[amzz]

Standards
Fens - roundabout Marabella
Wood You - Tragarete Rd


btw... why not courts?

[BW]

courts

[Solachica]

Standards.

I know furniture people who make stuff for courts so wud rather go to them and get something than go to Courts and pay inflated price.

It helps tht I know furniture shop people to but ah cud tell yuh one thing dem skilled people does real stick. Yuh paying dem and still they sticking.

[amzz]

sola, most of the time they stick because of the number of jobs they take.

[Solachica]

Yea they spreading themselves thin.

Courts not all bad. I bought a sewing machine and treadmill in Courts. But only becos Standards didn't have those things

[Ali]

i heard Fens have good stuff

i plan on making what i can with the few power tools i have home ........MUCH cheaper

[ebony02]

Breadwinner, .

Amzz and Sola, thanks. Amzz, Courts' beds cheap! The wood look like it will rot as soon as water hits it. Somewhat like cardboard wood nah. And the mattress is not firm at all. I just want to throw out that bed and get a new one.

Any reviews on Mode Alive, Imperial Furnishings, Bombay, Signature Selection, or Mi Casa? Found these selections on Google.

But not for furniture, Sola. Especially not for beds.

na na i want my weekends to be free.

but the name eh sound bad

[Solachica]

Ebbs, maybe yuh just bought ah cheap bed made with inferior material. Couple yrs ago my parents bought a bed from courts tht is solid teak. It ended up costing abt $11K tthough.

Nowdays I find the use inferior material and mdf board. So when yuh think its all teak etc is yuh getting teak in parts tht showing and mdf tht stained teak colour at back.
I also saw on a 'teak' table they used teak strips on the top of the table and it was not a solid teak table.

Sola you will be amazed to know that the majority of furnitures here is the USA are very inferior in quality. They are mostly held in place by screws that are too small or glue that comes apart very easily.

I have always preferred wrought iron as they are more durable. Oliver Metal Works [I don't know if they are still in business] is/was the ideal place for any and all kinds of furnitures.

[Solachica]

Yea I noticed the furniture in US. its like the stuff tht Brand Source sell here. Stuff you buy an assemble.

[BW]

hey dont knock ikea stuff. Literally all my furniture is from there, and the quality is p good imo.

[Angie]

Is American Stores still operating in T&T?

I LOVE IKEA and Pier 1 !!! Definitely a great place to shop for a first apartment/flat or even first home.

I thought they were opening one in TT?

[Solachica]

Yea American Stores still around. It have one on Coffee Street.

[amzz]

I hope ikea comes to tnt. I like their modern designs.
ebony, last time I went to mode alive they didnt have much furniture.

[guyguy]

Ebbs,
Make sure yuh get ah rell strong iron bed eh odderwise we go be buyin' ah new one everyday.

[Angie]

Except for my living room and patio set which are wrought iron with cushions [I can change the covers] all the other furnitures are by Laura Ashley. They are very elegant and compliment any color you choose for the walls as there are border patterns to match the furnitures that brings a perfect blend of colors

[mivs]

is scratch an dent furniture/appliances worth buying in T&T?

[amzz]

courts used to have SnD sales with some pretty good stuff..not sure if they still do

[Solachica]

I hear DS Maharaj having a scratch and dent sale.
Last year I saw some furniture store in Grand Bazar have snd sale. Not sure if it was standards if they have outlet in GB.
Is scratch n dent stuff the repossessed stuff? Or they really just new but scratch and dent?

[amzz]

Standards has a store at GB so could have been them.
Some would be repossessed (I assume)
