If you don't find anything you want in Naija, import it. Furniture is now legal for importation.
But I am sure most of this furniture can be find in Naija. I like the one in the third pictures for $1599.

I'm confident in the skills of the carpenters in Nigeria. During my last vacation I was in Ikorodu and I saw many very nice, contemporary furniture on display. My uncle said the carpenters are competent, but you need to make sure you pick a strong type of wood. I can't remember the name of the wood he told me. I plan to build all my furniture in Nigeria.

On a different topic, would you happen to know where one can get a very cheap, good conditiin insulated shipping container in Nigeria? 10 or 20 ft.
why buy when you can build grin grin

Driver Abu is being
interrogated after an accident …
Policeman: So, Abu how did you end up killing 49 people?
Abu: I was driving @80km/h when I suddenly saw 2 men
crossing the road and on the other side, a wedding was taking place. I hit the brakes but they failed, so I had to make a choice:
Either I hit the 2 men or run into the wedding party.
Policeman: Hit the 2 men of course!
Abu: exactly! We think alike, but after hitting one of them, the other man escaped into the wedding party, so I went after him.. .

Happy Sunday ooo

I'm not a builder but the flat roof will be cheaper according to my calculation and seasoned builders on here.

Oga Segun,

I have never involved myself with anything that has to do with Brabus. But what you pointed out is very clear and his denying what is glaring is quite appalling. Sometimes, a man should apologize and if need be , clarify any thing that was misconstrued. I see no reason why he couldn't apologise then admit that it was later modified.

It takes a HUMBLE MIND/SPIRIT to say "I AM WRONG, my apologies please".!


Not everyone has that sense of humility!

Even Satan the Devil did not.... otherwise he wouldn't have been a "fallen Angel" as of today

It warms the cockles of my heart when I see good quality work like you showed.

It starts from the materials too.

Look how good those bricks look as opposed to the one shared before that looked like what a Cat regurgitated.

Infact, he should have complimented it with a Costing of various sizes of the PVC Windows.
But l think l know what he is talking about.
It is those Whitish, rubber-looking window frames used Abroad (mainly).

We dont particularly have "insulation" as our greatest priority, when installing Doors and Windows!
Our first priority is not even beauty, but SECURITY!

You dont want "badt boyz" using ordinary screw-drives to remove your window... in broad-day light! grin grin

In advance Climes, once they pass the "public perimeter" and step inside your space, alrm automatically notifies the Police station and before they can locate a window, Police is asking them to FREEZE .... or be SHOT!
You even have the option of shooting them yourself, when you 'stand your ground'!

So, they can afford to place "aesthetics and insulation" as top priority

But in Nigeria, its sad watching people being held at the mercy of criminals for as long as 8hours.... without any HELP! angry angry

Having said all the above, one can still use it and incorporate 'iron bars" on the window.
It will reduce the aesthetics but there is always a way out.

You are very wrong my brother.. PVC windows are more secured more that other windows aluminum and d rest. PVC windows are not held together with screws like other windows it's welded together with a welding machine and contrary to what you think Wen u hear pvc u think of plastic and can easily be destroyed Wrong!!!

Okay, l would take it that l am wrong!
Not too old to learn.


Now, can you please show me some pictures of the uPVC, possibly one where l can see the coupling/internal materials as well.
Or just refer me to the manufacturer's website so l can do some reading on my own.

Specifically, what material are they made-of?
How would they withstand the brute-force of someone trying to remove them from the wall using Chisel or Hammer?


Thank you in advance.

They're at Badore, off Addo/Langbasa road, Lagos State. If you're interested, you might want to schedule a visit to their assembly plant in Badore.
