We decide to upgrade our table and chairs out on the veranda and went to look today for new ones. Tried Gunlukbasi Road and the Calis to Fethiye Road. Prices were really expensive. From 4,500TL to the cheapest quoted which was 2,300TL. This was for 4 dining chairs and one table. We did not realise this furniture was so highly priced.
Are we looking in the wrong places? Or is this how much it costs?
Thanks in advance for any advice. ;D
-
It's probably because it's imported. Turkish made furniture will be a lot cheaper.
-
There are several shops on the hill that rises up to the start of the Ovacik road.
-
Try Saffet from Evim Garden Centre in Ovacik, his prices are a lot cheaper and has a FB page
-
Thanks Busybee. Yes, we were at Saffet's place last week but not for furniture. I know he sells lots of stuff from catalogues, but wanted to see things in "real life" rather than order from a picture. We are friends on F.B. So thanks for that, will have a look at his pages, you never know...
Hi Kevin, We were going to take a drive up there and have a look, think I remember some shops on that road, thanks...

Did you have a look at TEKZEN ? This is their webpages for garden furniture sets. They might not have everything in the store. At least this might give you an idea about the prices.

Hi Libra, we saw that place going down the road and were passed before we could stop, so said we would call back and then forgot about it. Thanks for that, will go and check it out.
Took a look at the catalogue, looks promising, at least there are prices.

It might be worthwhile having a drive out to the shops on the D400 just before Kemer. They're on the left at Zorlar just before the big junction where the D400 and the D350 meet.
Sancarlar Mobilya used to do that kind of thing. Although I'm not sure whether they're still there.

Thanks KKOB.

Tezcan have a good choice of garden furniture though I did find all there rattan furniture not very comfy and a tad on the cheap ( looking) side...we got a small set two chairs and coffee table with glass top from a shop called something like Gunisola ( sorry it was a few years back now) i think it was on the Gunlakbasi road, it csnt have been miles away from Calis as I remember Derek cycled there to go have a look first while i stayed in bed lol! Also Bravacasso i got a round table and two chairs very good quality, not the cheapest but i had been to so many shops and this was exactly what i wanted, he did me a good price ( i knew becos I had been to loads of places) and on same road is the Eren Spot shop who also had a lot of choice at good prices :)

Sancarlar closed suddenly immediately after the coup last year ...

Thanks to everyone who posted to help. We found a really good shop at Taysaka and decided to go with rattan and not the plastic Chinese rattan. This shop was the best value for money and I haggle the price down a bit. Shop had a good stock and the guy makes all cushions himself, you just pick the material which is weather proofed. He made up the cushions and also a cover for the set and delivered the same day (yesterday).
He showed us large book which showed the furniture being made in Turkey and the rattan being woven. He also gave us a 4 year guarantee and said if there was any damage to the rattan, he would repair it, as he keeps rolls at the back of the shop.
We are really pleased with our purchase. :) ;D

Hi Jacqui,
What is the name of this shop please? Is it the one where they have another shop directly opposite?
Thanks
-
Yes, it has another shop right opposite with all the sunbeds etc., It is called Seki Mobilya Dekorasyon
