Furniture and Electrical Goods

Furniture

There are also places where you can have furniture (including Kitchens) made, but again check the quality.  Other furniture makers are local craftsmen who don't have any designs/brochures. Others may offer furniture packages.

Owners of newly built apartments have arrived to find that items haven't been installed or snagging not completed etc. Some have had to pay to stay in other apartments as a result of this (at an extra cost).

Try and get assurances from the people responsible for snagging and installation of goods and fitments etc that your apartment is ready to use before you arrive.

If you are still having work done on your apartment after your furniture has been supplied it is not likely that you will be able to have any items replaced if someone damages something in your property whilst working in your property. It may be difficult to prove who caused the damage. You will need to consider this at all times, unless you are physically present to oversee any work. You may decide to bring soft furnishings over with you from abroad, or other items which you will leave in your property, so you will need to consider other people using property and possible causing some damage.

Also look at what is available or not available on other islands by reading more on furniture in Cape Verde: Furniture in Cape Verde

White goods

There are a few suppliers of quality electrical goods and furniture on the island of Sal and their are many Chinese shops selling West Point fridge freezers and other makes.

Some italian suppliers will bring in their goods from Italy.

British..............................................................from UK.

Portuguese......................................................from Portugal

I am not sute if any of the goods are made in Taiwan, but I did look up West Point on the internet!

Buying electricla goods here? 

If so you may need good power surge adaptors to help protect fridges, laptops, microwaves etc from power surges after power cuts. Some electrical goods (including extension) leads should be bought from a reputable supplier. Cheap items have been known to become faulty and sometimes dangerous, it's better to be safe than sorry!. Expats sometimes bring their own power surge adaptors from own country. Don't forget travel plugs too.
