I have been to many furniture shops here in Metro Manila, but this is the first time I have fallen…read morein love with one. As soon as I stepped inside A-11, the place took my breath away. I have never seen so many beautiful yet functional bespoke furniture and decorative pieces in my life. Eric Paras is a goddamn genius and I am so thankful I finally found my way to his showroom. I have never coveted furniture the way I did during my visit there, and if I were living in a big enough place (and had the money to begin with) I may have bought half the joint out. Talking about that though, the price point's obviously high over here, but for what you're getting, it's totally worth the investment. These are statement pieces that will stand the test of time. You should really look into this place and see if there is something here for you and your home.

Manila is a city filled with interesting places found off the beaten path. Once such space is A-11…read moreFurniture Gallery, local interior designer Eric Paras' beautiful showroom housed in a spacious compound along F.B. Harrison Street in Pasay City. The compound itself is a sight to behold with its row of liberation-style houses, five of which were renovated and restored as The Henry Hotel; a boutique hotel project helmed by Paras himself. At the edge of the compound sits A-11 in all its post-war glory. Upon entering, I couldn't help but be taken aback by the beautiful interiors, put together so tastefully by the designer. The showroom feels very much like a lived-in residence, whose owner probably just went off to the market. You may not see him or her, but every inch of the space undoubtedly has his or her mark. Perhaps one of the grandest displays in the room is a wall of decorative plates artfully arranged and looking out to a beautiful tableau of ceramic and porcelain tableware. The kitchen is another sight to behold with its high-ceilings and rustic kitchenware on display. Upstairs, the colonial rooms are dressed up in a contemporary way while still keeping a vintage feel. One really can't help but feel enthused as each room is perused. If you are on the hunt for some inspiration on furnishing your home, a visit to A-11 is definitely a must.

I purchased a condo in Manila and ordered my products from this company three months in advance. I…read morestipulated on the order that they needed to be delivered on Dec 11 2024 or they should cancel the order. On delivery day they only had 4 of the 16 products I ordered and told me that I could not cancel or get a refund. They told me the items were not in stock but if I cancelled I would have to pay a restock fee, that was a confusing theory. Over the next couple months they delivered one or two products occasionally and also delivered multiple excuses. I had many arguments with company admin about this order but they were not very interested in making things right for me. Apparently it is some type of honor or privilege to buy from Furniture Manila and I should just be happy I am getting any of my order and just accept their gross incompetence. After three months I had to go back to the US and still not received the entire order. I was given a credit voucher and a 10% discount on next purchase. Back to Manila in Dec 2025 and had to purchase products that I really did not need just to use up the credit. The only thing I can say positive about this company is that I am now done with them. In 64 years of life, this is by far the worst business transaction I have ever had and feel that Furniture Manila showed me no respect and does not even understand the customer service concept. All the products that Furniture Manila could not deliver I purchase from other companies and the transaction was complete in a few days. This company gets a zero from me.

See photos attached. Dominique Dining Set Price: 30,999 Quality: 2/5 Not the same as advertised. Look at the pictures for comparison. Sa website nila, may pa-braid design sa edges. In reality, wala. Communication-wise Rating: 0/5 This was the deal breaker for me. Working ako abroad so magka-iba timezone. I communicated that with them una pa lang na ang nanay ko makakakuha ng items ko. When my mom was asking for updates re the orders, sabi ba naman nila, "Hindi kami makakapagbigay ng update sayo dahil hindi ikaw ang buyer." Buti sana kung nag rereply sila sa email or Viber within their hours. Pero wala. Very disappointing. Nagbasa ako ng review comments sa Yelp about sa kanila, and 6 years ago ito rin yung issue ng ibang buyers. Like hello, 6 years ganito pa rin quality ng service niyo... That says a lot. Delivery Rating: 0/5 Nag-cancel sila ng delivery. Ang rule nila is 9-6pm ang delivery and pag nag cancel si customer, may bayad. Pero walang sinasabi na kapag sila nag-cancel, may compensation man lang sa side ni customer. Galing di ba. Overall rating: 0/5 I regretted ordering from them. Mahal pero hindi maganda kalidad ng mga furniture. Stick to Mandaue Foam talaga. At least doon talagang subok na yung materyales na ginagamit. May sofa kami there 10 years na. Gusto ko lang talaga itry itong Furniture MNL. Sayang.

Can i grow organic herbs and vegetables for my every day cooking in my living room, without soil…read moreand not worry about watering them? Yes, i can!! I am not dreaming, nor kidding. The store Grass roots is offering a product called "Urban Farm" which can do everything that i mentioned above. Urban Farmer is a hydroponic system that is built inside a cabinet which you can place anywhere in your house. Hydroponics is a system of growing plants without having to use soil. The conditions in a hydroponics system are same throughout the year allowing year round growth of plants. The system also uses only 10% of water as against the traditional methods. I was informed that using this system you can produce 4 times more and the plants grow at a much faster pace. However it all comes with a price. The big cabinet costs 90,000 peso and a smaller one with two trays comes for 30,000 peso. This is something i would really want to buy once i save up enough money.

I'm a big fan of stores that are nationalistic, quality-oriented and eco-friendly. Grassroots is…read morejust that. Their products - (furniture and home accessories) are all made out of indigenous materials and have high standard craftsmanship made by skilled weavers from provinces. Another thing I love about the store is the distinct and modern Filipino-island themed motif they have for all of their products. They even have collections to choose from so if you want to pair certain items with the same materials or color scheme or mix and match, you can definitely do so. What's more is that they also do custom work so if you want something specially made, go for it! I haven't bought any furniture from them since I don't have a place of my own yet but I do love their picture frames and storage boxes. I love jewelry so I have gotten some jewelry boxes for myself and my mum (she has a jewelry collection that can match Rachel Zoe's!) and I also gave her some watch boxes which she adored.

But then, I pitied my mom and eventually had to familiarize myself with what this store had to offer. This Ace Hardware is pretty complete. They have almost everything you need to run a house. In this shop, you'll find knobs, tubes, lights, paint, mats and kitchen stuff. Oh, they also have these seeds you can buy so you can grow a garden. Because I recently got a little cat, I've been going around looking for food and other items it needs. Today, when I went to Ace Hardware, I was so happy because they had the sand I need to put in the cat's litter box. Yes, they also have items for dogs. Don't forget to whip out your SM Advantage cards when paying so you can earn points. And also check this shop out when you're in the area. They have sales and things really cost cheaper. They also have items on bargain almost every month.

I have been buying things from Ace hardware since 4 years that I moved to Manila. Though we moved…read moreinto a fully furnished unit, there were still lot of things that we had to buy. Located in Greenbelt it was convenient for me to buy all that I needed. This place sells everything that you need to set up your house. Fans, bulbs, tubes, flashlights, bathroom fixtures, door bells, door mats, iron board, hangers, gardening materials to name a few. You name it and they have it. They have a separate section for all your cleaning needs be it kitchen, bathroom or car. Do try their charcoal based organic air freshener for dispensing shoe odor or the charcoal freshener for refrigerator. I do get lost in the different sections but the ever helpful staffs assist in no time. Do watch out for their sale and you can end up buying pretty good stuff for a good bargain.

If I had money, I would probably buy everything in the store just because of how amazing everything is here. MUJI is one of the few places where I can buy logo-less items (I hate anything with logos and branding). From their clothes to their travel accessories, everything is just so...Japanese: simple and practical! Also, the colors of all their products are my favorite color palette! So, when I buy something, I know it will match my outfits or anything in my room. The only downside is that, yeah, this place is not cheap (huhu!). But, for the price, you know you are buying quality products that won't tear or tatter after so much use. Which also means, you don't need to keep buying new accessories ever month or so. So, it's a win-win situation. Overall, I definitely recommend that you check MUJI out. I really love MUJI's "brandless" philosophy. I hope they will open up more accessible stores in the future. :)
