no, the prices are fine, from i have seen in a catalogue. but i am afraid it will not take fancy of dominicans: too light, too modern and too cheap looking.
but i will sail there straight away to buy sofa camas
Robert has a point. The locally made furniture is some of the most uncomfortable I have ever seen. Some of it also reminds me of the gaudy stuff I saw in Sri Lanka. For that reason alone Ikea stands a chance to do some business just because it is so different.
Let us know how good the sofa cama is.
I disagree, it might not be to the taste of those Dominicans living in Zona Oriental etc, but all the Dominicans I have spoken to have told me they are dying to get inside IKEA and buy. I have no doubt IKEA will do very well here.
The capital must have 10+ contemporary furniture stores, the largest being Ilumel which is HUGE and super expensive! These types of stores are going to take a hit.
Roble, Caoba is the heritage of the Dominicans, you cant compare that to plywood furniture.
Does anyone know if the Cinnebun is also in IKEA?????
