I am looking to buy some really nice new comfortable furniture in Nairobi: sleep sofa, recliner chairs, stacking washer/drier etc. - can anyone suggest some shops that would have a good inventory?

Hi Ammenan,
Check out Furniture Palace. They have an ongoing sale at the moment. Also, Antarc Furniture or Furniturama Ltd. For antiques, you can check out Past & Present. You can get info on their current offers and sales as well as contact info on offersafrica(dot)com. Hope this helps!

We bought most of ours from Odds and Ends, on Mombasa Road. Its locally made and very good quality. Although expensive, it looks like new 10 years on. Places like Furniture Palace, Nakumatt etc, often sell Chinese imported stuff. It rather repends on your taste, but I won't knowingly allow any MDF or Chipboard furniture in my house.
