Hello, I'm looking for tables/benches for 80 students in a village school.. (read recently somebody closed down a school)
Or can anyone kindly refer me to a carpenter who charges a reasonable price? Please advise how much I should be paying too, thanks in advance

Try joining the Siem Reap NGO network or Expat and Locals Group on facebook, lots of helpful advice there.

I'm still looking to get tables/benches for 80 students, because the offer for bar furniture has been taken.
was a lil late, since i couldnt get hold of the teacher, and someone else with bad english and lousy attitude barged in.

Timber is very expensive,i employ a carpenter full time but its not the wages but the supplies,a round table that can sit 6 people costs me about $20 in timber alone and single wooden chairs are about $8 in timber. so try and find second hand if possible.preppy_chic wrote:Hello, I'm looking for tables/benches for 80 students in a village school..

My honest opinion, the person sounds a bit slack. Were he to contact me after you passed him my contact detail I would personally get a friend to pick him up and have the owner directly show him the furniture, nothing gain on my part.
Anyway like tarariverboat said find secondhand ones, or alternatively hire classrooms at a school nearby after the school hour before financially committed in such investment.

flying chicken,
i tried calling the teacher, but no answers then, and when he finally got back to me, he said his phone was spoilt. thanks anyway.
there's no nearby school... and yeah, I'm hoping to get secondhand ones which is why I'm here! Message me if there's any leads, don't want people loitering here for a good buy.. when I'm trying to help a good cause! Argh!
I'll be back in Siem Reap in early November, so hopefully I can get things settled by then!
