Custom Made Furniture in Banderas Bay
Now comes the fun part of settling into your new tropical home….decorating! And while there is a wonderful selection of home furnishing stores in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit, sometimes you have an idea of exactly what you want that you just can’t find. Luckily custom made furniture is a very affordable and easy option.
There are numerous carpentry workshops throughout Banderas Bay that can make your dream furniture with only the aid of a few inspirational photos downloaded from the internet and your description of exactly what you would like. And the prices can’t be beat with coffee tables starting around $100 USD and a well-made dining table and chairs for 8 starting around $700 USD.
There are two kinds of wood that are commonly used by Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit furniture makers: pine and parrota. Pine wood is a nice option because it is very affordable and can be left in its light natural color with just a varnish to give the wood a nice protective shine or stained or painted to the color of your choice.
Parrota wood is harvested from the large Elephant Ear trees found in abundance in the Banderas Bay region. Though more expensive than pine, this dense wood is prized for its durability, natural reddish-brown color and resistance to termites and humidity, making it an excellent choice for tropical homes.
