BUYING FURNITURE:

[Steven Moore md]

We are moving into our apartment in Santa Maria in July. Does anyone have any recommendations for furniture stores in Panama City that they have found to have good quality, ample selection, and fair prices? Our trip to Albrook Mall last fall was not what we had hoped it would be. We have seen several boutique type furniture stores along the streets intersecting Balboa Blvd that been nice and avant-garde, but they’ve also a bit on the pricey side, with limited inventory. We’re hoping to find someplace with a large showroom where we might be able to locate the majority of the things we’d need to furnish our 4 bedroom home. Any recommendations the forum could give us would be most appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hi Steve,

I hope some of our forum members chime in with any thoughts or tips gleaned from their time here!

You may want to check out smaller stores like Girasol (https://www.facebook.com/Gira-sol-1479680738955617/ I think they do custom furniture as well), Casa Confort (EL Dorado mall), Muebleria Ancon, DoIt Center or Furniture City (near the intersection of Via Brazil and Via Espana) and http://www.inandoutdeco.com/ (for blinds etc) that might be able to show you catalogues for items they can order or have in their warehouses. In addition there is a brand new mall called Altaplaza you may want to check out (I haven’t been yet). There is an expat-run consignment store called Deja Vu that is great for finding that one special or missing piece (and they have a lot of inventory). I’m sure your new neighbors and realtor/developer who sold you the unit will also have recommendations.

Hope you find what you’re looking for!

Best,

Jessica
