    I used them 4 years ago and prices were good then but location was a bit of a pig to find being in the middle of an industrial estate.
    Ran by an expat couple.

    i visited them a very long time ago... maybe 4-5 years ago. i agree, it's a bit of a pain to find. when i visited it was an overseas chinese woman running it, though...

    i found that it was so full of stuff it was difficult to get a good look at the stuff. the prices were ok...not fantastic and some of the stuff on their website was buried under piles of other stuff, so couldn't see them at all...

    Yes a Chinese overseas woman and her Western husband runs it who lives in the Saikung Area.
    Not sure on prices now but I did negotiate nearly 1/2 price when I bought a yew wood coffee table.

    i gotta say, i think they have one of the worst websites ever...

    (1) when you select a page, it doesn't highlight what page # you are currently on
    (2) if you check their "kitchen" section, you will see bedside tables, coffee tables, chaise longe, beds, sofas.....

    Yes I have and loved it. We have purchased the most incredible furniture. Love it and we keep going back eyeing up stuff that we want. The website does not do it justice but at least there are not hoards of people there when you go looking. The taxi's always seem to know where to go. That is our experience and I will keep going back to look and shop.

    thanks patrice! we were dithering but you've pushed us over the edge!

    and Carang they do have the worst-est websight ever! (sic!)

    a million pages!

    to be honest somewhere without hordes of people sounds great!

    even if it means a 40 min ride for us!

    I decided to check this place out too!

    actually the guy running the place was pretty nice..

    its a shame that we didnt need tables and cupboards/ shelves as they had a good selection!

    didnt find the couch we wanted tho - wished we had a bigger place and then it might have happened!

    ( they did have quite a few rooms - some were showrooms but some were store rooms which were packed to the rafters! ) they did pull a few suggestions out for us whilst we browsed the 2 showrooms..

    actually I mentioned the web site and he said they were redoing it... but best bet was to skip to the last page and go backwards..

    a bit of a trek but you might find what you need - and the offer of free delivery and set up was tempting...
