Default Best Places in Dubai to buy Furniture

We have a 4 bedroom duplex in Al Ain to furnish from bottom to top. We are coming to Dubai for the weekend to organise as much as possible as the choice in Al Ain is limited. What are the best places to go in Dubai. We are interested in modern trendy stuff!!

Thanks in advance

Probably The One will be your best bet...The have a big store on Beach Road, next to the Grand Mosque...and there is a Zara Home opposite...

Otherwise you can go to the Mall of the Emirates...there they have a few furniture stores on the top level...the One, ID Design has some nice things as well, and there are a few other shops there as well...

Following on from the above theme and reply, were would the best place be to go for furniture when on a limited budget of 20kAED.

I shall be arriving in Dubai mid to late February and will be moving into a two bed plus study house on the Springs.

Thanks to all who reply,

Andy
