Have just returned from Bali (one week ago) We have been four years running. Last year we bought furniture from Sonata Antiques in Batubulan. Even though it was May and the trouble was at it's height we eventually got our furnture at the end of August and it was all just fine, exactly the way we saw the samples in Batubulan. They have a site on the web and they have the whole catalogue there. We have found them a great lace and their shippers Bali Nikki Cargo also good everything worked without a hitch and our furniture was so good that we bought some more for friends this year will keep the forum posted about how long it took this year.
Incidently we stayed at the Pita Maha again this year, it's a great hotel, nothing is too much trouble for the staff there. Hope that this is of some use to buyers of furniture, Bali is just such a great Island, we found the people so wonderful, helpful, cheerful, friendly ... you name it they are amongst the nicest people in the world. Reading some of the things posted on this site sometimes I wonder if people have been to the same lace as me, I can only think that if anyone has trouble in Bali then they have got to sit down and examine why...maybe it's their fault??
