I'm continually impressed with Hong Kong's furniture options! When OVO's storefront caught both me…read moreand my husband's eye as we passed by in a cab, we knew we had to backtrack and drop in. I'd describe the style here as contemporary Asian with touches of antique. They have a lot of gorgeous big ticket items (dining tables, wardrobes, desks) but also a substantial collection of decor items like lamps, rugs, and jewelry boxes. Pricey, but seemingly good quality and beautiful designs. Check 'em out if you're looking to treat your home to an upgrade!

For those that are familiar with HK pop culture they generally have some hidden gems. I try to get something from here anytime I'm in HK. They have a store at HKG also for those that are just doing a layover.

My husband read about this place while searching for locally manufactured gifts to bring home after…read moreour trip to Hong Kong. The store is beautiful and offers a wide array of different items, from clothing to arts and crafts and jewelry. Everything is made in Hong Kong and we loved the idea of buying something that is not mass-produced. I got some hair tube wraps, a t-shirt and some jewelry: prices are on the expensive end but I got very quality, unique items that I did not see anywhere else during my stay so all in all, it was a good trade.

DISGUSTING + SHAMELESS COMPANY. Ugly materials and even uglier customer service. Pictures tell a…read morethousand words, so look at those I've attached and AVOID AT ALL COSTS. In short, don't pay the premium for RUBBISH quality and service. For details, see below and the attached complaint to consumer council. FIRST, they made various representations about the "Italian quality" and flawlessness of wood, including making demonstrations such as burning it and scratching it with a coin etc. When it arrived the wood was dented, scratched and peeled off in various areas (as pictured). WORST OF ALL is when I emailed and phoned Centro's Customer Service Ms Yip about these defects with photos, she promised to have the defective wooden boards changed and DISHONESTLY ALLEGED that Centro's workers would come up to take measurements for replacements. Instead when these workers came, they tried to use white paint to TIPEX the defects (as pictured). I told these workers I wanted replacements to be done, to which they promised they would do so (on record again). I also immediately emailed Centro again to put it on record that painting over dents and cracks are unacceptable. Yet they now untruthfully and SHAMELESSLY claim that they have already 'fixed' the defects by having those workers come up. Consumer complaint already filed against them and more to come.

It's been a few years since we had our bedroom set custom made. It has been assembled by Centro,…read morebut incomplete. The assembly was satisfactory, drawers already crooked. When asked to put the round plastic screw covers on all of them as that's part of assembly, we were denied and to do it ourselves. We spent a lot of money here and just the disappointment grows by the day as we find how quickly the wear and tear of their products are. It is flimsy, unprofessional, poor material and astonishingly over priced! They'll tell you the table is scratch resistant, but to find out not its not chip resistant at the corners. Legs of the chair which we bought as a set are scratched up very quickly within a few weeks of use. Complained but was told that's not chip resistant. No paint or pen to help with the scratch. Just "I'm sorry." At least Bo Concept's aftercare is superb - they'll take care of you with utmost respect. Centro just takes your money and leaves you with nothing at the end. Go to Bo Concept, Tao Bao, Sham Shui Po - you'll save lots of money and get a much better product for the price.

I'm not quite sure why this Homeless has "sidekick" at the end, but either way it's such a lovely…read morelittle shop in CWB. You can find some furniture pieces here (think sideboards, shelves, and small desks), but this store focuses mostly on home decor. There was so much here that I loved, but if I had to narrow it down I was a fan of their lamps, mugs, and leather stuffed animals. I would certainly buy a ton of shit here, but unfortunately I have no space for such luxuries! :( Definitely a great spot to visit if you're looking for contemporary design, quirky decor, or a nice gift for someone.

There are 5 Homeless stores in the city but if you live in Kowloon, the Tsim Sha Tsui branch is the…read moreone to go as it is the flagship branch. It is also less crowded than the branches on Hong Kong Island, so that's a plus. I consider it as in alternative to IKEA and Pricerite, especially when I want more quirkier home goods. Homeless has been going at it since 2003 when they had their first store. Two years later, they established their foothold in Hong Kong Island by opening a flagship store in Central. The most significant thing that I found out about furniture stores is the difference of how they make you feel at home. Homeless provides this atmosphere the most, with dim lighting and and a rustic feel. IKEA has it but mostly it feels like you are in a warehouse, while Pricerite is neat and clean that feels prefabricated. Aside from the furniture, my favorite thing about Homeless is the numerous choices of accessories. I have found pen stands, magnets, clothes hangers, and other cool bric-a-brac. The huge catalog that Homeless sells consists of lighting fixtures, various clocks, chairs and tables, art sculptures and kitchenware. They also carry niche furniture brands from Europe and Asia as well as other hard-to-find and obscure brands. I will be moving house late next year and plan to redecorate our flat with lots more of Homeless goodies this time around. Orders are also available through their official website but I recommend going to the various branches in town (especially the flagship stores) to get a feel of the product and how it may fit into your home.

It's the sort of place you would wander into on a hot Saturday afternoon to get out of the heat, but then end up in there for an hour playing with the cool trinkets and funky gadgets. You'd come here to buy one or two quirky things for your house, especially if you have had enough of the local flavour "OMG, not another set of chopsticks in a little silk purse", or gifts for the person who has everything. The products aren't particularly Hong Kong or local (unlike GOD), but still interesting anyway. The stores are piled high and somewhat crammed with stuff, so you will need a bit of patience to find that ideal gift. To give you an example of the sort of thing you can buy, why not try a bath whistle. This is a small plastic bird you half fill with water and then blow into. The water makes a chirping bird noise which is pleasant enough in the bath, but utterly useless! If the bird whistle doesn't interest you, how about a chair made out of radiators, or a massive wine cork stool? It's not cheap, I suppose designer gear isn't really supposed to be, but it is pretty. They do offer some wedding list services, but this seems to be in it's infancy as I found it hard to organise this with their head office. There are a couple of locations, one in Central and one in Wan Chai.
