Rattan furniture
There are two very good places to go. 1) is Mimbre y Rattan Navarrete. The owner is Tito Bueno. Either he or his wife are at the factory there in Navarrete.
Directions: Go to the right when you get down the mountain. Just after passing the entrance to the Linda factory, there is a small (tiny) shopping mall on your left. There is a small alleyway right next to this. Turn left and you end at the factory. Or ask anyone in Navarrete where to find Tito...
2) Rattan Dominicano is located on the road that connects the Duarte Hwy and Avenida Juan Pablo Duarte.
Directions: Come into Santiago by the main highway from POP, through the tunnel.go straight when you come to the roundabout (traffic circle). this is Estrella Sadhal?. Go straight on this road past eight or nine traffic lights. Do NOT take the elevated portion. At the second light under the elevated portion, turn left. This is Juan Pablo Duarte. Follow this road for three or four lights, look for an Esso Station on your right.
The next light is the road you want. You can only turn right. About 200 yards on your left is the entrance to Rattan Dominicano. The owner is Sang Ben, probably Ping Jan will be there. Good people.
Hope this works.

If in Sosua, Mimbre y Rattan, heading towards Cabarete on the left beyond the car wash.....It has German owners, and they are perfectionists! (Yvonne and, I believe Otto- but am not certain about the husband's name. (809) 571-2960)
They have an extensive showroom, both upstairs and down. Bring a photo and they will copy the design. I recently ordered a few pieces. The owner came to my house and gave me some design advice before I ordered. I have several other pieces in my house which they made. The work is good. They know how to meet deadlines.
Now. They may charge higher prices than the other places. I don't know this, as I like to deal locally and figure that the money I would spend running around and looking just eats up the savings.
I am just offering one more place to look and maybe purchase. Good luck and have fun!

We used Suk-Lang Sang. She is located in Santiago. We arranged everything by email and phone from Canada. We emailed her pics of what we were interested in. She emailed back pics of furiture that they build.The furniture was delivered to our Condo in Cabarete, all while out of country and having never met face to face. When I arrived to finish setting up the place I was amazed at the quality of the furniture(a few pieces were upgrades of what we ordered- no charge). My realator was on hand for the delivery and he was also very impressed with the quality and price.
