Hi Sandra, we just refurbished our apartment, and changed all furnitures including kitchen. We also looked at the packages offered, but somehow you always have to compromise. We finally decided to buy everything in Ikea. First of all we could visit Ikea where we live permanently to see and try, s...

...econdly it is possible to order online (Ikea.es is also available in English) with reasonable delivery costs, and you can choose specific delivery date and time - and it works.

Finally we prefer the light scandinavian style, so in our opinion it is most value for the money.

Hi Michael

Thanks for your response. Yes Ikea was on our radar, certainly for most of the kitchen/lighting stuff as you can't beat their quality and prices. Good to know the system works.  I will have another look at the furniture.  I agree with your remark about the packages as I am sure we would...

Thanks again, we have a bit of time so lots of window shopping for us!

I too am buying an apartment in manilva due to complete in March! I’ve been weighing this up for ages. In the U.K. there is so much online choice eg if you want garden furniture, tables, sofas etc etc you plug it in and you get 1000s of companies AND you can see prices and spend ages looking at...

... stuff that meets yiur requirements. I’ve tried to do this in Spain but it’s so limited snd you cannot see prices. My friend has given me a couple of things to look at and the prices are way higher than U.K.  so I’ve decided to buy in the U.K. over the next 5 months and store it in my garage and ship everything over at once. That way I can shop around, get stuff in sales etc etc. I’ve just bought a really cool set of upmarket garden furniture - steel, gorgeous thick cushions, 8 seater for just over £1k including coffee table. I’d never be able to buy such quality at that price in Spain. So I’ve only got to buy a few more things and I’ll break even but have nicer stuff and it won’t be going over in drive and drabs and me having to travel around from shop to shop.

"I’ve decided to buy in the U.K" 

Check with your shipper, if buy in the UK no longer in the CU & SM', you could be faced faced with duty including VAT on the import. EU is now a third country,
