there is istanbul and kelebek and many more furniture shops
more than we ever got the choice from but then they are dearer
allways ask for discount, maybe you will get it maybe you wont but ask.
you will be paying a lot of money.

If you go to anywhere else other than Eren Spot, don't forget to ask for the 8-10% discount because you have gone to them yourself, not with a "friend" who pockets that as commission for taking you there.

Learnt that one last week, with discount for "January Sale" and 8% because we walked in of the street gave us 18% of the ticket prices without even trying. They even threw in a 270YTL stainless steel (not plastic) microwave as a gift. Dearer than Eren Spot but better quality I think, after all this is for our home, not a holiday appartment or rental place.

I still would say Eren Spot would be hard to beat on prices.

Quite right too Baz.

I confirmed a long time ago, so for newer members:

The larger furniture shops pay commission to agents for bringing customers. You don't need to go to negotiate your deal, they have pretty girls who come to find you

Like 3%(+) commission isn't enough, you have to keep squeezing every last lira out of your customer. I told them all to shove it, hero that I am

So anything up to 20% is free to go, go alone and ask for it as your discount.

I'm coming out end of Feb to furnish my 3 bedapartment, can't wait, first stop Eren Spot Shop then on a curtain hunting expedition, Had a quote in Nov that I thought was excessive so am heading back to have a major haggle and shop around.I'm really hoping to keep everything toabout £3-£3500k

I should also point out that I know a number of agents who refuse to take commission from the furniture shops
