Jepara is only few hours from Semarang. It is also located in Central Java Indonesia however it is much smaller than Semarang as the city of Central Java. Even though Jepara is smaller and has less population than Semarang but their productivity is not less than other city in surrounded area. They even have competitive minimum wages for workers compare to other bigger city.
The thing that makes this small town big is because of the furniture they made. However the different with other city, Jepara only produce furniture that is made of teak wood for outdoor furniture. They also produce sofa furniture but usually for outdoor.
The indoor sofa furniture they have usually looks a bit conservative but it is really unique with special carve they have. This sofa furniture is very durable even you put it outdoor since the material itself is very hard and heavy and resist of rain and the hit of the sun.
However one thing that you need to consider when you plan to buy this sofa furniture to other country is that you need to consider the weather, sometimes it’s blue stain when they arrive is because the traditional makers did not dry it properly and when they ship it they also did not pack it properly.
