Apartment completed, and we are now looking to have a furniture package delivered and fitted before we come over in four weeks time. Does anyone have any advice or experience of having done this? Any advice or tips appreciated! thanks jackie

Hi Jackiem.



Frank and Joans website, is one of the best sources of assistance. Frank is a Fist Class bloke

he sells Bosch Kitchens to the builders. Joan specialises in furniture packages.I am sure that they would offer you every assistance.

Hey, if you are looking for top quality and trendy furniture you should really pay a visit to my daughter's shop Smart Plus Furniture just before Lemar at Karaoglanoglu. As an interior designer she can also provide special designs to measure to make the house look really class. She can do wonders with limited spaces and make every inch usuable.

I would back what wynyardman says - we got all our furniture through Frank and Joan including curtains and blinds and everything was delivered for us, installed and ready for our use. Whether they can do it within the month I dont know. Have a look at their website and you can contact them through that - http://www.frankandjoan.com

Friends of mine have just bought a package from Botanica (www.botanicacyprus.com ) and it was all delivered very quickly. It obviously comes down to your personal choice as to the style of furniture you want and therefore which supplier to go with.

I can vouch for Elko2 / Ismet.... We used Smart+ to furnish our villa after a lot of trawling through the shops. I have to give them top marks for Style, Choice, Quality and Service. More like John Lewis furniture than local items, and plenty of modern items and accessories too. - Excellent !

We also bought a table and chairs from Olguns and they were very good. They have a new showroom on road out towards Catalkoy.

Hi Simbas



Is Toros easy to find in Lefkosa? Do you have any directions?



Cheers
