Online, this furniture looks very similar in appearance to the Dakota furniture on our website but there are similarities and marked differences. The similarity is in the design and the dark colouring. That said, the Tampica is a much redder colour than the Dakota living room furniture that is dark brown with some reddish tones.

Up close though, the ranges are very different with the solid Dakota wood range having a more rustic finish that reveals the character of the mango wood from which it is made, and the Tampica having a far more uniform and refined finish that is achieved through the use of carefully selected veneers. The very different looks of the ranges reveal their very different origins; Dakota is handmade furniture whereas Tampica is a range of furniture made in a large factory by machines.
