Hi,
On my last trip to Nairobi I purchased a few things for my new place from Odds and Ends, which was relatively (to the UK ) expensive, I also went the cheaper option of getting some things made from the local guys and purchased a bed for 30k which was cheap for that type of bed, however am not really too impressed with the quality.
I still need to purchase quite a few things including a 6/8 seater dining set, 2x single beds coffee table ect. I really don't want to be spending 100k on a dining set but what other options do I have. Anyone know of furniture makers whom are a cut above the rest but good value.
I visited a furniture maker many years ago in Old Town Mombasa which was just a run down space, this guy used to make Swahili furniture for many hotels on the coast including Kahama. I almost ordered some furniture off him but due to shipping costs to the UK, I lost interest. I wish I had kept his details as the price of Swahili beds ect in Nairobi seems very inflated.
