Buy cheap furniture with good quality – The Ultimate Taobao Furniture Guide 2.0

~ Remember, remember the eleventh of November ~

It is that time of the year again, the eleventh of November is upon us! So what? you may ask. And indeed if you are not familiar with the Chinese E-commerce scene, you may not be aware of this, but the 11th of November is judgement day for every online-shopping enthusiast. Discounts become the rule with the average rate dropping to less than 50% of its original price, and nearly all shops provide free shipping. In a way it’s a mash-up of the American Black Friday and Cyber Monday, put on steroids  – and gone Chinese.

The story of Taobao has been told time and again:

You can buy anything and everything.

You can buy it cheap – and on 11/11, that will be the understatement of the year.

Yet there’s always that one concern – quality

To mitigate against the dangers of bad quality we at 99.co have assembled from within our ranks an expert team of Taobao-shopping veterans. At your service, we have carefully curated a list of must-browse furniture shops on Taobao. So let’s get them shop carts full with cheap furniture, while the discounts last!

Before we get to the list though, some quick pointers!

1. Many special discounts and rebates are available exclusively to those residing in Malaysia and Singapore (for DBS, CitiBank, Maybank, AXS, and Revpay); check it out here.
2. The 11/11 festival also include many different shipping deals, as can be found here.
3. And lastly, for a brief, holistic overview of what is to come see the one minute guide to Taobao 11/11
