    Cheap office furniture

    Does anyone have recommendations for buying cheap office furniture? Nothing fancy or designed - certainly don't need a curvy aesthetic Danish designed desk for a low budget startup - but would prefer new over second hand.

    Any shop recommendations?

    Walk around TinHau. There are a few shops around that look like this (the one next to the PPines product store) :

    Just a bit further down in Tsing Fung Street there is another 1 or 2 shops selling 2nd hand office furniture also.

    Thanks! Am going to CWB anyways today so will check out Tin Hau, and also Shinway - it seems they have a CWB store too. Am happy to pay for furniture, but just wanted some simple designs and nothing fancy.

    Thanks.

    - some nice restaurants in that Tin Hau area I'd like to try! Was surprised to find the second hand furniture not much cheaper than IKEA though, and likewise with Shinway (although they admittedly have lots of choice). In the end had to settle with supporting the Swedish economy (again), as they could deliver with less lead time, take credit card, and charged less for delivery and product.

    Am quite surprised, actually.

    if you want cheap as possible, mostly free, check the other hk asia expat classified under free section, a lot of furniture for free, some are decent, some are even high quality

    BTW, any cheaper than ikea, a lot of the low quality and cheapo furniture have quality issue and significantly lack of durability over short period over time
