Shopping For Furnitures In Malaysia

[weixiaobao 0]

hi weixiaobao! are these furniture shops clustered in the same area in JB? am thinking to drive in to look-see oso. hope can find some good bargains inside.

but if they r somewhat scattered, then i'll need to plan the route and time carefully.

Actually its my uncle who drove me ard.. but its at jalan molek that area.. got a few furniture shops.

But their showroom is pretty hot cos their aircon machiam like not working

Btw, I saw exactly similar triangular sidetable at Leads furniture today.. think Leads selling at SGD 299 while Miva selling at 556 RM (abt 258 SGD including GST).

Not much diff hor..

With the exception of skilled carpenters whom make/produces furnitures in sg locally, almost all of the furniture you see in market are imported from outside. Some are from malaysia also. lol. Not surprising that you will find this or that same model. Its just the price difference. And besides, prices will be different depending on the demand for this and that model actually. See how 'hot' it is or not

I've got my furniture from Miva in JB. 1 x 2M L shape sofa, 1 x Coffee table with 2 chairs, 1 x Dining table with 6 chairs. Total plus transport and tax is 3K plus SGD. Would cost me upwards of 5K if i were to get similar items in Singapore and from OM.

Again, the tax levy is dependent on the value of the furniture you bought. This is what I understand.

Secondly if you intend to get most of the furniture from JB required for your place, the total costs is still worth it even more. Because if you calculate the costs spent in sg for the same no of furniture you get in sg will easily be around 10sgd max which will be around the same spent in malaysia except it is in ringgit currency. That is half the price you could get in sg currency for getting most of your furniture from JB. So the tax + transport levy will be calculated based on that value which would still be much more worth it based on the currency exchange rate.

Even if you get a lorry, you will have to pass customs at the sg checkpoint & declare the total value of your furniture on your own which means you will be paying the tax levy in SGD not in RM there besides rental of lorry + fuel costs.

That sounds a good buy looking at miva's products from their website.

Lorenzo in M'sia is even cheaper by almost 20% and the shop space is bigger than any I have seen in Singapore

Just made some purchase at Miva today. Was surprised with the quality there. I was expecting similar quality like those sales item in Singapore shop. But i was presantly surprised.

3+ 2+1 L-shape sofa, 1 Dining table with 6 chairs (love the thick temper glass top and chrome legs.), 1 King-size bedframe, 1 coffee table. RM$8000. Transport free. LevyRM $100.+ GST.

I must say they do have quite a few nice designs. Value for money

SImilar sofa in Sinapore would have cost me S$3K. Got it RM$3K.

Dining table-S$2K (4 chairs). Got it RM$2.6K.

BEdframe S$1.2K becomes RM$1.9K

Coffee Table - S$500. Got it RM$500

Delivery early Sept.

I'll try to laod some pics later. Now got to go sleep...

Anyway, good buy! Hope the quality is good too

Hi,

You will have to undertake a certain amount of risk when you buy from M'sia, I have very faint scratches on the dining table but that is a minor inconvenience since the table is going to get more scratches in the near future. As long as there are no major defects like broken glasses or missing legs, I'd reckoned the risk is worth it.

Hi guys, for those of you who bought furniture in malaysia, how did you settle the payment? Did you pay in full? place a small deposit and paid remainder in cash when they send over or? Any bad experiences? Thanks!

U place a deposit first. Then when near to delivery date , 1 week or so before delivery, u pay up the remainder. They don't collect $ upon delivery for obvious reason.

My previous purchase was 8 years ago. No problem with it. This time round also buy in JB. Just hope everything ok.

One piece of advice though,. Better to get from bigger and established furniture shop (eg/ MIVA, Rustica, Lorenzo then those small ones). Though u'll never know..

The furniture shop I bought my things from 8 years ago is no longer in business

Happy shopping..
