PATIO • LAWN • OUTDOOR FURNITURE

Finding GOOD QUALITY and REASONABLY PRICED
PATIO • OUTDOOR FURNITURE
in Costa Rica is not an easy task - especially since most of them can be found in the more upscale (like Escazu) and/or beach areas.

If you're not wanting to fork out a BUNCH of $$$, IF it were ME, the first thing I'd do is I would post my OWN listing of what I'M SEEKING on:
and I'd join and post also on:

OR - if you want to RE-COVER what you have (or find at the rare Garage Sale) - check out my listing on FABRIC STORES:


@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


STORES THAT CARRY PATIO • OUTDOOR FURNITURE
ALISS 
(I've seen people spell it Alyiss or Allys)
Costa Rica doesn't have many "department stores" but Aliss is MY FAV!!! They have many COOL/funky/unique things from bedding to furniture for inside and Outdoor•Patio Furniture (I think their selection is one of the largest), fountains to kitchen chachkee as well as clothing (downstairs) at decent prices and a GOOD SELECTION!! Every day of the week they have discounts on different types of items, too. Unique things I've found at Alyss - these really neat candle trees - a 3 1/2' metal shaped tree with 34 candle holders in it for just $16 each (in the states that would have been about $70+), sort of orange dishes with purple shiny stones in them (VERY festive!!), a multi-colored shower curtain and cool towels (including bright ORANGE ones!!), bright sheets (only one set as now I'm ordering them online and bringing them back on those trips though one day I'm going to try mailing them), rugs, etc., a bamboo room divider, rattan placemats and LOTS MORE!!). I've also found their things like kitchen chachkees like spatulas, serving spoons, etc. cheaper like I've found things overall there. THE BEST place I've found for the COOLEST Christmas decorations (which to me can make for FUN household decorative things year-round!!)
