Furniture Stores in Ensenada

TonyC - 2-3-2009 at 10:49 AM

Heading down to El Socorro in a couple of weeks with my better half. No fishing for Tony on this trip.

We want to stay in Ensenada for a few days, before heading to the house. Checked the accommodation fourm, and Villa Fontana sounds like the place for us.

Becky wants to shop for furniture....any recommendations and suggestions?

She also wants a legitimate massage and facial with microdermibrasion. I could go for that too. Easy on the recommendations (massage) guys....don't get me in trouble.

What style of furniture are you looking for?

Any style will do, in need of 2 matching armoires or even 2 matching chifferobes. I just want to be able to store the clothing neatly and keep the critters out.

It's not Mexican, but there is an Ashley Furniture Store in the mall with Walmart and Applebees on the south end of town.

By the way, Villa Fontana is situated right on the main drag. But it can be noisy, and has limited parking. If you don't mind being a little farther away from the 'action', Hotel San Nicolas is a great property. They are running some very attractive discount deals, and they have a casino on the property.

Forget Ashley's for that stuff; you don't want a furniture store, you want a furniture maker! Ashley's is American style. You might also check out IKEA and just bring the goods down with you and put it together. It would be packed in flat boxes that would fit into most SUVs.

If you want Mexican style, there are several little shops along the Reforma just south of Ensenada that offer "Roperas", which I think is what you want to get.

Not that I could ever afford anything in there but Fausto Polanco located on Mateo Lopez and the river is a pretty classy furniture joint. More a museum than anything though.

Don't you have to clear Mexican customs with furniture you're bringing down?

Rosarito is the furniture capital here

from in town all the way to Fox studios there is a million furniture stores. They will even custom make them for you. Try there first,k:yes:

When you get tired of paying too much, try the Segundas. They're all over the place.
I wish someone would put together a book of Yellow Pages for the Segundas. Where they are and what they specialize in. It would be a top seller. It could be the forerunner of a whole new trend in tourism:

Second Hand Furniture Tours

The Segundas want way too much for the used furniture; it's often even more expensive than new!
