Where to find a Tri-leg chair?

(Intan)Hi Miree, I'm looking for a Tri-leg chair shaped as the one in the attachedpictures.
The last time I've seen it in the duty free traditional souvenir shop atthe Soekarno Hatta airport.
I wonder where can I buy similar chairs and perhaps you can recommend meother stores?
Thanks,

(Miree) Hi Intan, I must admit I have not seen a Tri-leg chair in the time I have been in Jakarta, but places to start looking and asking at would be Chic-mart in Kemang Raya, Pasaraya and Trendy Home furnishing stores that stock leather goods. Also would be a good idea to take a picture around with you and one of the shops you visit maybe able to point you in the right direction. I will also ask around and see what I can come up with. Hope you are successful finding one. Regards, Miree.

Some questions about Living in Jakarta ...

(Miree) Hi Miree,How are you? What happened to you website? I couldn't access it for the past few days. First of all, I wanted to thank you for the leads on Robert's Furniture and the Kemang Travel Agency, both of which I had the pleasure of dealing with. Also, I was wondering if you have answers to my questions re Jakarta stuff:
1. Would you know of a good but inexpensive carpenter who can do simplecarpentry work/repairs around the house?
2. I have a glass door from the living room leading to the garden and would like to add a screen door to allow the air in. Would you know ofa good but inexpensive supplier who can do this? I had it quoted before and they gave me a very expensive quotation of Rp220M!
3. Would you know of a cabinet supplier who can add a plywood or MDF cabinet under the stairs?
4. Would you know of a good supplier who can make upholstered furniture?
5. Lastly, is there a reputable/legit masseuse/reflexologist who can go to my house for home service? I tried surfing the net for this and the results that came out are the shady services. Help! Many thanks!
