Purchasing Furniture and Household Appliances

If i were you, i'd rather buy it in jakarta. it might cost you a lot, moreover the furniture might not be fit into the room. the furniture here is quite cheap

Bringing that lot over would cost you a fortune and create a thousand problems with customs.
Sort of depends on how long you're here for and who is with you.
If alone for a year, a bed settee and a table will be enough.
A microwave is really handy for rewarming pizza.

i think you better just buy a new one here. the shipping would cost more than just buy a new one. the furniture here, specially the wooden one, have its own beauty. try to find the one from Jepara.

Perhaps you now the deal with customs and how to import but I don't and I'm pretty sure most others would.
If your company can supply the service at reasonable cost, it may be worth it for a long term expat.

However, it sort of depends on the needs of the person in question.
I family with a lot of expensive stuff may wish to bring it but that single dude would be far better with the bed settee and something to nuke his pizza with.
