It is going to depend a lot on what you want. Try Bali advertiser if you don't mind used furniture. Cabinets vary. Do you want free standing or built in? If you want teak furniture get it in Java. Much of what you see in Bali has its origins in Java and is cheaper there, but that of course depends upon quantity to make the trip worthwhile.
I guess you have to be much more specific about quantity, style, material, and quality.

But if you want to browse more locally, you will find furniture places on the By-Pass as you go north from Kuta towards Sanur, some on the By-Pass south of the airport, Sunset Road, and Jalan Raya Kerobokan. Also in Ubud as you head north towards Kintomani.

wow, that's a lot of places yo can go, can you make the question more specific?

Best to stay away from the Bali Advertiser in my experience as the stuff there seems really expensive in comparison to the buying new - which can be very economical. Some of the expats have a high opinion of their stuff, too high.

I managed to furnish an entire villa from just south of Ubud - just start out in Ubud and go the main road towards Denpasar and you will see shop after factory after shop. You'll have to sharpen your elbows to get the best deals though

There are some good places in and around Gianyar too.


Don't make the mistake of thinking the stuff on show is old and nasty - if you buy, it will be sanded, varnished and delivered like new.

or they can make it look like real antique, and ofcourse charge accordingly

Don't you just love the signs, "Antiques made to order"?

Just so you know it's not only in Bali - here in the UK they are selling very popular new leather couches for big money that look like they've been sat on for the last 20 years - scuffed and scratched up as if they were very old.

And lets not go into the last 30 years of Levi's and jeans in general - never have understood that looking like they just got thrown away by a farmer after years of heavy use.

If you like real antiques you should check on Jalan Atena in Kerobokan, it's full of shops selling real antiques from Java! (Here it's all about living room and bed room.)
