Vit42 Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 "chic and cheap" are relative terms so it might be better for referrals to understand your definition and budget. I too prefer modern, contemporary with sleek lines, like much of the designs from Italy. I'm also unwilling to pay import prices but want the same style and quality. If you're interested, check out where I shop, UOMO. He's a thai designer who's trained in Italy and has his own showroom (see contact info below) where he builds (not imports) his own furniture. He also is an interior designer if you need help there too. Other points, he's very professional, speaks English well, and can point you to some other stores that can provide accessories like lighting and so forth. PM me if you want a copy of the catalog. His name is Pop and let him know that Vit sent you! SC Park Hotel 474 Praditmanutham Road, Wangthonglang, Bangkok 10310 Tel. 02 934 4940-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Boy Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 (edited) I would'nt call index cheap, been out and about lookin to buy a 3 piece leather suite today, and all there leather furniture is double the price of furniture from all the other shops in MBK.. Dont get me started on lazyboy either, what a fookin rip off, 53k for a shitty 3 seater re-cliner that looks like the 3 seperate pieces that make it up will fall to bits after a week or so not to mention the 1 month wait for delivery.. A girl in another shop offered 51k for 2 single seat recliners and a 3 seat sofa, which were twice as comfy and well made as teh lazyboys Edited April 23, 2005 by Joey Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Jarvis Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 MBK, 5th floor has about 75 furniture shops. World Trade has a similar area. A street in Bang Po has dozens of woodshops and can they custom make also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armortec Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I'm planning to go bangkok to shop for furniture also, can you share your experience? is it worth to ship back to singapore? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I just had a catalog from one of the shops in seacon square. You can check the prices and decide if it is worth the hassle. There are a few wardrobe specialists with great fixtures and workmanship too, the scale and manner they present the products are great, something that is missing in Singapore.

j634 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 The podium is not bad. Most of their stuff is real wood. So you will pay a little more. Website www.podium.co.th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
