...and ANTIQUITIES ! Shop at Chao Wai market close to Ritan park. The place is full of old and old-looking tables, chairs etc. You need to check the custom regulations to export the items to your own country: special taxes must have been paid and items must be marked with round red&white tiny labels. Remember to bargain here also; the service is good and will be delivery at your door for a minimal payment of few Renmins (summer or wintertime and no matter how heavy your chair or table is, the delivery will usually be made by bicycle!). On the picture (taken at my parents house in Beijing), some of the coffee tables I bought!
