Hey Guys,
My GF and I have been looking for a new dining table and we couldn't believe the price of a simple solid timber table and chairs.
We went to a furniture store on Johnson St here in Fitzroy for a look on the weekend. They quoted $1,595 for a dining table 2100 x 1050 x 770 in Blackwood + $2,000 for 8 (discounted from $295 each to $250!) low back chairs in Vic Ash.
They didn't have the table we liked in an 'off-the-shelf' size so the sales person had to go away and call the manufacturer to see if they could make it.
Anybody know who makes these tables for furniture retailers? From what I could tell this particular store didn't have their own workshops like say Mark Tuckey or somebody does.
Figured I'd be able to get it cheaper by going direct to the source or is this standard pricing these days?
Any recommendations for Melbourne suppliers/manufacturers?
