furniture is awesome @ taobao, there are a lot of factories you can pick, which you can tell them the size you want and they have it ready.
Many European designer counterfeit stuff though. I bought a loft style floor lights for living room $3000cdn vs $250

I've managed to get a handful of random items from TaoBao over the years. Nothing of high value, just random housewares like kettles and whatnot, and some cheap cycling gear that was < $20 as opposed to paying $100+ locally.
In the end, I got what I paid for. Nothing has broken (yet) and this is over a matter of four years. If you expect authentic, you have to pay for it, but otherwise, stuff from TaoBao and AliExpress has been acceptable for me. You'll have to manage your risks accordingly.

Taobao and AliExpress are actually the same company.

my friend tried buying something once and i guess the seller was a scammer so aliexpress (not sure the process) refunded the funds back on his CC. but having to enter the CC info worries me. not sure who has access to that information (the seller or only aliexpress whom then pays the seller?)

I dont know how well a prepaid Visa/Mastercard will cover you.
I believe aliexpress holds the funds like paypal before releasing it to the seller after X amount of days or delivery confirmation.

I spent 2 days to finish this. Feel lucky that there is only 1 missing piece, which is the clear corner light you can hardly see it. Quality is excellent, but I don't know why my door handles come in clear red. Can't expect much from $328 ($50cdn)
Way too many pieces I need to use all the buckets at home to hold all the pieces 
took me a day to build the frame, I was not too comfortable as there are 238 pages of instruction, this was only page 50 at this moment  
2nd night, already suffer from major neck pain because of building this 
This is it, it is pretty and HUGE motherfucker sitting in my room. Again, not sure why my door handles are red  | |

pretty cool for $50 cdn. I'm guessing it'll be more if it needed to be shipped to vancouver.
i've bought sets from toys r us in the past from like Kreo or Megabloks and i've had pieces missing so for something this complicated missing 1 piece from a knockoff company in asia ain't too bad
