Building a casa in Z and need advice on furnishings.

Here's where we shopped for our project:
Dining room furniture & barstools: on the road to Ixtapa there's a store that carries equipal furniture among other items; forget the name, it's on the right side leaving town. Much wooden furniture is made in Cuanajo, about 1/3 of the way between Patzcuaro and Morelia,
Paintings & other decorations: The shops in Casa Marina carry a lot of nice stuff, but we went to Morelia. There are 2 stores there near the cathedral which carry lots of folk art from Michoacan.
Appliances: Comercial Mexicana
Lounge chairs: brought from home.
Mattresses: Electra.
Bedding & towels: brought from home.
Flower pots: There's a place on the road to the airport which carries pots and plants.
Coffee table: we had ours made out of bamboo by Hanibal in La Madera, corner of Calle Adelita and Remedios.
Congratulations and good luck with your project.

Congratulations! We did this a few years ago. Most of our furniture came from the nice store next to Click. I'm sorry, but I'm drawing a blank on the name. They have very nice stuff, the people are great, but it is kind of expensive. It is next door to Click. We got some furniture and our mattresses from IZ Furniture. Jason is great. The mattress at our home in Troncones is much more comfy than our ones at home. Our televisions came from La Commercial. They always have good deals. Our washer and dryer came from a place out near the market in Zihua but across the street....I can't recall the name of it. It's right near the big corner. Coppel perhaps?

Have fun!

Don't know what kind of furniture you are looking for, but I am posting what was made for me there locally.

Even the stand in the center of the palm trees was made there, along with the couch and love seat and the coffee table. Sorry my table and chairs for the dining room are not really visable but you get the idea. Several people have mentioned the place on the corner by Rufo's restaurant. Hanibel works with you for all sorts of stuff. He does a good job. I put the tile on the top of my coffee table myself. I wanted it to match the tile on my floor. Has worked out wonderfully for what I wanted. My furniture in the pictures is about 6 years old but I have some bamboo stuff that is probably more than 20 years old and still looks and functions great.

Thank you everyone! I will be flying in this weekend to finalize the plans and now have lots of great ideas to begin exploring. My time in Zihuatanejo has always been 7 days here and 10 days there and focused on the beach, bars, markets and restaurants. I can now spend my time on your recommendations so our retirement home is perfect. I thank each of you so much.

We purchased our electronics and kitchen appliances at the Elektra Store on Jose Morales. There's a smaller one on Benito Juarez but the the larger store has a better selection. Also purchased our mattresses from there. Paid a guy ($100 pesos) with a big truck outside the store and he delivered everything to our new casa in the Madera area (the Elektra salesman came along and helped unload!) Agree with everyone else on linens - bring your sheets and towels from home as the quality is much better, but resist bringing thick towels that you are accustomed to as they don't dry very well in the tropical climate. Agree with others about Hanibal on Calle Adelita and his furniture skills - he's great! Enjoy the adventure - you won't regret it!
