of floors, walls and finishes around the opening. Ask the installation lead what must be completed before dimensions are approved.
74How do I specify a door’s opening direction?
Draw the leaf movement, hinge location and viewing position relative to the room. Include a photograph or plan to avoid different interpretations of left and right.
75Can an interior door be used outside?
Not necessarily. Doors exposed to sun or water need specifications suited to outdoor conditions. Explain the location, security and insulation needs, and confirm suitable materials and finishes.
76Can door colours match home furniture?
A shared colour and finish sample can be discussed. Consider differences in timber, grain and lighting, as the same colour name does not guarantee an identical appearance across materials.
77Does the factory offer custom kitchens?
Two Brothers offers made-to-measure kitchens. Discuss cabinet and front materials, accessories and installation scope. Do not assume appliances or worktops are included unless listed in the quotation.
78What information is needed to design a kitchen?
Send room dimensions and water, drainage, electricity, gas, ventilation, door and window locations. Include appliance sizes, proposed positions and storage requirements before approving cabinets.
79How do I choose durable kitchen materials?
Identify wet and hot areas and usage intensity, then compare cabinet, front, edge and hardware materials. Request care instructions and confirm suitable protection around the sink and moisture sources.
80Can you make custom bookcases, consoles or wooden pieces?
Send drawings or photographs, dimensions and required materials to discuss feasibility. Special work is included after design review; do not assume every type of woodwork is available without confirmation.
Dealers, showrooms and wholesale orders 10 questions
81Does Two Brothers sell furniture wholesale?
The factory accepts manufacturing and supply orders from dealers and furniture showrooms. Quotations depend on designs, specifications, quantities and delivery destination, rather than the label ‘wholesale’ alone.
82Is there a minimum trade order?
Contact us with your required designs and quantities to confirm current order terms. Do not assume one minimum applies to every product; requirements may vary by design, materials and quantity.
83How can a dealer obtain an accurate quotation?
Send a schedule of designs, quantities, dimensions, timber, finishes, upholstery and required dates. Specify country, city and required services so manufacturing can be separated from transport and shipping.
84Can you supply furniture for a new showroom?
A collection can be discussed according to target customers, showroom space and budget. Start with designs, quantities and delivery priorities rather than many photographs without specifications.
85Can the same design be reordered later?
Repeat manufacturing can be discussed. Keep the design code, dimensions and approved colour and fabric samples. Confirm material and accessory availability when reordering rather than assuming permanent availability.
86How do I reduce quality variation between batches?
Use one specification and approved reference for each model, reviewing colour samples, accessories and measurements. Agree on checks before shipping and how any differences will be documented.
87Can a sample be approved before bulk production?
Discuss whether a sample or prototype is needed, its cost and timing, and how it represents the final specification. Do not begin a large batch with details that have not been clearly approved.
88Can furniture be supplied without upholstery or finishing?
Specify the production stage you need to discuss availability. Distinguish a frame, an assembled piece and unfinished furniture, and document what is included and what the dealer will complete.
89Can an order carry the showroom’s branding?
Ask about branded labels, packaging or information, and confirm approvals, cost and requirements before agreement. Do not assume private-label service is available for every order.
90How do I organise an order with several designs and finishes?
Assign a code to every design and finish, and record quantity, size and colour in one schedule. Include reference images and samples, and approve a final version to avoid mixing pieces and batches.
Furniture exports, packaging and international shipping 10 questions
91Does Two Brothers export furniture outside Egypt?
Yes. The factory offers export services and states that its products have reached 11 countries. Discuss destination, shipping, packaging and delivery requirements before confirming the agreement.
92Can I order from the factory while outside Egypt?
Send plans, photographs, dimensions and furniture lists remotely. Request specifications, reference samples and a clear process for approving details and reviewing production before shipping.
93Does the furniture price include international shipping?
Do not assume so. Manufacturing may be quoted separately from packaging, freight, insurance and other services. Request itemised charges and clarify where shipment responsibility transfers in the quotation and agreement.
94What determines the cost of shipping furniture overseas?
Destination, shipment volume and weight, packaging, transport method and delivery route affect cost. Include loading, unloading and any additional services when comparing freight quotations.
95How do I choose suitable export packaging?
Discuss transport method, distance, delicate finishes, glass and projecting parts. Request details of packaging materials, corner protection, securing and numbering, and confirm any import requirements relating to packaging.
96Why use packing lists and numbered pieces?
A packing list links each box or package to its furniture piece, room, code and quantity. It helps inventory checks, delivery, installation and recording shortages, especially for multi-room orders.
97Who pays customs duties and taxes at the destination?
This depends on the agreed sale and shipping terms and included services. Ask the destination carrier or clearance agent for clarification. Do not assume these charges are included without clear wording.
98Can the shipment arrival date be guaranteed when manufacturing starts?
Manufacturing time is separate from shipping, customs clearance and final delivery. Request an estimate for each stage and relevant uncertainties, then confirm the schedule when freight is booked.
99Is furniture shipping insured?
Ask whether insurance is available for your specific order, including coverage, limits, exclusions and claim procedures. Good packaging does not automatically mean transport is insured.
100What should I do if a shipment arrives damaged or incomplete?
Photograph packaging and furniture condition, count the pieces and record observations at delivery. Contact the responsible party under the agreement and carrier or insurance terms, keeping invoices and the packing list.
Pricing, ordering, manufacturing, delivery and warranty 10 questions
101Why is there no fixed price for every furniture photograph?
Price may vary with dimensions, timber, carving, upholstery, finishing and quantity. Request a quotation for your specifications, because similar photographs do not mean identical construction or cost.
102How do I compare two quotations for the same design?
Compare the same quantities, dimensions, materials, finishes, hardware, warranty and delivery scope. Separate manufacturing, packaging, transport and installation to make actual differences clear.
103Are site visits, design and transport included in the price?
The quotation should state this. Ask about each service and whether it is included or separate. Avoid vague verbal arrangements where several parties or stages are involved.
104What payment methods and deposit are available?
Contact the factory to confirm payment methods, deposit and payment schedule for your order. Request official collection details and a receipt linked to the specification or order number.
105Can furniture be paid for in instalments?
Ask directly whether instalment options are currently available and about their terms and costs. This page does not advertise an instalment programme or constitute financing approval.
106How long does furniture manufacturing take?
Timing varies by design, details, quantity and the production schedule. The factory publishes indicative times for some bedrooms and salons, but the confirmed date is the one written for your order, separate from transport.
107Can a custom-made order be cancelled or returned?
Review the written cancellation and return policy before paying a deposit, especially for custom orders or after production begins. Ask how the production stage affects costs and eligibility rather than assuming one policy covers every case.
108What warranty does Two Brothers advertise?
The factory advertises a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Request written conditions, the responsible service provider, coverage, exclusions and transport or service arrangements outside Egypt.
109Does the manufacturing-defect warranty cover misuse?
Do not treat ‘manufacturing defects’ as coverage for every type of damage, wear, storage or transport condition. Ask about included cases, exclusions, inspection and remedies for the specific product.
110How should I organise home delivery and installation?
Confirm timing and responsibility for loading, lifting and installation, and prepare access, the room and furniture layout. Check quantities, specifications, finishes, doors and drawers, recording observations before final acceptance.
Furniture cleaning, care, storage and maintenance 10 questions
111How should I clean wooden furniture daily?
Dust with a soft, dry cloth and follow the finish’s instructions for additional cleaning. Avoid soaking, harsh cleaners and abrasive rubbing. Test suitable products on an inconspicuous area first.
112Is furniture polish suitable for every finish?
No. Suitability varies with paint, gilding and surface type. Use a product recommended by the finish specialist. Do not mix cleaners or apply one general recipe to all furniture.
113How should I handle a stain on sofa fabric?
Check the fabric instructions and gently blot liquids without vigorous rubbing. Avoid solvents or large amounts of water unless you know the suitable method, and consult a specialist for delicate stains.
114How do I care for gilded or carved furniture?
Use a very soft brush or suitable cloth to remove dust gently from details. Avoid abrasives and unapproved chemicals, and ask for care instructions specific to the gilding and finish.
115Can direct sunlight affect furniture?
Prolonged exposure may change some timber, paint and fabric colours. Reduce direct sunlight according to the material, maintain ventilation and avoid intense heat sources.
116How do I maintain cushions and seats?
Follow upholstery instructions for rearranging or rotating cushions where permitted, and distribute use between seats. Do not remove or wash covers unless designed for it and supported by clear instructions.
117How do I move furniture without damaging it?
Empty drawers and cabinets, secure moving parts and protect corners and surfaces. Lift appropriately instead of dragging, and use a technician for components requiring skilled disassembly and reassembly.
118How should furniture be stored long term?
Choose a dry, ventilated place away from moisture and sunlight, with suitable covering that does not trap damp. Raise pieces off the floor when needed, inspect periodically and do not stack weight on weak parts.
119What should I do if a chair or bed becomes loose or noisy?
Stop using an unstable piece and identify the issue without random disassembly or additional loading. Contact the factory or a qualified technician to inspect assembly and joints and review service terms.
120Can old furniture be reupholstered or refinished?
It may be possible depending on the frame, material and original construction. Send clear photographs to a specialist for assessment, pricing and scope, and confirm whether the factory offers the service before transporting the piece.
Have a question about your project or furniture specifications?
Send dimensions, photographs, required pieces and your delivery city to discuss feasibility and a quotation.
