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.

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.
