Mobile Rattan Furniture Shop



During weekend, we will be able to see a few mobile rattan furniture shop like this in Subang Jaya. A lorry carrying this furniture would park by the kerb in the residential areas and unload its furnitures. You can see in this photo some customers are trying out the furnitures.

Do you have such mobile shop in your city?

Do the people who live in the street get a say in it? We have nothing like this in Tasmania, thanks for sharing it.

Hi Kris, So far no one complain coz the trader's mobile shop doesn't block traffic flow or affect the residential. The mobile shop is usually set up in wider street.

Very interesting. We dont have such mobile shop. I like some of the furnitures and the 3 and 4 tiers baskets looked useful for the kitchen. :)

hey, we have something quite similar in mumbai.. except that here the shops are set up every day, every hour... only when a police van is coming around, do the shops wrap up and disappear, only to spring back out once the van has moved on... their efficiency is amazing..

i've been busy revamping my blog. and i've got my own domain now, so im no longer hosting on blogspot. the new address is:
- Mindless Mumbai

Hi Kitsch,

This mobile shop is located at SS14/2A, Subang Jaya. It's behind a row of shops across of Metropolitan College. It's usually on weekend. It's safer to go on a Sunday.

I have created a map using Google Map to help you find your way. The link is here: http://picasaweb.google.com/subangjayadailyphoto/July2008?feat=directlink#5300043051154004866

Hope it helps! :o)

Hi there! I'm so glad I found your blog. Have been looking for rattan furniture from "uncle" businesses such as this. Thought it was a lost cause! Thanks for highlighting this!

Now, was wondering if it's still in operation since this post was two years ago? Thank you!

"Use your first smile, your first form of generosity, of love, of kindness—use it at home; start at home. And if there is something left over—if … your plate is just full of abundance of patience and goodness and smiles and joy, then by all means, you should go … and offer that to others. But we must begin at home." by Dr Robin Smith
