I am looking for a place where I can buy decent-quality but not hugely expensive furniture, particularly a small couch/easy chair, and lamps. I am also interested to know if anyone can tell me the location of good charity shops to buy clothes. I live in St. Julian's and don't have a car, so stuff close by or bus accessible would be best, but if need be I can borrow a car... Thank you!

I'm in Malta. I did find the SPCA shop in Sliema last night--very good recommendation! Thank you. I'd be happy to hear more suggestions, because although I found nice clothes and household items there, they didn't have any furniture. If you know a place, even if it's not a charity or second-hand shop, that sells furniture at decent prices, I'd love to hear about it. Is there any IKEA dealer in the country, for example?

Hi Stephanie,

first a happy welcome.
Unfortunately there is no IKEA in Malta. IŽve heard that you can perhaps order over an Italien IKEA, which can still be cheaper than the normal furniture shops here. I think The Atrium is the biggest shop here. I wasnŽt there so I cannot give you any infos about the prices. I have the same problem and IŽm looking for a good desk for my little office. Perhaps I can tell something about the prices next week.

Decent prices also mean decent quality

There are 3 monthly magazines (paper copy and online) full of advertisements which have been (and still are) a big help for me finding several things.

There is Maltashopper who sells IKEA items from Italy catalogue with a "handling and delivery charge" ... don't know how much this is, but if you're interested, you can contact them.

I would also recommend PowerHouse in Iklin just off Birkirkara bypass roundabout. I've been there twice and they have really good and decent stuff for not too bad prices. I am actually buying some stuff from them in the end of this month as I am moving. You can also have a look at their Facebook page HERE

Goo luck!
