second hand

[eezergood]

Looking for a shop that sells second hand furniture or a reasonable priced new place. I only want a simple table & chairs for the balcony, folding would be best. Any suggestions"?

Wood, plastic or steel?

Best to search bahtsold or craigslist as the 2nd hand shops seem to sell stuff for the same price as new unless it's something in really sad shape.
You can find deals on the want ads.
I think even thai visa has a section for classifieds.

You can buy the cheap plastic stuff at SuperCheap, it doubles as folding furniture if you weigh over 100kg.

Tried the bahtsold/craiglist route already & nothing.

I would like wood or steel, no plastic

If you use Facebook there is a group (or two) on there advertising stuf for sale on Phuket. Many differing items. Have a look.

I guess the OP is based in Patong (from his posts). There are no furniture shops (new or second hand) in Patong. Quite honestly forget the second hand places, years ago I checked out the second hand places in Chalong, all rubbish and charging near new prices. You need to get over to Phuket Town, I use places like Bird (Choafa East, before you get ino Phuket Town, just opposite the big PTT gas station. Another place is on bypass, before/opposite the big Lotus. Next to/just before the Esso gas station, can't remember the name just at this moment.

The main supercheap store has very reasonably priced outdooor settings in wood and aluminium, probably plastic to if thats what you want

They sell a large range of furniture and mattresses there some good and some rubbish

Best to go go early in the morning before it gets hot, they open at 6am

Location is not so important as I have a car - but yes based in Patong

Will look at the weekend in supercheap, dont want to spend a fortune as we will be moving in a year to a year and half

there's a good second hand place near the bus station, but on the other side (supercheap side), about 200m on the town (south) side of supercheap.

"i'm useless with facebook" - a loss of "face" in Thailand is a serious thing. :)
