Hi I am just wondering if furniture shopping will be cheaper in JB than Singapore since most of the furniture companies actually have their factories there. Anyone has experience in this? Can share-share?
HI Ding Dong,
I also planning to get furniture from JB becos i noticed that i can get better quality and more stuffs over there at the same price in SGP. Eg, if i spend $1k on dining table in SGP, i will only get 4 chairs but if I spend $1k in JB, i can get 6 chairs in the same pattern and quality. Designwise: dining table got more choices. For Sofa, quite the same over both sides. For TV console and Coffee table, more choices over in JB.
For bedroom set, more choice also. But do be ware of certain shops which upon knowing that u want to get furniture over to SGP, will try to mark-up the prices including the delivery and custom taxes. And some also requested for full payment.
Go and visit city square: American Homes. They have furnitures that suit chinese more. I don't mean to discriminate over here but I find some of the shops cater more for Malays.
The correct payment for furniture shopping in JB should be:
Custom tax: RM$200
GST: 3% (S$)
Delivery and installation: Free for some shops, some shops demand a fee.
HOpe the above info. help u.

Thanks, Doremon. The tax and GST info is really useful!
So you still hunting for furniture? Do you think there is a concern about the quality of good deliver (like the IdealHome horror stories)? American Homes is reliable? Do you know if they have Celini there?
Anyone knows of other reliable furniture malls in JB to visit?
Pai Seh, a lot of qns hor....
Thanks in advance.

Hi heroin,
don't quite agree with your idea. Why buy furniture from JB where you can buy here in Singapore? Furthermore, have you ever consider the tax that is going to incur and the transport cost? What if they deliver the items to your places and few days later, the furniture found faulty and they will charge you more cost, have you consider that? Who knows, malaysia goods are not really worth considering. I don't quite like going to malaysia as I don't trust the people there.
try in Singapore, you can get better price elsewhere.

Sometimes it is not that I don't want to buy furniture in Singapore. But if a dining table set (with 4 chairs) costs RM300 and something similar in Singapore costs >S$300, it is not hard to see which I will choose. It all boils down to cost. And I agree with Simon that actually a lot of the furniture in Singapore are made in Malaysia and more often than not, they are 50% cheaper too.
I absolutely agree with Simon and Violet.
I think ultimately, our pocket is important. I mean, who is going to pity us if spend more than what we should.
I mean, we all need to save as much as we can for rainy days. Esp in times like this when retrench could happen anytime.
I been eyeing on JB furnitures even b4 i started my reno. If not becoz my boss dun allow us anyhow go out of SG, i will surely save alot of $$ on furniture.
Very sad to part with my hard-earned money.
I've got many friends who bought furniture from JB and after 3 years, their furniture is as good as new. Wherelse a few others who spent S$4K more than them, their furniture are starting to wear off. And they dun even have kids yet....

Hi Aiya,
It's a pity that you can't get your furniture from JB cos of your company restrictions.
My dad bought the dining set from JB and I when I saw it, I fell in love with it. During the Xmas break, I went with him to look-see the furniture at the shop he got the dining set. I loved the furniture I saw at the shop... and I know I was definitely going to buy all my furniture (if possible) from JB when I get married and have a house.
Hehe... I will only ROM this Sept. Planning to get a flat (resale, near my parents) first... and then saving money for customary. >.<

Hi Hersehys and Starlight,
pretty envious of your can go JB to buy the furnitures.
and guess what? Lots of furniture from Silver River and Courts all exactly the same as JB's. The same bedroom set in JB cost RM$3800. But the same one in Courts cost S$3500. Phew.
I guess just my suay luck. next time if furniture spoilt, hope JB's furniture still going cheaper. coz nowadays, Jb's economy is catching up with SG. So things turn abit more ex than few yrs back.

Hi Starlight,
I wanted to check with my dad last night, but it slipped my mind... will try to remember to check with him tonight. Not sure if he has the address... if I am not wrong, it is near Taman Sentosa... where the Giant supermart is... I know how to get there, but dunno address, hehe.

I also got this pbm myself, know how to go but dun know the actual address. Heehee....
My dad is quite familar with the roads near those major supermarkets like Giant etc, so if you dun know the actual address, can just give us some road directions.
Hi Aiya
Perhaps you can just get some furniture from Spore first, then get the rest from JB later on. At least, can still save a bit. Or how about ordering thru the net?

Hi all,
Juz to share something I found out over the weekend. I was in KL and happened to turn to the mid page of The Star (A Malaysian newspaper) and guess wat, I saw a picture of a 2.5 seater micro fibre fabric furniture which I wanted to buy in White Collection, Marina Sq 2 weeks ago, going for RM1190. It was selling at White Collection for S$1199 and I was told it's on promotion! This is a very distinct piece as it's sort of
designer-styled and made of micro fibre fabric, so I can instantly recognize it. I can't believe the difference in price is more than 50%.
I took down the address and tel no of their outlet in JB and they are:
Rozel by JKL Furnishing,
L2-L4, Blk E,
Complex Lian Hoe,
Taman Sentosa.
Tel: 07-3358850
I'll be making a visit there sometime. So if any of you like the furniture from White Collection, you may wanna consider going there. I believe this Malaysian supplier supplied their furniture here.

Hi Starlight,
Paiseh paiseh... the supermart there is Extra, not Giant. Hehe... haven't been to JB for 1/2yr liowz.
Asked my dad, he didn't have the address of the furniture shop, but he did give me the address of a restaurant which is in the same compound/building. Food there is good and cheap... the herbal chicken is yummy! It is Lot, L2-JA5, Southern City Hypermarket, No. 3, Jalan Suria 19, Taman Suria, 81100 Johor Bahru (restaurant's address). The furniture shops are on the 2nd level... by the way, dun expect the shops to be posh looking.
Oh, juz realised that I have a map that shows the location of the Extra Hypermart. Let me know if you need it.

Hi, anyone bought furniture from Malaysia recently? Thought of going there to take a look but not sure where they are located.
Hiyee, mind sharing the shops u recommend and what u have bought + price?
1.
2.
Would be great if someone knows if there's a mall there that has alot of those shops selling furnitures? I think its easier because I do not need to hop one place to another and find out that the shop has closed down.

Hi dappy,
Do you know if this furniture shop does custom-made furniture as well? Eg, use an existing design available in their catalogue but customised to your dimensions, color & even material (plywood instead of compressed wood)

Hi all;
just to add to jasmine said. Anymore recommendations from JB? Especially those w dark coloured/solid furnitures eg. zen-ny stuffs
actually the furnitures from jb are much more cheaper than here. about few months ago, i was scanning thru the furnitures @ "angsana" and came across this marble top w design dining table. i couldnt remember exactly the price but when i saw the same table @ imm, the price was the same except one in RM$ and S$.

Hi,
My sister is residing in Malaysia and she deals with furniture that is in dark in shade. She said her own dining table is made of solid wood with US-imported table top (I think it's veneer or something like that). Do drop me a line if you're interested to get furniture from Malaysia with discounted prices. Yes, according to her, furniture there is much cheaper. She was hopping mad when she knew that my fiance spent close to a thousand sing dollar on a dining table.

Hi gals and guys,
I must offer my sincerest apology. I've checked with my sister and she told me she's only dealing with wholesale in bulk. She doesn't sell furniture as a retailer. I'm really sorry. She's my sister but we don't know each other's field of work very well. She scolded me for getting an expensive dining table (in her opinion) and said she could get very cheap ones for me so I thought I could help her clinch some deals here and there not knowing she doesn't need them.
I'm really sorry!

Dear All,
I had ask one of the furniture shop from Kulai (johor), if i purchased more then RM2000 they will waive delivery charge, but need to pay 7% GST. But they didn't mention about the levy fees and other's charges..
This weekend will need to verify again when back to kulai.
