Selling Warehouse Direct Indonesian Furniture Online

In 2002, Glenn Madden decided to move from the United States to Indonesia in order to be with his wife and child. He set up an Internet business offering Web design services and also started selling collectibles and warehouse direct, hand-carved teak and mahogany furniture online.

Quality Furniture from Master Craftsmen

Since Glenn can source furniture directly from local producers in Indonesia, the hand-carved furniture he offers on his site http://tradur.com is significantly cheaper than retail prices in the U.S., Europe and Australia. He also offers the ability to custom build furniture by Indonesian master craftsmen according to customer specifications.

In addition, his collectibles site and his Web design business enable Glenn to diversify his income stream.
