My husband and I purchased a house in Bahia Ballena in the South Pacific. Although we are moving most of our things down, we still need a bedroom set, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher. We are coming to Costa Rica for the last two weeks of March and we plan on staying around San Jose and Sarchi for around 5 days to shop for these items. Can anyone give us specific suggestions of where to shop? Does anyone know of places around San Isidro de el General or closer to Uvita or Dominical? Any suggestions in Golfito? All information would be greatly appreciated!!

You would be better off to take a look at the ARCR (Association of Residents of Costa Rica) forum and ask this question. Most of the participants live in Costa Rica and can give you lots of information.

If I'm remembering correctly, there's Walmart in San Jose; they may be able to help you with appliances.
Living down there, you'll probably want to run to the Duty Free zone in Golfito. It'll be fun and adventurous and save you some money...
On the road to La Fortuna (via Grecia, etc.), it seems like every other building has a sign saying "Muebles aqui!"; all you need is a truck
There's bamboo furniture (smaller pieces) at the farmers market in San Isidro, btw, and according to the google, there's also other bamboo furniture (2 factories) made in town. Also, made to order: http://www.guiaaz.com/tienda/1378
Hi!
I live in Pérez Zeledon, near San Isidro too and I did look for some appliances too. There's some business in San Isidro who sale "muebles americanos" if you want to buy second hand. There's also a website you can look, it calls "encuentra 24".
Hope you'll find what you look for!
Bye!

Doesn't look low priced, but you didn't mention low prices.
