Question Furniture

I bought a condo in Cabarete and now have to furnish it. I would like modern style furnishing. Where is a good place to go? Puerto Plata or Santiago?

What kind of furniture are you looking for? American furniture, rattan furniture? How much do you want to spend. There are several options in the Sosua / Puerto Plata area.

I need table and chairs, couch and loveseat, bed and dresser, tv, fridge and microwave. I would like to spend no more than $8000.00 us. I like the dark mahogany wood and stainless steel fridge, microwave and coffee pot.

What's a loveseat?

Is it one of those contraptions you find in some of the cabanas touristicas?

There's a good place in Gaspar Hernandez, I can't remember the name, but it's on three floors. Has a good selection of everything you listed and at very reasonable prices. They deliver too.

I can also recommend Distribudor Gonzales in downtown POP opposite the church square.

Seriously - what the heck is a loveseat, more to the point .......

Do I need to get one?

Facil Muebles in front of the hospital in POP are OK if you are up for some hard bartering!

A love seat is just a small couch. It seats 2 instead of 3.
Thanks Beeza for your help.

apparently this is one- it looks more like an instrument of torture
its a two seater seat where the seats face in opposite directions- very difficult for love making- this is an english love seat

You should go to Santiago. If you are an American expect to pay more. If you know someone that you trust that's Dominican bring him/her with you to negociate . The prices are a lot better for Dominican anywhere you go. Good luck

Its so you can gaze into each others eyes.
Funnily enough the chairs you were thinking about Rio give little opportunity for eye contact!
