Rayleigh 6th Gear July 22, 2008 Share July 22, 2008 (edited) Hi MCF bros, anyone knows of any furniture shop selling teak wood furniture to recommend? I'm thinking of buying a TV console, dining table and cabinets. I only know of 2 shops - located at Thomson plaza and railway mall.

Paikia_rav Neutral Newbie July 22, 2008 Share July 22, 2008 For cheap teak wood furni, try wihardja. Although the quality is nowhere near Barang or P&R, some are quite nice. http://www.wihardja.com.sg/ Else, look out for regular warehouse sale at Barang Barang. Some deals are good at almost 50% off or lower. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spikedoll Clutched July 22, 2008 Share July 22, 2008 (edited) wihardja is cheap but open only during sales period.But one thing I dun like hor is must self collect or they charge delivery as per % of overall bill.... quality is slightly below avg... but like their nice balinese style teak furnitures..I bought one from their Ubi branch..collected at Senoko warehouse. P&R reasonably priced..bought bedroom set & sofa set from them..good cust svc @ mandai.. Edited July 22, 2008 by Spikedoll Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisces69 6th Gear July 22, 2008 Share July 22, 2008 Hi MCF bros, anyone knows of any furniture shop selling teak wood furniture to recommend? I'm thinking of buying a TV console, dining table and cabinets. I only know of 2 shops - located at Thomson plaza and railway mall. ==================== Have u tried ScanTeak? Note some r selling teak ply only & not solid teak. B careful. Most teak u get now is Dutch teak from Indo. Very hard to find Burmese teak which is a better quality. I went to Xtra in JB & there is a shop at the end of the building which sells teak at much lower prices than what u pay in SG & they wil deliver to SG for a small fee. Teak is very solid & heavy & prob last longer than you even. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayleigh 6th Gear July 22, 2008 Author Share July 22, 2008 I went to Barang Barand and Picket & Rail too. BTW, where is the Xtra you mention? I may probably visit them this week. My budget is around 1K per piece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear July 22, 2008 Share July 22, 2008 It's in JB. Just get on Jln WAF & go straight all the way for about 10-15 mins & u wil come to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accentrix Neutral Newbie July 22, 2008 Share July 22, 2008 (edited) www.thehelpinghand.org.sg/ Try Helping Hands along Serangoon Road. Recently bought a teak 2 seater, 2 armchairs and a coffee table for less than 1K. Edited July 22, 2008 by Accentrix Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear July 22, 2008 Share July 22, 2008 Very good idea but only make sure u buy from a very reliable dealer & use a very reliable freight forwarder. Otherwise when it reaches SG & u open up the boxes, u find some very expensive firewood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garlic 1st Gear July 22, 2008 Share July 22, 2008 (edited) Leyon Collections, 59 Up East Coast Rd Edited July 22, 2008 by Garlic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garlic 1st Gear July 22, 2008 Share July 22, 2008 (edited) Forgot to add, Leyon does custom furniture as well, you can specify size and carving pattern, quality is though waiting time is a few months. Love the smell of teak and its grain. Some of the pieces I got from them are more than 10 yrs old, they are freaking heavy and have survived multiple relocations.

Rayleigh 6th Gear July 29, 2008 Author Share July 29, 2008 try dempsey hill. Went to Dempsey hill over the weekend. Wow it has been decades since i last went there. Marvel at the transformation. Was attracted to one of the shop selling tradition teak furniture. Wood used is solid and the workmanship is superb and fine. And the price is almost double. Will try to bargain when I am affirmative in my purchase. Thanks for the recommendation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
