There are many different countries that make "cheap" furniture. Many of them are in Asia but Mexico and Eastern Europe are also potential sources. So is the U.S.
Finding a good and reliable source is only the first challenge you will face.
The process of selling "cheap" furniture online may sound simple, but there are many potential problems.
A single container of defective product can put a small start-up out of business.
Shipping cheap products to your customers is another potential minefield.
Items that survived an ocean excursion in a container may not survive the much shorter (but more brutal) trip in a UPS or Fed Ex truck.
Also, you need to take into consideration that major online retailers like Amazon and Wayfair have probably negotiated shipping rates that are at least 50% lower than than you can get.
