No HK move is complete…
No HK move is complete…without a trip to Ikea. If you find yourself arriving before your shipment, discover that what you brought with you just won’t work with the space you have, or open up your box of dishes to find a jigsaw puzzle instead, Ikea can come to the rescue. With 3 stores in Hong Kong, low prices and delivery services, you’d be hard-pressed to find a flat in Hong Kong without at least one item from Ikea. ikea.com/hk/en/
If you aren’t interested in joining the masses with an Ikea purchase, there are a couple of forums where you can find individuals selling second-hand furniture:

Interest free loan from ESF
Costs for startup can be significant so we suggest you take advantage of the interest free loan from ESF.
