I have bought furniture also. One glass table + 4 chairs. Transportation around $600.- paid in HK. Altogether is over HKD4000.-. It's not cheap but I cannot find similar style at this price in HK.
Also need some self-assembly. The outcome and wrapping is very well. Initially we have some problem in assembly. then we call up the company on Sat & Sun but they get it resolved over the phone.
I have also buy some book shelves from Taobao. It's OK.
