Very low. The furniture business is extremely competive. Shipping costs are high. Also to import directly from China to the US takes 2-3 months to process and recieve the transaction. Plus the minimum up front investment (order) is going to cost you a minimum of 20,000 cash. Twenty-thousand is the average cost per container shipped to the US from China. Finally, oriental designs really do not sell very well. People still like beige or black leather sofas. Cherry or Oak Tables. The basics sell best.

Well, almost everything's available online now, even furniture. I can't imagine many people buying chairs or couches online though. Tables, desks, bookshelves, screens, etc. would all be fantastic though.
