Helen,
Thats great news, thanks we'll have a look in July and see what we can get. I imagine they will be cheaper than the furniture packs aswell.
Did any of them speak English?, we have learnt basic Bulgarian so may be able to get understood with help of a phrase book.
Thanks
AA - there is a good furniture shop at the beginning of Bulgaria Blvd, a TechnoMarket outlet and several other good shops. Getting stuff delivered from Smolyan is so much easier than from Plovdiv as we have done both.
Some spoke English - this was some time ago though and may have changed. Last time I was in Smolyan I heard a lot more English than in the past. Take the phrase book and give it a go - you never know you might surprise yourself.
I dont know much about the furniture packs, but would imagine Smolyan to be cheaper. There are some stores where you can order items, that take a few weeks as well (forgot to mention that last time). It all depends what they have in stock and what it ...

If not there are also many stores in Plovdiv that supply furniture, and the delivery costs are not exactly expensive !
Thanks very much for the info, we are looking forward to July and exploring buying furniture. We feel much happier knowing Smolyan has these shops we can go to.
Can't wait !!!
