Is furniture made in Southeast Asia of good quality?
Is furniture made in Southeast Asia of good quality?
I am considering buying a bedroom set made by Magnussen Home. The set is made in Vietnam of solid hardwood. I am a little concerned that it my not be of great quality. I don't want to buy it if it is going to be a piece of junk that falls apart. Is furniture made in Southeast Asia of good quality? Or does the quality of the furniture depend more on material and quality of construction than it does on where it was built?

They have a lot of pride in their workmanship, it will probably be hand made. No doubt it will be far superior than American made furniture.
2 :
I am in the furniture business and do carry Magnussen. 95% of all case goods are made there now. They make some very well built furniture. All dove tail joints on the drawers. Nice wood on wood guides. And very nice carvings on there pieces. What group are you interested in? The Valenza and Reflections are my favorites from them. Don't worry about where it is made just look at how it's made.

What do you think was the European trade impact on Asia?
What do you think was the European trade impact on Asia?
"Europe's trade impact on Asia: first impressions" From the very first, European interests and colonistys have always declared that trade with Asia brought considerably more benefits to Asia than negative impacts. Europeans argued that it brought commerce, jobs, and eventually education, hospitals and social improvement. So what do u think?

It is hard to generalize lumping everyone together as European. Early countries such as Portugal and Holland made fortunes off the spice trade, and had little regard for the natives. However the British invested heavily in the infrastructure of modern day India and Malaysia, this helped both succeed. While countries like Vietnam and Indonesia failed, because of the lack of investment and training by their colonial rulers.

I would recommend flying from Los Angeles to Taiwan Taoyuan Int. Airport (TPE) to start your adventure. It's nearer to LA than Bangkok by 1500miles and Kuala Lumpur by 2000+ miles, and from Taiwan you can travel from one Asian country to another using the services of Air Asia who are, not only cheap, but a great airline too. http://www.airasia.com/tw/en/home.html To get to Taiwan from LA you have a choice of Malaysia Airlines, Eva Air and China Airlines and in terms of price they are in the same order. Whatever you decide, have a great time as I'm sure you will.
