looking for some bamboo table + chairs

Post by curiosity »

Hi folks,

I'm looking for a bamboo table set (or something else that is light to carry), aka 1 table and and 2 chairs. The salespeople in the bamboo/rattan furniture street near Aeon 1 tried to charge the Royal Palais for their furniture today. Probably haven't had any business for months.

Do you know any small street alternatives?

That was the area where you had visited, I was going to suggest, because I know of no other.
Also that is the problem, more so now (overcharge) due to no business, it goes beyond barrang tax. There's always the small folding table and chairs, maybe an alternative.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

there's one or two on 488 East of SuperDuper but they probably have a TTP Barang tax as well...

Please ensure the bamboo is not of a critically endangered species, was sustainably grown and humanely harvested, then marketed thru an accredited "whole of chain" fair-trade mechanism.
Spoiler:
:D actually, i just think they are as uncomfortable as Hell to sit in
