My friend and his family are pooor- last time I was at their place, they didn;t even have chairs , a table, sofa, nothing.. I wondered if there is a place where they sell stuff cheap over in the D R - doesn't have to gold plated - just chap is fine- stuff like our old pergament used to sell- or even stuff now sold at ikea- but I can;t find anywhere there to buy this stuff- it's available but even stuff I would consider knocked together by a 5 year old costs an arm and a leg- i'd sooner build it myself from a knockdown box like Ikea stuff.. just wondered... can I buy foam and maybe make some stuff - do they have places you can buy stuff to put together like an Auctio Outlet or a Home depot?
