Back Home Furniture

Some things look so simple but they're expensive because they're made by a famous designer. I think the right people in China could cheaply make a good replica with quality material, saving lots if it's all shipped home in the one container. Anyone have experience in this field?

Making cheap replica's is what China does.

This is one of the reasons that good American manufacturing jobs have moved overseas. Spurred on by US government deregulation of the last 30 years, and the tax avoidance of capitalists.

Replica's, unless it is by the designer, can become patent infringement, and subject to Patent law enforcement.

I like antique furniture

I did this (to Europe anyway) twice. The first time from Narai Phand, the large government owned souvenir shop opposite Central World. They have a furniture department on the top floor (if they did not change the floor since). They also have a limited antique collection. (But I wonder what you mean by 'antique' in Thailand.)

The second time from a store (factory) outside Chiang Mai, called "Tusnaporn". It is the one where taxi- or tuk-tuk-drivers normally take you. They get a commission, but the shop is reliable nevertheless. You can bargain between 10 and 20%, I guess.

In both cases I bought large pieces of furniture (see the page I refer to) and the cost of shipping (plus the yax in my country) was roughly the same as the price for the furniture.
In other words, reckon with twice the price for the furniture.

The items arrived at my home in excellent condition, without the smallest scratch, also inj both cases.
So I believe it is safe to order furniture from firms that have to lose a name, but transport comes with a price.

In both cases the transport (by ship) from Bangkok to Rotterdam took six weeks.

Another word about 'antique'. Should you consider to buy large antique Buddha images, like they sell in River City Shopping Center in Bangkok, you should realize that no Temple ever will sell or give away its Buddha images. Hence the ones you buy in antique stores are - without exception - stolen from Temples in the past. So, if you like to own stolen goods, buy them. If you want this stealing to stop, don't buy them.

Should the window be in front of me? to my right/left?

It should face the wall..if it faces the window you will be looking at the sun against a screen that is bright..your eyes will regret it...have the back of the screen facing the wall so you can have the blinds open in the morning while catchhing up on e mail etctera while having your tea or coffee..You will have to keep the blinds closed with it against the window

Price: $49.95

Reduces hand and forearm strain
Reduces strain and risk of injury to the low back
Makes moving large/bulky objects much easier

I'm just wondering if people have actually cut back on buying furniture and home decor goods these days or is the bad economy really a hype.

The economy is bad. Unemployment is at an all time high, and things are going to get a lot worse. I don't think furniture and decor, though, are barometers for the economy. I'm certain a lot of people are "making due" with whatever they have. If someone can afford new furniture and had planned on purchasing it, I think they will probably go ahead and get it.

Brother-in-law is taking furniture back home on his tractor trailer and I was wondering if pallet jacks lifted high enough off the ground to get this furniture into the bed of the semi? If not, any suggestions?
