Furniture/quality.......and price is a big issue in the area. Depending on how much you need? I recommend shopping the furniture makers in Cuanajo which is outside Patzcuaro. They will build it how you want and the have the nicest dressers, headboards, mirrors.......etc at a fraction of the cost here.

Contact my email link for more complete info.

Aliza in Zihuatanejo 0n 200. Just don't buy anything with vinyl the climate in Zihuatanejo will cause it to peel within a year. You can bargain with the owner somewhat his name is Jugo. They can also custom make dressers, tables etc. He has a workshop on site. The upholstered furniture comes from Guadalajara.

When we went to Cuanajo to look for furniture, we had a hard time finding it. You take a right turn from the road between Patzcuaro and Morelia, but it is poorly marked. The sign is placed about 100 yards down the road. We found one shop open. They had a nice table and chairs which we wanted to buy. When asked if they could arrange for shipping to Zihua, they said "No". Business must have been booming...
There's a place on the road to Ixtapa that sells "equipal" furniture. The leather doesn't do well in the local climate; consider buying it with fabric.

We found getting things delivered was not an issue, we did three bedrooms.........This was 3 1/2 years ago.....There are about 12 makers of furniture now there.

Thanks Garry we will check it Out!

Thanks midland and frostbite, we were looking to purchase in the zihua/ixtapa area as we will not have a vehicle.

There are many reasons that here in the tropics built in cement furniture and bamboo furniture are used so frequently.Bamboo furniture

There is an oil available locally to treat soft-wood (pine?) furniture. I was told this needs to be done twice a year. Getting your manager/maid to do that while you're away is a different matter.

How special you are to have servants to take care of your ignorance in choosing furniture!

Anyone know of a cure for assholeitis? I do lots of work around the house during our 2 weeks of vacation. That leaves 50 weeks a year when others have to take care of things.

Ok, back to where to buy furniture, thanks

There are also a bunch across the canal from commercial mexicana. They will also build to spec, as well as the bamboo guy off Limones before the street that country fried chicken is. Sorry forgot the name. They also custom make anything from chairs, couches, dressers, beds, end tables etc.

Thanks Charly buy
