Hi Roger,
We went to quite a few shops including one that they said sold English Furniture and found the choice to be very limited i.e. the settees/sofas seem to be the same design but a different colour.
As we said before we've been to several shops here in the UK and for the same price or less we can actualy have a choice plus the furniture here in the UK is better quality, i don't know if this was because we were looking in the wrong shops. The other problem we had was finding shops that sold utensils or nice crockery, (we couldn't find any). We were told by a English couple that there are plenty of nice shops 15 minutes away from Almeria Airport(a long way to go for crockery).
The furniture in Spain would be okay for rental but it depends on how long you wan't it to last, we did see some furniture that was okay but it was very expensive.
We also phoned several Haulage companies for quotes on delivering furniture to Spain there were three who more or less gave the same price for delivery £930.00 but I suppose if there were more of you we could ask for discount.
Hope this helps, check out the latest shared photo's
