I just wondered if anyone has furnished their studio in Persia? I have to go over soon to get my keys but as I only have a very minimal time to be over in Dubai and wondered if anyone could recommend a good furniture store where I would be able to get delivery very quickly e.g. 3 days? I know this is probably asking a bit much. I know i could get some furniture from Ikea but I had intended on getting some more traditional furniture. I have been on line to see if I could order furniture online and order it for when I am over, but the ones I have been to online don't seem to have a facility to order online. I did e-mail one of the stores but as yet not heard from them. One I saw was Marina exotic furnishings. I saw quite a few sofas I really liked and would be great if I was able to order one for me going over to Dubai and arrange delivery for then. I cannot seem to see anywhere to order it online. Can anyone help with any advice for me. for those who have furnished their studio......how have you done it? Do you have a bed or a sofa bed or a bed and also a sofa. I know they are very small, so space is a consideration. It would be really great if someone could post a picture on here of their furnished studio!!!
Cheers.

Play it safe and goto Dubai Ikea :-)

hi mary

i think that you should be able to get sorted in the short time you are there.

i visited intl city last year and whilst there i went to teh dragon mart.

they have almost everything under the sun in there, and there's also ikea i suppose.

good luck..

Dragon Mart closest Location and located inside International City

Just remember if you do use Ikea which would be the next closest Large Furniture Store location Festival City that if you wish to use Ikea Delivery and assembly service it will take several days seldom can they deliver and assemble on the same day.

Ikea however do offer a service from local delivery trucks which do not belong to the company, however you will then have to arrange for some one to build or put your furniture together.

If you have limited time I think Dragon Mart would be the best option.

You are going to pay a lot more money for Furniture from Marina. Considering the shortage of Rental accommodation I was told that by providing a Furnished apartment I would only achieve maximum 5,000 AED more a year. You then have the hassle of wear and tare verse a vacant apartment where the tenant provides all the furniture.

You could also consider just placing a stove/ fridge and the tenant provides the rest.

This is the norm in Dubai.

does dragon mart sell stoves/fridges??

I couldn't find anything useful at Dragon Mart.

PAN furnitures have a good selection of affordable stuff like dining, living and bedroom sets and also they have regular sales.
