I know there are many good fashion malls. And some large furniture stores. However, are there any malls that speciallize in furniture, or home furnishings? And furniture that's not about getting freaky in?

I've looked around for that sort of thing (because I thought it would be a good place to rent a stall) but never had any luck finding one. If there is one I too would love to hear about it.

I haven't seen any but I think the problem with a furniture mall is space. People like to see the furniture laid out, to be able to sit on it and you can't do that efficiently in an average sized mall. Your best option is probably to rent land and build your own store .....

I don't know of a furniture mall as such but Devilfish Mall has a fair amount of furniture available - couple of stores doing tables/chairs, a couple doing arty stuff one doing hot tubs and a store with sexbeds/showers (gay versions) has just opened over there...

I'm pretty sure some of the store owners would be glad to make custom stuff for a fair price :)

A couple of the larger furniture makers have whole-sim stores dedicated just to furniture. I am not in-world right now, but if you search the classifieds the big ones will usually indicate if they have a huge store area.

If you are seeking a mall that many vendors sell furniture in, and where you could as well, I haven't seen any like that. Let me know if you find one, as I sell furniture and it would likely sell better in a specialized mall.

There's a large and very nicely set up furniture shop/mall not sure which, in Yamma Yamma.

The name I think starts with a P and it's a tall, four or five storey place near the centre with the name clearly visible.

I'm marooned offline at home so can't tell you any more .. except it's near my house .. but you didn't really need that did you? *blink*

Hi Isabelle, our sim is not about furniture ONLY, but most of it is, why dont you visit us? We sell prefabs, and the furniture we sell is mostly inside the houses, there is also kids furniture in 2 stores and some more store furniture in the store part of the island.

We are holding a big event today, a scavenger hunt, maybe a good moment to visit the island, you might get some nice prizes.

Make a search for Cozy Cove. We hope to see you :)

Yes Depoz is awesome! Furniture for every single room plus stuff for outside - even walls, stairs and bridges. I can't stay out of there now that I'm landscaping (as if I could before that).

And of course, there's a shoe store too! They must have built that place just for me - hehe : )

You can try the Shops at Baekdu. Not exactly a furniture mall....but it does have small stores for rent with one of which already selling nothing but furniture. I suppose if other furniture makers rented the other stores and set up their wares, it could/would become a furniture mall.

Just an idea.

A furniture mall - great idea!

I have a store at Carlton Road, lots of 100 prim empty spots there if anyone is interested - it has just been expanded. Very reasonable rent 200 prims for L$569. I'd like to see lots of others there :-)

Start plug - 3Ring, I have a sculptie based chair and sofa set, with 12 choices of colours by menu - End plug.

Best place out there I think is Ramos. I think I spelled it right ;-)
Owners are great and they make top quality products.
