Hi All,
i am in need to buy some wooden furniture. i checked in
internet and found that IKEA will open store in HCMC in 2015. so,
presently, is there any IKEA-type furniture store here? i want to get
good quality wood. i have seen some furniture stores in my neighborhood,
but they are all old fashioned. please suggest...
thanks.

The IKEA outlets in this part of the world are actually franchises owned
by the same Malaysian company that owns the Giants supermarket tat has
just opened.
Most Vietnamese furniture seems to be designed for
people with short legs and the more classical furniture designed for
short fat people with rear ends that can sit for hours on wood.
The
reason that hard wood, composite 'wood' and steel are so popular is
because the local bugs hereabouts have a voracious appetite for softer
wood.
I frequently have my utility furniture custom made from
stainless steel (Inox). For example, a work table 5 feet by 3 feet with
removable legs and a top frame with inset of 1 cm thick composite cost
me VND260,000.
I often rummage around Ikea web sites for ideas them have the local, very skilled, craftsmen replicate them in stainless.
