Default Furniture Packs

Greetings. If you are furnishing your property in Bucharest, there are several options, & some of them have been discussed in this Forum. Ideally, what you want is a 'Personal Shopper' type service with a team who can assemble it. Much as you would do back at home with your own home. Using a Furniture supplier may restrict your choice slightly. For example, lights can be very affordable if bought from the right place, not a lighting boutique. Ditto Kitchens, bedroom furniture etc. So, a one-stop-shop might not always be the best option, though it can be sometimes of course.

There are many to chose from, but as an example, I have just returned to Brasov from Bucharest (IKEA, Bricostore etc) with an estate car & trailer full to the brim with a kitchen-complete, curtains & rails, & lighting for a large 1 bed (70m) apartment. That will take a basic apartment from its current shell status to being usable as an unfurnished aparment, in 2 or 3 days, for 2450 Euros, fitting, delviery, & electrical work included. Eg, 3m of integrated, fitted kitchen units, stainless steel oven, hob & extractor, 8 modern, halogen type lights, aluminium curtain rails covering 8m of various windows, plus 2 blinds for hte kitchen.

If you want full furnishing, add another 600 fro fridge & washing machine, Bedrooms should cost around 1000e or so to furnish each, a lounge would need circa 2500-3000 including electrical goods, & a bathroom, around 100e for fittings.

I will have before & after videos by this weekend, if you want to see an example.

We have 4 apartments to furnish in the same developement (Avant Gardens), for different UK/ Romanian selling agents' clients.

Regards

Damian

We need to funish our appartment for letting purposes and have been contacted by the above company offering to do this on our behalf. We've checked their web-site which looks fine, but I can't find anything else on the web about them...which in this day and age is slightly unusual. We've also got concerns that they won't take payment by card, want payment to a spanish bank a/c and contact is made via e-mail unless they call us etc.

Compared to the package being offered to us by our agent...who shall we say is one of the biggest names in the business and on our TV's....the package from Furniture Direct works out about EUR4000 cheaper.....but we are just worried about how genuine they are etc?

Has anyone had any dealings with them in the past or with my agent *** who are are charging through the nose.

Any advice regarding this or furniture packs would be appreciated.

Cheers
