Furniture wholesalers in Turkey: Istanbul, Izmir, Bursa are the major sellers

What is a Furniture Wholesaler? A furniture wholesaler buys products from manufacturers or importers and sells them in bulk to furniture stores, retailers, decorators, project offices, hotels, offices, and villa projects. They maintain their own warehouses and often operate with showrooms. These wholesalers can be an important gateway for those looking to connect directly with manufacturers.   LARGE FURNITURE WHOLESALER AREAS IN ISTANBULIstanbul has the largest furniture wholesale market in Turkey.
