Costa Rica furniture prices are considered expensive due to the fact that a majority is imported and heavily taxed.  After extensive research in setting up my own Costa Rica home, I decided on Costa Rica manufactured custom furniture based on its overall better quality and price.

It turned out that my neighbor's cousin manufactures hardwood maple furniture, retails the furniture in his own stores and wholesales the furniture to other area independent and chain stores (ie: all Grupo M's namesakes: Importadora Monge, El Gallo más Gallo and El Verdugo). The cousin went over my list and made detailed offers of items and prices that easily beat all other sources. All furniture was custom ordered where I was able to pick; designs, sizes, finishes, fabrics, etc.
