Q: What's a good furniture outlet besides IKEA?

IKEA is the best place to buy furniture in China. Agreed. Is there another shop or brand or area you'd recommend?

 

I went to an area that sells second hand furniture in the west end. Not recommended.

we have some stuff from taobao that turned out pretty decent. we have also bought some furniture from the city's "Furniture district". This is pretty basic, laminated wood, not something worth moving on to the next apartment. 

According to my taste most furniture stores in China only have "Ugly Expensive" stuff. I like simple. 

There is actually a second hand place here in town that sells some stuff that is pretty decent. But the things that are in good shape is also pretty much same price as the new stuff. The concept of second hand doesn't work well in China.

A:It happened to me, once ... in 2014 or 15 ...Plane from RP city (Tianjin) had more than 10h delay at take-off, and I came to the HK's exit Luohu some 7 hours after the RP expiration date.In real, I came to the exit crossing just on time or only an hour late, but Luohu is closed overnight (10pm - 6am), which I didn't know.There were two unexpected things happened at that exit: flight's delay with closed Luohu overnight on the topI had a decent and real excuse for the cops next morning, but still I was put in a side office for some 3 or 4h and then cops had a short lecture with '.. and make sure, it will never happened again! ..', and I was let go without anything on my record. At least, at the new Z visa application and following reentry to China nobody ever mentioned anything about the delayed exit. However, I had a bad, un-eased feeling at the following Z visa appearance in Wanchai ...It is much, much wiser and safer to exit at least a day or even a few days ahead of the RP expiration date. -- icnif77
