Buying Furniture

Anybody know where I can buy some solid-wood furniture? I need a king-size bed and a chest of drawers. There's a shop selling it near Teung Sri Meung, but it's really expensive! At fairs I've been to in Udon, they have solid-wood furniture for half that price, but I don't know how to contact them now. Can anybody help?

You get what you pay for. In my experience the market fairs sell cheaper but generally the wood is not seasoned, therefore it shrinks after manufacture leaving unsightly cracks in the finished product. Unfortunately there is no way to determine this but having to rely on the makers integrity, but remember TIT.

There ARE a few guys who drive around our housing estate selling This type of Furniture but I live in Nong-Khai,But IT Does LOOK the Business,BUT then again I AM NO expert.

Try the prison shop.
Located outside the prison
The have some really nice stuff and between myself and some friends we have purchased quite alot with no quality issues.
If you don't see what you like you can talk with them about having a special made.
I think it is cheaper, better quality and you actually have a choice in design unlike the same same fair product's.
Well worth a look but beware you may come away with more than you bargained for if you take the wife.
"Is very cheap darling, we buy this too"

Good Tip Roy. Yes forgot that one. Some excellent stuff in there ,all at knocked down prices.

I think this topic would actually be more appropriate under "Shopping".

Thanks for the advice! The prison shop had beautiful furniture! We found exactly the item we wanted- solid wood- at half the price of stores!

Just wanted to bump this topic as I will be furnishing my home this week or next. Is the prison shop still in business and is it located at the prison?

Thanks in advance.

Yes,the shop is still there located right near the prison, not actually in the prison.

OT........

For solid wood furniture, you may also want to check out the store on the opposite side of the highway overpass from Big C. I just purchased a bedset there and found the selection to be better than the prison store. Prices at both places seemed comparable.

Global is now carrying a decent variety of wood furniture. I'm not certain, but guessing it's rubber tree wood (I think that's a medium grade of wood). Nothing fancy in design, but the prices looked fair.

Just got back from the prison store and found exactly what I was looking for at good prices ( the labeled prices are the starting point for negotiations).

Thanks to everyone who chimed in with information.

Guys - I'd never heard of this prison shop, I'm all ears. Come on Roy lets have some proper directions, Passing prison heading towards Prince Pratamnak monument, would it be b4 prison or after? Is it on same side or opposite side? How many shops between or is it right next door?

Have to ask, is this furniture by chance made by the in-mates, would explain why the prices are so reasonable???
