only can find from old furnitures. lots of rosewood now is coming from myanmar or indonasia but considered as inferior quality.

Take it as an investment lor....

Old furniture are good... as long not much is damaged or been repaired... more ppl use/sit... the shinier/smoother it gets.

Always knock knock and eyes have to open big big... sometimes pattern from the so called "One dining Set" mentioned by the seller, turns out differnt (the chairs part), haha...

nowadays new rosewood furnitures....i went to knock knock all sound "hollow"...unlike b4 those kind of solid wood sound.

some shops's ebony furniture also not up to standard(dunno whether it's real ebony or not).

ebony is supposed to be the heaviest wood around with a high density. yet some furniture sound a little "hollow"

just an update. i have booked my dining table, coffee table and flower stand from oriental handcrafts. their price is not the lowest but quality is the best for my bare eyes. may get more stuff from them later. just slowly build my collections.
