You guys can try Horestco as well.. They supply their wood furnitures mainly to hotels and restaurants, quite good quality. Got two bar chairs from them recently. They are situated at Glenmarie, Subang area...

There's numerous cafe furniture providers in Malaysia, but many of them don't have sufficient variety or option to select for the prestigious cafe or perhaps a restaurant, but decon designs offers everything this type of wide selection of cafe furnishings for several finances, or could be custom made whilst not ideal for your home, we attempt to create each cafe as various as others to create customers much more comfortable and distinctive encounter while eat, therefore visit Decon’s shop to locate more decide for your approaching eateries.

thanks for the suggestions

Did you manage to import your stuff. I am planning to do the same and would love to hear your experiences. Like how much was the transport costs. Was there customs duty imposed? Where in Indonesia did you find your products?

Sorry many question, but difficult to find information

1. Hardness of wood is measured by their Janka rating. You can easily google "Janka rating merbau" and it will give you the rating. The higher the number, the stronger it is. Spruce Pine has one of the lowest Janka rating - 350 (softwood), while Ironwood / Belian has one of the highest - 3,020. Merbau is 1,710.

2. Some of the wood above are from temperate countries, some are tropical countries. Used for different purpose. Rule of thumb is tropical wood are better suited to Malaysia weather due to humidity, heat (wood expands and contracts), indoor Vs outdoor usage, etc

3. Kayu Besi - I would guess they are referring to Ironwood or Belian or Ulin or billian wood. Found primarily in Borneo, the only wood above that termites can't bite thru 🤣. Hard to find as needs to be processed before can't be exported from Sabah / Sarawak. Has one of the highest Janka ratings of the wood above. Used to built jetty and bridges in East Malaysia.

4. Different wood has different colour, textured, grains. Some might not like the yellowish colour of teak, others might prefer the American Oak feel.
