    I have thought about this but have not yet looked into cost. There are conflicting stories in this forum about the process.One story by a couple in Esterillos shows their possessions in shambles after the container was opened for inspection. The other story about a recommended import company (recommended by Scott Oliver) makes it sound that the process is simple. Just leave it to them. Haven’t checked cost from them yet. Sorry I’m not supplying names as I can’t go find them while composing this reply.We have a 2002 Toyota 4 Runner that some say can be placed in the container. It sure would come in handy.

    Thanks for the replies so far. Not very into heavy carved Spanish colonial. More inclined to contemporary modern with simpler lines. Prefer platform beds vs. double mattress style. If the price is right, custom made coffee table, end tables bookshelf/entertainment center,
    bedframe or dining table/chairs would be great. Not trying to be snooty but many of the Italian sofas and tables seen in many of the model home pictures look very nice and light(vs. heavy, dark Spanish) for this very hot area. Don’t know where to start looking.

    I decided to work with Costa Developers who developed Costa Esterillos where we are building. To date, they have done everything they promised and all development infrastructure is finished (nicely done including about 10km of roads made from pavers throughout). They put the house out to bid, helped me (with their engineer/homebuilder team) with the architect and are now watching and checking everything as it progresses. The builder is Rock Construction. I cannot be there as they are on a daily basis and decided that the slightly higher price was worth the peace of mind. My Costa assigned team really pay attention to every detail.So far so good. Project started in Dec/08
