Right. Apart from Ikea, Tequila Kola and Shambala, where's a good place to look for a bed? Am sleeping on a mattress on the floor at the mo and fancy being all posh & grown-up and getting an actual bedframe. Ideas?
Am also thinking about getting a made-to-measure wardrobe for the bedroom... does anyone have a shop/contractor they can recommend?

We got our last bed from Sogo, up on the 9th floor if I remember correctly.
They have a big range from many suppliers.
If you have got any problems with this site send them to Support@HKExpats.com Thanks

Oooooh, fantastic. I have $300 worth of Sogo vouchers too, given to me by Standard Chartered Bank when they conned me into becoming a "premium" customer. Ta, SG.

I do have several friends who are in the industry, PM me if you are interested

Have you tried Wing-on (Sheung Wan) ?

The problem with instant gratification is that it takes too bloody long...

Not checked out anywhere yet Fundy, but know enough about Ikea quality and TK/Shambala design (plus their beds weigh a freaking ton) to want to avoid them if I can.
Ta for the heads-up Shadow, do your mates do custom-built furniture?

Yes, BB, I know; and Rodigan did speak highly of the work WPE did on renovating his bathroom(s), so that's on my list too.

Worse crap than Ikea? I don't mind cheap; it's the 'nasty' bit I balk at.

Hi. Lola, do you mind second hand? I might have a friend want to sell his bed, should be King Size or Queen Size. Are you consider? Please let me know. Thanks.

My mate Hoi recently had his brothel shut down in Yau Ma Tei and he is going to spend a couple of months in the shade. Anyway he ran this not so dingy brothel which had queen, king and round beds like the one above, all pretty good stuff.
Anyway the beds are extra strong for obvious reasons and should take what ever you and Mr Benn (and guests) you can throw at it.
I checked already and they said that the beds were covered with PVC plastic sheet so there should not me any cum stains on them.
I can pass you Keung's phone number if you want to see them after the courts release the apartment again. PM me lovey.
I'm available to write reviews of bars as long as they are s**t holes.

There was this bloke marching through Bar George on Friday night, following this chick through to the back bar while telling her very loudly (presumably for the benefit of any other passing female) "I'm a bra salesman, I know all about bras, ask me anything, bra salesmen don't lie".
Was that you, KM?
