lakeside7 Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 As you enter San Juan Cosala from Ajijic, on the mountain side, there is a guy who brings in unfinished stuff from Michocan. His prices are reasonable and if you give him the stain and brushes he will finish whatever color you want. Just before the 1st traffic light 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 You might want to check with the wood furniture maker next to Mom's Deli. We have bought things from him - well made at a reasonable price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to both He is not there everyday and it is hit and miss connecting but there is another shop about 4 to 6 doors further with about the same prices for the same stuff. I bought an entire household (and casita) of furniture from the guy, 2 big beds, tables (4 big 4 small), 8 chairs, tons of shelves, 2 little tables with drawers, 4 dressers for around 14 - 15,000. I just coated them with linseed oil but you can mix in a bit of stain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dichosalocura Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Isn't there a consignment store near the train station in Chapala? I have heard about it before but have never visited it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one nice one on Morelos for many years but it went out of business a year or more ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natasha Posted April 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Big vote of thanks to TimJWilson. Excellent dresser at that store and within the budget. Well made too.... so was worth the trip. And MtnMama the place by Mom's apparently only sells Mx-style wooden bed frames now.... but they DID have a scrap pile which produced a substitute for the pegboard needed so not a wasted trip at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
