 2. WHERE

In my experience, when it comes to wooden furniture, you have to pay

Liên Hà a visit. That is a small village situated to the west of Hanoi, so
it’s pretty far from my house. It has earned a regional reputation for
high-quality and affordable furniture and when you visit it, I’m
guaranteed to be amazed by the wide variety of products. So basically,
when you here, you’re spoilt for choice. I mean wooden chairs, tables
and bookshelves are available in every nook and cranny there so it
might take you a couple of hours to choose your favorite piece of
furniture.
