You also have the option to get the Mennonite people build custom-made mahogany or hard wood furniture for you. The Mennonite community is a 5-minute walk from where I work, and they deliver to Placencia. Right now, I have a brand new mahogany handmade closet that cost me about US $250. If I went to the furniture shops to buy that closet, it would cost around $1,200.

Yes, you can buy furniture in Placencia. A custom furniture maker named Raegan has made tables and cabinets for me. He's made many of the beds, other furniture, and a lot of kitchen cabinets for people that I know. He doesn't have a storefront, so you just go to him and explain what you want and he designs it for you and makes it for you. He's a Canadian who married a Belizean woman, and they own a bar that's named after her, Yoli. He primarily does woodwork and she runs a little...

Belize, was a virtually a logging country, which is why the English settled here. The wood that is available in Belize is absolutely gorgeous and beautiful. Reagan mixes and matches for the furniture he creates. Sometimes, he creates furniture out of tree trunks and branches for people who really want something unusual.
 
I've had 3 furniture pieces made and designed for me by Raegan, and I was surprised each time with the price as it was lower than I was expecting him to say.
 
If Raegan is unavailable and you need some furniture, there are a couple of little places along the peninsula that sell some basic furniture. It is interesting that there used to be more of that, but over the years it has kind of dwindled down, so most of the people go up to Belize City or Belmopan to buy furniture. There's a very big store in Belize City, a 3-hour drive away. Belmopan, on the other hand, is 1.5 to 2 hours away from Placencia.  There you can find basic furniture, as well as Mennonite furniture.  Mennonites are known for making furniture.   Mostly, they’re in the northern and central parts of Belize.
