If anything excites a Singaporean homeowner, it’s the thought of scoring a sweet deal in the form of affordable furniture. Pair that with shopping in JB – meaning lower prices thanks to our exchange rate – and you have Squirrel Interstore.
With an online store and physical showroom to browse from, here’s what you can look forward to adding to your cart.
Browse themed furniture series
Doesn’t matter if you’re into rustic stone furniture or prefer a simple Japandi-inspired look for your crib; Squirrel Interstore has something to offer a wide variety of tastes. Looking through their website, we noticed several furniture series, from Italian Minimalist to Sintered Stone. You can also filter your choices based on the room you’re shopping for, whether the kitchen or bedroom.

Most collections have lots of furniture options too, like the Scandinavian Wooden series that starts from RM249 (~$75). This is great for newbie homeowners starting from a blank canvas – a cohesive collection will lessen the legwork of envisioning different pieces together in your brand-new BTO.

But if you have a particular vision for your space, look out for the customisable options. The Italian Minimalist series, for example, comes with dining tables you can tailor to your taste – choose between rectangular or oval wooden table tops, or swap them out for marble for something more eye-catching.

Budgeting may be a challenge in 2024, but Squirrel Interstore is kinder on the wallet when compared to most furniture shop prices in Singapore. While customisable furniture often comes with a hefty price tag, the fee here starts from only RM150 (~$75).
Their sintered stone (L) and crystal stone (R) collections have a range of colours to pick from.

We even spotted crystal and sintered stone dining sets starting from just RM659 (~$200); a steal, considering prices for such pieces typically range upwards of $500 locally.
Cop gems like this stylish IKEA-esque kitchen cart for RM399 (~$121).

The e-store also has a super sale section full of special promotions and clearance items, from velvet dining chairs to TV consoles and vanity tables.
Unmanned physical store experience

Squirrel Interstore may be Malaysia’s first online furniture shop, but it also has a completely unmanned showroom you can visit in person if you’d like to get a proper look and feel of the pieces before buying.
An unmanned store also means shopping without added pressure from salespeople.

While the showroom’s selection is not as extensive as that online, you can view items like dining tables and chairs here. It’s just a 5-minute drive – or 15-minute walk – from Mid Valley Southkey, making it a convenient pit stop if you’re ever in JB for a day or two.
Though no staff are around, there are clear instructions on how to order an item if something catches your eye in-store. All furniture comes with a product QR code you can scan to make a purchase online. Customer support is also available via their website and helpline.

Getting into the store won’t be trouble either. At the entrance, simply drop their customer service line a WhatsApp message with a photo of your IC or license for identification. You’ll then be let in through the automatic door, or receive a passcode you can use to enter.
Shipping to Singapore available
Whittling down your choices to the perfect piece to get is only half the battle won with furniture shopping. With bulky purchases comes the task of settling shipping and installation costs, which thankfully Squirrel Interstore makes easy.
While it doesn’t have free shipping to Singapore, the shop offers customers flexible options based on their preferences. Shoppers who decide to order via Squirrel Care – the store’s in-house transport team – will receive doorstep delivery and installation within 7-14 business days. The cost depends on your order and will be calculated upon checkout.
Otherwise, you can opt for an external courier service for faster delivery within 3-7 business days, though this won’t include installation. There’s also the option of free self pick-up from their JB Southkey outlet.
Additionally, all furniture from the store is covered by a 3-month, 1-year, or 5-year warranty, with a 1-month free satisfaction guarantee customers can enjoy.
