A bouclé outdoor sectional paired with a marble coffee table reads as one piece on a terrace, but it is quoted as several: upholstery, cushion filling, frame and finish, stone slab, base structure, dimensions and packing. Send us only the sofa photograph and we can only guess at half of it. The list below is what our quotation team works from on enquiries for the Bouclé Fabric Outdoor Sectional Sofa Set with Marble Coffee Table, and it applies just as well to the matching Marble Top Outdoor Dining Set with Bouclé Dining Chairs and the Curved Outdoor Sofa Set with Marble Coffee Table, Hospitality Patio Lounge. Send it in one message and you usually get a workable quotation back on the same day rather than after three rounds of clarifying questions.

1. Where the set will actually sit

Tell us the setting first: pool deck, shaded terrace, rooftop, resort garden or a covered verandah. Our outdoor bouclé sets use performance fabric described as withstanding sun and moisture, and frames finished with anti-rust powder coating — that is our own specification, stated on the product page, not an independent weather test report. Exposure still changes what we recommend. A west-facing pool deck with no overhead structure gets a different fabric and filling specification from a loggia that stays dry through summer. If your project has a local standard or a specifier's schedule to meet, send it with the enquiry; we will confirm in writing which parts of our specification answer it before production starts.

Practical point: include a site photograph or the landscape drawing, and say whether the set will be left out overnight. It changes fabric and filling choices more than any other single detail.

2. Configuration and dimensions

Sectionals are not one size. For an enquiry we need the number of seats and modules, whether you want a corner unit or a straight run, the overall length you have available, and seat depth if your design is fixed around a coffee table position. Our standard configuration for this style covers a sofa with armchairs plus the marble top table; custom dimensions are supported for hospitality enquiries. If the layout has to fit between existing planters, balustrades or columns, send those measurements — a centimetre of overshoot at the corner module is the most common reason a first drawing goes back for revision.

3. Fabric, colour and cushion filling

Bouclé comes in a range of pile heights and base tones, and the sample you saw at a showroom may not be the roll we produce from. Send the fabric reference or a photograph of the sample with the colour code, and tell us whether the cushions are loose or fixed. For hotel and resort work, mention expected daily use — a poolside lounge that runs from breakfast to evening service is treated differently from a private villa terrace used a few evenings a week. We support custom upholstery for bulk orders, so an interior designer's fabric schedule can be quoted directly.

4. Marble top: species, thickness and base

This is where quotations diverge most, because "marble top" covers several different builds. Specify the stone type and colour, slab thickness, whether the top is a full round or has an edge profile, and whether you want the stone on a metal pedestal frame or another base. Natural marble varies between slabs; we match against the reference you send rather than promising a uniform tone across twenty tables. If your project needs the top to sit at a particular height to suit the sofa seat, say so in the same message — table height and stone thickness are decided together.

5. Quantity, location and delivery terms

Unit count drives price more than any cosmetic choice, and it decides whether we produce to your specification or offer an existing configuration. Along with quantity, send the delivery city, whether the goods go to a site, a warehouse or a designer's consolidator, and your preferred Incoterms. As a one-stop project furnishing supplier we arrange sea, air and rail freight with customs paperwork and door-to-door delivery, so tell us how far you want the service to extend and we will price that scope rather than guess at it.

6. Drawings, samples and approval steps

If you have a dimensioned drawing, a mood board or a competitor's specification sheet, attach it — a reference product is often faster to quote from than a written brief. Sample swatches of fabric and stone can be arranged before the full order for hospitality work. Our cooperation steps run project brief and design proposal, then quotation and detail confirmation, then production, shipment and follow-up, so the details above are what turn step one into a priced proposal instead of an estimate.

A short checklist to paste into your enquiry

• Setting and exposure: pool deck, terrace, rooftop or covered area; left out overnight or not
• Configuration: number of modules and seats, overall length available, corner or straight run
• Upholstery: bouclé reference or sample photograph, colour, loose or fixed cushions
• Table: marble type and colour, thickness, edge profile, base structure, top height
• Quantity, delivery city, Incoterms, target on-site date
• Any specifier schedule or local standard the set must answer to
