oldsailor35 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Where can i buy a swivel seat on Samui. Have had two from Big C but the bottom legs break after a while, just cheap plastic hollow moulds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusG Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I got one from Fern furniture, which is in Nathon, on the ring road, before you get into the town, coming from Lamai. They have 2 shops on both sides of the road opposite each other. It actually has metal legs, and I've had it at least 3 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt111 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Unfortunately they're all crap winter/welcome/index/etc.., just varying degrees, expect to replace them every 12 months (vs something basic in the UK from staples/viking-direct/office-world that would easily last 5 yrs at same price). The best I've had (and still crap), build wise - metal base - and service wise, was from the massive shop Roo refers to between Big C and Makro, its on its last legs now (Euro something was the vendor and they did replace the wheels from bkk though after some arguing and agreement to pay delivery cost) infact probably replace this week too..

samuijimmy Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 This one I got from Home Pro, 5 or maybe 6 years ago now.... it really has stood the test of time.... If I remember 1500 baht... Don't bother with the black vinyl cover ones at Index etc, the will fall apart in no time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesandmartin Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 +1 here on the don't bother with Index, no quality no warranty 'must go Bangkok you pay there and back' after flimsy plastic base collapsed Warning on HomePro, our replacement for above was a 'Special Promotion' with a more substantial looking frame, I say 'looking' because it collapsed after 9months only to be greeted with 'No warranty promotion price' so beware the special offers if you expect guarantee. Only lasting but quality solution was to buy one at Ikea Bangkok and bring it back, fabulous comfort and designed for purpose.

evadgib Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Having broken more chairs than Goldilocks's dad I reluctantly reverted to a normal 4 legged chair. I haven't managed to break it yet but it isn't doing my back any good HTH Edited July 15, 2014 by evadgib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsailor35 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 OK Thanks all, seems i am not Robinson Crueso regarding broken seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 OK Thanks all, seems i am not Robinson Crueso regarding broken seats. No !.... just the latest casualty of someone falling out of their chair! I did get a refund for something at Home Pro, once.... cannot remember what it was now, but think I had to speak with one of the managers... It's not one of my favorite shops to go to, I hate staff walking two steps behind me, when I am "just looking"! But they are good for a few things!

oldsailor35 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Hi all, thanks for the leads, but nothing there to suit. I took Samuijimmy for a drive this afternoon and found exactly what i am looking for. On the ring road between Naton and Donmuaeng there is a very large furniture shop on the r/h side heading to Lamai. We stopped and had a look inside. They have got a very large display of swivel chairs ranging from BHT 2000 up to around BHT 15000. So many in fact that it was very hard to pick the one i wanted. If anyone goes shopping i advise them to take Jimmy, apparently he loves to bargain, and believe me, he proved to be very good at it.
