Planning to deck out your new place in Taobao furniture, but unsure where to start? Keep this list handy for a tried and tested collection of sellers on Taobao Singapore who will absolutely deliver, as advertised, the goods for your dream home.
The 11.11 Shopping Festival is once again upon us! What was originally meant to be set apart for the celebration of singles all over the world, is now marked by the much anticipated annual slashing of prices on everything you have been wish-listing in the past month or so on Taobao Singapore — bachelor or not. However, getting furniture from Taobao can be pretty tricky for a number of reasons. First of all, it’s either entirely in Mandarin, or in broken English translation. If you can get past that with the help of image search or some helpful keywords, there’s still the tension of having to trust a random merchant with some big-ticket items based purely on a couple of pretty pictures. Thus, we did some research and scoured the net for the most trustworthy Taobao furniture stores that have been tried and tested to deliver high-quality pieces that are as advertised.
Updates About Storage Fees (入库费)
But first — it’s been brought to our attention that there have been cases of unexpected warehouse fees for bulky items. Why does this happen? Well, sellers are preempting situations (i.e. rejections) that commonly happen when an item is large, especially when you use Cainiao as a shipping option. Thus, these sellers charge a warehouse fee to cover the cost of delivery in case the items get rejected. However, there are moments when they charge just to earn extra cash from consumers who don’t know about this fee. While most sellers won’t charge, we advise shoppers to switch sellers whenever this happens.

Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to spend a fortune to get your dream leather couch. Simply purchase IKEA’s KIVIK Three-seat Sofa and dress it up in a made-to-order cover of your choice. Choose between a wide array of colours of fabric — there’s leather, water-proof fabric, and even velvet. The best part? Since it all comes equipped with zips, you can easily slip the covers on and off whenever it needs a wash!

2. Full Of Ideas

If you’re a fan of interior design and architecture like I am, you’ll probably have an entire board on Pinterest dedicated to your ideal future home. And these porcelain and wood pendant lights from Taobao look like they came straight from there. You can customise the arrangement of these lights (cluster, singular, or in a straight line), as well as the colour of the light shades. Additionally, if you need brackets to get those light fixtures up onto the ceiling, but aren’t willing to get them at a local store, here’s a Taobao option for you.

3. Rattan Collect

One of the nicest local furniture stores, in my opinion, has to be Island Living. Not only do they nail that effortless boho aesthetic, they actually make you want to buy rattan. And anyone in their mid to late twenties would understand the semi-traumatic memories that said material might have scarred me with. However, Rattan Collect has sensibly steered away from all disciplinary matters and engineered a customisable Taobao furniture service. Think TV consoles, bookcases, and even lounge chairs. The world is your oyster.

Now that we’re mostly studying or working from home, study tables and chairs have never been more vital for our posture and general sanity. Segregating certain areas in the house for work and study can help achieve a work-life balance that might otherwise go missing if we’re constantly working from the sofa or the bed. And there’s no better way to mark out those territories than with tables and chairs made of solid wood — customisable in shade and type. They’ve also got dining tables, coffee tables, and benches available.

Like most of you, I’ve recently been on a home renovation binge on YouTube. It all started after I caught a video from a favourite YouTuber of mine, Lucy Wood. As part of her series of renovations, she redid her bathroom. And one of the most eye-catching elements that completely transformed her room was the glazed tiles that she had fitted onto her walls. And it definitely wasn’t cheap! Thankfully for us, Taobao has everything — yes, even tiles of all sizes, shades, textures, and colours.

There are countless guides on Muji-inspired Taobao furniture (we’ve got one too), however, probably one of the most unique entries in that category would be Shi Ba Zhi’s paper furniture. Yes, you heard that right! Not only are these items portable (even the bed frame), they also happen to be incredibly aesthetically pleasing. They’ve got display racks, benches, lamps, and even pet beds!

Mirrors are expensive. Especially those gorgeous Scandinavian ones from Castlery. Yet, it can do wonders for smaller spaces and give it the illusion of depth or make your room a lot brighter, depending on where you angle those reflective surfaces. These ones from Xia Feng Chun come in three different variations (silver, black or gold), and can be hung up on the wall or perched against it with the built-in stand. There are also varying width sizes for you to choose from!
