    BUYING FURNITURE AND HOUSEWARES

    Any recommendations on where to buy inexpensive furniture for living room and bedrooms in Sosua, Puerto Plata or even Santiago but hopefully no further away? Don't want top quality or expensive but don't want crap either.
    Will also need basic kitchen ware.
    When you can think of yesterday without regret and tomorrow without fear, you are near contentment.
    Your opinions are not my problem...

    I'm also interested in furniture although not sure what type except inexpensive and hopefully durable and comfortable. perhaps rattan or wrought iron.

    Sounds like I may have to be looking to buy something down there.... was thinking of going back to Australia when my kids go to college.... but since the ex is US based she will see them more than me... this way I am close and in a tropic setting... and can always go to Oz once or twice a year to visit freinds and family.

    Thanks Domfan!

    I'm more interested in economical than upscale both by taste and income

    International Plaza is like suddenly being transported to a luxury mall in the states, complete with food court. Nice place. No parking to speak of...
