[stephen gilmartin]

i have purchased a 1 bedroom flat in lotus breeze ready aug 2009 has anyone got prices for basic furniture ie 2 single beds sofa bed cooker & fridge basic utensils thank you steve

[lizzy2u]

firstly its elraid building this and i would say more like aug 2010 suleder was due march 2008 and its still not finshed. we just furnished 1 bed and i would say about £3500 all in but if you do it youself book 2 weeks and you will spend most of that getting it done

Thanks for all your advise.
It seems probably a good idea to furnish our apartment myself.
I can see some problems as I have only one week booked in Jan to check it out, so if we are going to furnish the apartment we will need to organize this then, as I don't think we will be back until Aug. ( that is if Lotus breeze is completed then) I know Donna my wife will not be to happy trawling round the shops if the sun is shinning!
Can anyone give me some advise on the best places to shop for furnishings in Hurghada and how much of the cost will need to be paid upfront.

Hi Peter

Check out Areeka furniture, they are quite reasonably priced and the service is very good, they also stay open till late at night so your wife can sunbathe and shop after dark, they are opposite the seaghull hotel on sheratan road in sakalla.

Good news - Clare who does the weekly checks on my apartment has been in and measured our apartment and the Eazybed will fit comfortably in the gap between the sofa and the tv unit so I will defo go and get one now.

We like this idea, how are you going to get it to Hurghada? are you buying it and carrying it over yourself. or can your purchase with delivery to Egypt!

Hi Peter the double weighs 15kh so I will just take it as hold luggage. I have flown twice tis year with Easyjet and taken bits and pieces over ( safe and hoover to name a few ) and I have asked for fragile stickers and then they go seperately with pushchairs etc. Hoovers arent as good in Egypt so recommend you take one. I bought a Vax that weighed less than 8kg. There are alot lighter models out there. Next month we have 60kgs between the 3 of us and we dont need to take many clothes, toiletries etc as we left most things out there so hopefully I can take the bed, the dvd, mp3 docking player etc. Plus a few Xmas pressies.
Bad news - went to order the bed yesterday from House of Fraser and the price must have been a mistake ( £99 instead of £249 ) because now it has changed to £199!!
